Cookie Policy
Effective date: 1 January 2027 · Last updated: 1 January 2027
This policy explains how AIZAINOS LTD (company number 16450844) uses cookies and similar technologies on [domain] and in the AIZAINOS platform, and how you control them. It follows regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and ICO guidance on storage and access technologies.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags and software development kits (SDKs). We call them all “cookies” in this policy.
2. The four types we use
Type | What it does | Your choice |
|---|---|---|
Strictly necessary | Login, security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices | Always on — the site cannot work without them |
Appearance and functionality | Remembers language, theme, layout and display preferences | On by default; you can switch them off at any time |
Statistics | Counts visits and measures how pages perform, so we can improve the site; data is not used for advertising or shared to build profiles | On by default; you can switch them off at any time |
Advertising and marketing | Measures campaigns and shows AIZAINOS ads on other sites | Off until you say yes |
Under UK law, as amended in 2026, appearance and statistics cookies may be set without prior consent, provided we tell you clearly about them and give you a simple way to object. Advertising cookies still need your consent, and we never set them until you give it.
3. Cookies we set
Name | Provider | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|---|
[aiz_session] | AIZAINOS | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in | End of session |
[aiz_csrf] | AIZAINOS | Strictly necessary | Protects forms from cross-site attacks | End of session |

Drafting note: replace this table with the output of a cookie scan of the live site before publishing, and rescan every quarter.
4. How to manage your choices
- Cookie settings — click “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page to accept, reject or change each type at any time. Rejecting is as easy as accepting.
- Browser controls — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop parts of the site working.
- Global Privacy Control — if your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a refusal of advertising cookies.
Withdrawing a choice takes effect from that moment; it does not affect what happened before.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by our providers, such as our analytics and advertising partners. They process the data under their own privacy policies and, where they act as our processors, under contract with us. See our Privacy Policy for the list of providers and international transfer safeguards.
6. Cookies inside the AIZAINOS platform
Inside the logged-in platform we use only strictly necessary, appearance and statistics cookies. We do not place advertising cookies in the platform.
If our customers use AIZAINOS tracking scripts or forms on their own websites, they are responsible for getting any consent needed from their visitors and for describing those cookies in their own cookie policy.
7. Changes and contact
We will update this policy when the cookies we use change, and ask for your choice again if we add a new purpose that needs consent. Questions: [privacy@domain] or AIZAINOS LTD, The Club House, 304 Anchor Road, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent ST3 5DN.
