# WEBSITE COOKIE POLICY

Date: 1 October 2029

Parties: Harbour & Finch Limited

## 1. Purpose of this policy

Harbour & Finch Limited (Company No. 14117720), 55 Cornmarket Street, Oxford OX1 3HA, operates harbourfinch.co.uk and this policy explains its use of cookies and similar technologies. It should be read with the privacy notice.

## 2. Scope and definitions

Strictly necessary cookies include hf_session, which expires when the browser closes and maintains login security; hf_csrf, which expires at session end and prevents request forgery; and hf_consent, which lasts 12 months and stores cookie choices. They are used without consent where PECR permits.

## 3. Information collected

With consent, Plausible Analytics stores an anonymous session identifier for 30 days to measure pages and errors. We do not use analytics to make decisions about individuals, and the service provider receives limited technical data under a written arrangement.

## 4. Consent and controls

Marketing cookies are off by default. If a visitor opts in, the site may load LinkedIn Insight Tag for campaign measurement for up to 30 days; it is not loaded on checkout pages. The banner records a granular choice rather than bundling marketing with necessary cookies.

## 5. Retention and security

Visitors can accept, reject or change optional cookies through “Cookie settings” in the footer. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully, but optional scripts are blocked on the next page load and consent records are retained for 12 months.

## 6. Rights and enquiries

Cookie identifiers and preference records are retained only for the stated period, access is restricted, and any international transfer is assessed under UK GDPR Chapter V. The policy does not replace information about other personal data or statutory rights.

## 7. Review and publication

Harbour & Finch reviews this policy each October and after material technology or law changes. Questions go to privacy@harbourfinch.co.uk; complaints may be made to the Information Commissioner's Office. England and Wales law applies to this policy.
