Cookie Policy

​

This Cookie Policy explains how Avsa Limited (“Avsa”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you access or use this website.
Avsa Limited is committed to protecting your privacy and to keeping the use of cookies and similar technologies on this website to an absolute minimum.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow a website to recognise a user's device and may be used for a number of purposes, including enabling essential website functionality, maintaining security, remembering certain preferences and improving the way a website operates.
Cookies may be either:

• Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or

• Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.

Cookies may also be set directly by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services (“third-party cookies”).
2. Our Approach to Cookies
We take a minimal approach to the use of cookies.
Where possible, we operate this website without using cookies or other tracking technologies. Where cookies are technically required, we limit their use to those that are necessary for the website to function properly, securely and as intended.
We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling, cross-site tracking or non-essential analytics.
3. What Cookies Do We Use?
We only use strictly necessary cookies, where and when such cookies are required for the basic operation, security or functionality of the website.
These cookies may, for example, be necessary to:

• Enable essential website functionality;

• Maintain the security and integrity of the website;

• Support the operation and submission of enquiry or contact forms;

• Prevent misuse or unauthorised activity;

• Maintain essential technical or session-related functionality; or

• Enable the website to operate as intended.

Strictly necessary cookies are different from cookies used for analytics, advertising or marketing purposes. They are generally essential to providing a service or functionality that you have requested.
Where strictly necessary cookies are used, they are not used to create advertising profiles or to monitor your browsing activity across other websites.
4. Cookies We Do Not Use
We do not currently use non-essential cookies or tracking technologies for marketing, advertising, analytics or behavioural monitoring purposes.
In particular, we do not currently use:

• Google Analytics or other analytics cookies;

• Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel or other advertising pixels;

• Hotjar or other session-recording or behavioural-analysis tools;

• Remarketing or retargeting technologies;

• Third-party advertising cookies;

• Behavioural advertising technologies;

• Cross-site tracking technologies; or

• Other non-essential tracking scripts.

Our website is therefore designed to operate without the use of cookies for advertising, profiling or marketing purposes.
5. Why We Do Not Use a Cookie Consent Banner
Under applicable UK data protection and electronic communications rules, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, consent is generally not required for cookies that are strictly necessary for the provision of a service or functionality requested by the user.
Because our website currently uses only strictly necessary cookies, where applicable, we do not currently display a cookie consent banner for non-essential cookies.
This position may change if the functionality or technology used on the website changes.
If we introduce analytics, advertising, marketing, personalisation or any other non-essential cookies in the future, we will review our legal obligations and, where required, obtain your consent before placing those cookies on your device.
6. Third-Party Services
We aim to minimise our reliance on third-party services that place cookies or use similar tracking technologies.
Although the website does not currently use third-party advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, certain technical services used to operate, secure or maintain a website may, depending on their configuration, use strictly necessary technologies.
Where this occurs, such technologies will only be used where necessary for legitimate technical or operational purposes and in accordance with applicable law.
We do not permit third parties to use our website to place non-essential advertising or behavioural tracking cookies without the appropriate legal basis and, where required, your consent.
7. Managing and Deleting Cookies
You can manage, block or delete cookies through the settings of your internet browser.
Most modern browsers allow you to:

• View cookies stored on your device;

• Delete existing cookies;

• Block some or all cookies;

• Allow cookies only from selected websites; and

• Receive notifications before cookies are placed.

The exact method for managing cookies will depend on the browser and device you use.
Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect the operation of certain parts of the website. In particular, functionality such as submitting an enquiry or contact form may not operate correctly if essential cookies are disabled.
8. Changes to Our Use of Cookies
We may change the technologies and services used on this website from time to time.
If our use of cookies changes, we will review this Cookie Policy and update it where necessary.
If we introduce any cookies or similar technologies that require user consent under applicable law, we will implement an appropriate consent mechanism before such technologies are used, where required.
We recommend checking this page periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes.
9. Relationship with Our Privacy Policy
Cookies may involve the processing of information relating to an identifiable or potentially identifiable individual.
Where applicable, information collected through cookies or similar technologies will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Our Privacy Policy provides further information about:

• The types of personal information we may collect;

• How and why we use personal information;

• How information is stored and protected;

• Your rights in relation to your personal information; and

• How you can contact us regarding privacy matters.

10. Legal Basis and Applicable Regulations
Our use of cookies is intended to comply with applicable UK privacy and electronic communications legislation, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), where applicable.
Strictly necessary cookies may generally be used without obtaining consent where they are necessary to provide a service or functionality specifically requested by the user or where they are otherwise permitted under applicable law.
Where consent is legally required for any future cookies or similar technologies, we will obtain that consent before placing or activating the relevant technologies.
