1. Introduction
This cookie policy explains how Constructive-IT Limited ("Constructive-IT," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.constructive-it.co.uk.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data more broadly under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Our use of cookies and similar technologies is also governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use a site.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which stores information in your browser in a similar way to cookies. In this policy, references to "cookies" include these similar technologies unless we say otherwise.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
- First-party cookies — set by the website you are visiting (Constructive-IT).
- Third-party cookies — set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, such as an embedded service provider.
3. How We Use Cookies
We group cookies and similar technologies into the following categories:
Strictly necessary
These are essential for the website to function and to store your cookie consent choice. They do not require consent under PECR because they are necessary to provide a service you have requested or to comply with your communication preferences.
Functional (non-essential)
These would enable enhanced functionality or personalisation. We do not currently use functional non-essential cookies on this website.
Analytics (non-essential)
These would help us understand how visitors use our website. We do not currently deploy third-party analytics cookies on this website, even if you accept cookies through our banner.
Advertising (non-essential)
These would be used to deliver or measure advertising. We do not currently use advertising cookies on this website.
Third-party embedded content
Some pages include content supplied by third parties — for example, an embedded Google Map on our contact page. When that content loads, the third party may set or read its own cookies or process technical data such as your IP address. We describe these below.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies We Use
The table below lists the cookies and similar technologies we use or that may be set when you use our website. This reflects our current setup as of the date at the top of this page.
If we introduce additional cookies or similar technologies in future — for example, analytics or marketing tools — we will update this policy and our cookie banner before or at the time they are enabled, and we will only use non-essential technologies where we have obtained your consent.
5. Your Consent Choices
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner offering you the choice to accept or decline non-essential cookies and similar technologies.
- Accept — records your consent to non-essential cookies and similar technologies. At present, no additional third-party analytics or advertising cookies are loaded as a result.
- Decline — records your choice to refuse non-essential cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary technologies will still be used so the site can function and remember your choice.
Your choice is stored locally in your browser under site_shell_consent. We do not use
this storage to track you across other websites.
6. How to Manage or Delete Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner — use Accept or Decline when first prompted. To change your choice later, clear site data for our website in your browser, which will reset the banner.
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See your browser's help section for instructions.
- Third-party opt-outs — for Google services, see Google's cookie information and Google Ads Settings where applicable.
Blocking or deleting strictly necessary technologies may affect how our website works — for example, we may show the cookie banner again on each visit if your consent record is cleared.

7. Third-Party Cookies and Links
Third parties may set cookies when their content is embedded on our site or when you follow links to external websites. We do not control third-party cookies. Please review the relevant third party's privacy and cookie information:

8. Personal Data and Your Rights
Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal data under UK GDPR. Our Privacy Policy explains the lawful bases we rely on, how long we retain data, who we share it with, and your rights — including access, erasure, objection, and the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy when we change how our website uses cookies or when the law changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Please check this page periodically for updates.
