Last Updated: 28 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Zeal Wilkes Ltd may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your computer, tablet or smartphone.

They are commonly used to help websites operate correctly, remember user preferences, understand website activity and support particular website features.

Some cookies last only for the duration of a browser session, while others may remain on your device for a defined period.

2. How Cookies May Be Used

The Zeal Wilkes Ltd website may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:

  • Providing essential website functionality
  • Maintaining website security
  • Supporting website forms
  • Remembering preferences
  • Understanding how visitors interact with the website
  • Measuring website performance
  • Identifying technical problems
  • Improving website navigation and content

The precise cookies in use may change as the website and its underlying technology are updated.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for important website functions.

They may support matters such as:

  • Website security
  • Session management
  • Form functionality
  • Network management
  • Basic website operation

Where a cookie is genuinely necessary to provide a service requested by the user, consent may not be required under applicable law.

Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning properly.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may allow a website to remember preferences or provide enhanced functionality.

For example, they may help retain settings selected during a visit.

If these cookies are disabled, some optional website functions may not perform as expected.

5. Analytics Cookies

The website may use analytics technologies to understand general visitor behaviour and website performance.

Analytics information may include:

  • Pages viewed
  • Approximate time spent on pages
  • Browser type
  • Device category
  • Referral source
  • General navigation patterns
  • Technical errors

This information can help us understand which parts of the website are useful and where improvements may be required.

Where consent is required before analytics cookies are placed, those cookies should only operate after appropriate consent has been obtained.

6. Marketing Cookies

If Zeal Wilkes Ltd introduces advertising, remarketing or similar technologies, marketing cookies may be used to measure campaign performance or understand interactions with promotional content.

Where such technologies are non-essential, they should only be activated where appropriate consent has been provided.

The current wording of this policy does not mean that every category of cookie described here is necessarily active at all times.

7. Third-Party Cookies

Some website functions may depend on third-party services.

These could include services used for:

  • Website hosting
  • Embedded media
  • Maps
  • Analytics
  • Social-media functionality
  • Website security
  • Other digital tools

Where a third-party service places its own cookie, that provider may process information according to its own privacy and cookie terms.

Zeal Wilkes Ltd does not control cookies placed directly by independent third parties.

8. Cookie Consent

Where required by applicable law, visitors should be given an opportunity to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies before they are activated.

Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate where they are required for essential website functionality.

Your choices may be stored so the website can remember your preference.

9. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

You can also manage cookies using your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

  • View stored cookies
  • Delete cookies
  • Block particular cookies
  • Block all cookies
  • Receive notifications before cookies are stored

The exact process varies between browsers and devices.

Blocking all cookies may affect website performance or prevent certain features from working correctly.

10. Session and Persistent Cookies

Cookies generally fall into two duration categories.

Session cookies normally remain only while your browser is open and are removed when the session ends.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

Third-party providers determine the duration of cookies that they control.

11. Similar Technologies

Websites may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies.

These can include local storage, tracking pixels or embedded tools.

Where such technologies process personal information or require consent, they should be handled consistently with applicable privacy and electronic-communications requirements.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

  • Website technology changes
  • New services or integrations are introduced
  • Cookie practices change
  • Legal or regulatory requirements change

The latest version will be published on our website with an updated revision date.
