Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Solvant ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit solvant.io (the "Website"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal data more generally.
We use cookies in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR. Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent, which you provide through our cookie banner and can change at any time.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. "Similar technologies" include pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits (SDKs) that perform comparable functions.
- First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, such as an analytics or advertising provider.
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
3.1 Strictly necessary
These are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as saving your cookie preference. You can set your browser to block these, but some parts of the site will not then work.
3.2 Performance and analytics
These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular. All information these cookies collect is aggregated. These are only ever set with your consent.
3.3 Functional
These enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These are only ever set with your consent.
3.4 Marketing
These may be set through our site by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. They do not store directly identifying information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. These are only ever set with your consent.
4. Cookies We Use
The table below reflects what our Website actually sets today. We keep it up to date as our tooling changes.
| Name | Provider | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| gdpr_consent (browser local storage, not a cookie) | Solvant | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies, so we don't ask you again on every visit | Persists until you clear this site's data in your browser |
We do not currently set any analytics, functional, or marketing cookies. If we introduce tools such as website analytics in future, we will update this table before they go live and, where required by law, ask for your consent first.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. To change your preference afterwards, clear this site's data in your browser settings and reload the page — you'll be shown the banner again.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser; please consult your browser's help documentation. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect your experience and some features may not work.
To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no consistent industry standard for responding to DNT signals, and our Website does not currently respond to them. We do, however, honour the choices you make through our cookie banner.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when it was last revised.
