1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing tiny amounts of data that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make websites function efficiently, enhance user experience, remember preferences, and provide analytical information to site owners.

​

This policy applies to our website (www.campdenbrook.co.uk) and complies with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

​

​

2. PECR Compliance & Consent Mechanics

Under PECR, we are legally required to obtain your explicit, opt-in consent before deploying any non-essential cookies (such as analytics, functional, or marketing cookies) on your device.

​

How Our Cookie Banner Works:

• No Pre-Ticked Boxes: Upon visiting our website for the first time, a transparent Cookie Preference Banner is displayed. All non-essential cookie categories are toggled OFF by default.

• Prior Consent Requirement: No non-essential cookies are loaded or stored on your browser until you explicitly click "Accept All" or select custom preferences via "Save Preferences".

• Essential Cookies Exception: Essential (Strictly Necessary) cookies do not require prior consent, as they are required for technical navigation and security.

• Granular Control: You can modify or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the permanent "Cookie Settings" icon positioned in the bottom footer of our website.
