Cookie Policy

This Cookie Notice explains how Ellidore (the trading name of HS & T Limited, “Ellidore”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.ellidore.com (the “Site”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Notice, which explains more generally how we handle personal data.

By continuing to use our Site, adjusting your settings via our cookie banner, or otherwise indicating your preferences, you can control which cookies are used, as set out below.

1. 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, work more efficiently, and provide information to the website owner. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, web beacons and local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this notice.

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies — deleted automatically 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 us.
• Third-party cookies — set by a party other than Ellidore, such as an analytics or advertising provider.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on our Site are placed by third parties whose services we use, such as website analytics providers, and, where relevant, social media or advertising platforms integrated into our Site (for example, if we embed content or run a marketing pixel). These third parties may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to collect information about your use of our Site and other websites, and may combine this with information collected elsewhere. We do not control these third-party cookies, and we encourage you to review the relevant third party’s own privacy and cookie policy for more information.

4. Legal basis for using cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis that they are essential to providing the Site and services you request, and do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

All other cookies (functional, analytics, and marketing/advertising) are only set with your consent, which you give or withhold via our cookie banner when you first visit the Site. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time as described in Section 5.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

• Via our cookie banner — When you first visit our Site, you will be shown a cookie banner allowing you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise your preferences by category. You can revisit and change these preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” [insert link/location, e.g. in the website footer].
• Via your browser — Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Because these settings are browser-specific, please refer to your browser’s help function for instructions. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may affect the functionality of our Site.
• Opting out of third-party advertising cookies — You can also manage advertising cookies through industry tools such as Your Online Choices (youronlinechoices.eu) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info), where applicable.

6. How long do cookies last?

This depends on the specific cookie — session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period (typically ranging from 30 days to 24 months) or until you delete them. Specific durations are set out in the cookie list referenced in Section 2.

7. Changes to this notice

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. We will post any updates on this page and update the “last updated” date above.

This notice is provided for use on the Ellidore website and has been drafted to reflect the general requirements of PECR and UK GDPR based on the information available. It has not been reviewed by qualified legal counsel. Before publishing, it should be checked against the actual cookies and third-party technologies deployed on www.ellidore.com (ideally via a cookie audit/scan) and integrated with a working consent management platform so that non-essential cookies are not set until consent is given. Bracketed placeholders must be completed before this notice goes live.
