Cookie Policy
How Sussex Technology Solutions uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites work properly, remember preferences, and — with your consent — understand how visitors use the site.
2. Who is responsible?
This website is operated by Sussex Technology Solutions (“STS”, “we”, “us”). We are the data controller for personal data collected through cookies, except where third-party services act as separate controllers (for example, Google when fonts are loaded).
For privacy questions, contact us via our contact form or see our Privacy Policy.
3. How we comply with UK law
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, we:
- use essential cookies without consent because they are strictly necessary;
- ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies;
- let you accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies;
- make it as easy to withdraw consent as to give it.
You can change your choices at any time using Cookie settings.
4. Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
These are required for the website and client portal to work. They include cookies that keep you signed in to the portal, protect the site, and remember your cookie choices. They cannot be turned off through our cookie banner.
Functional cookies
These improve how the site looks and works — for example, loading web fonts so pages display correctly. We only use these if you consent. Some functional services are provided by third parties (such as Google Fonts), and your browser may share technical information with them when those features are enabled.
Analytics cookies
We do not currently use analytics cookies. If we add them in future to understand how visitors use the site, we will update this policy and only enable them when you consent.
Marketing cookies
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies.
5. Managing cookies
You can update your preferences at any time using Cookie settings in the footer of this site.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site — including the client portal — from working correctly.
Further guidance is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
