Cookie Policy – Plymouth Digital Services

This Cookie Policy was last updated on 22 February 2026 and applies to citizens and legal permanent residents of the United Kingdom.

  1. Introduction
    Our website, https://plymouthdigitalservices.com (“the website”), uses cookies and similar technologies. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies”. Some cookies are set by Plymouth Digital Services. Others are set by third parties whose services appear on our website, such as Google and YouTube.

This policy explains what cookies are, what we use them for, and how you can manage your choices.

  1. What are cookies?
    Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device when you visit. Your browser stores them and may send them back to the website (or to the relevant third party) on a later visit. Cookies help websites remember settings, improve performance, and understand how people use a site.

  2. What are scripts?
    Scripts are pieces of code that make parts of the website work properly and interactively. Scripts can run on our server or on your device.

  3. What is a web beacon?
    A web beacon (also called a pixel tag) is a small, usually invisible image or snippet of code used to measure activity on a website, such as page views or interactions. These are often used alongside cookies.

  4. Types of cookies we use
    5.1 Essential (technical/functional) cookies
    These cookies are required for the website to work properly. They help with core functions such as basic navigation, security, and remembering essential preferences. We may set essential cookies without asking for consent because the site cannot run properly without them.

5.2 Analytics (statistics) cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how the site performs. This helps us improve the site. Analytics cookies and similar technologies are optional. We will only use them if you consent.

5.3 Marketing/tracking cookies
Marketing or tracking cookies are used to build profiles or track users across websites for advertising purposes. We do not need marketing cookies for the website to function. If we use any marketing/tracking cookies now or in future, we will only use them if you consent.

  1. Cookies set by third parties
    Some features on our website may load content from third parties, which can set cookies or collect usage data. This may include:

Google Analytics (analytics measurement)
Google Maps (embedded maps)
YouTube (embedded videos)

Where possible, we aim to load these features in a way that respects your consent choices. For example, some embeds may require you to click to load content if you have not consented to non-essential cookies.

  1. Consent and managing your choices
    When you visit the website for the first time, we show a cookie notice that lets you choose which optional cookies to allow. Your choices can usually be changed at any time by reopening the cookie settings on the website.

If you do not consent to optional cookies, some features may be limited. For example, embedded maps or videos may not load until you choose to enable them.

Withdrawing consent
You can change your mind at any time by updating your cookie settings (if available on the site) and by clearing cookies in your browser.

  1. Enabling, disabling, and deleting cookies
    You can use your browser settings to delete cookies automatically or manually. You can also block cookies or set your browser to warn you before a cookie is stored.

If you block all cookies, parts of the website may not work as intended. If you delete cookies, you may need to set your preferences again the next time you visit.

  1. Your rights relating to personal data
    Cookies can involve personal data, for example where they relate to identifiable online identifiers. You have rights under UK data protection law, including:

The right to be informed about how your personal data is used.
The right of access to personal data we hold about you.
The right to have inaccurate personal data corrected.
The right to request deletion of personal data in certain situations.
