Cookie
policy.
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones our website at protondigital.co.uk uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
01What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or phone when you visit. They let the website remember things between pages and visits — for example, that you are signed in. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies; cookies set by other companies are called third-party cookies.
02The cookies we use
We keep this simple: our website uses strictly necessary, first-party cookies only. They exist so the client portal can work — there is no tracking involved. Because these cookies are essential, UK law does not require us to ask for consent to set them, which is why you will not see a cookie banner on our website.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in session cookies | Set when you sign in to the client portal. They keep you securely signed in as you move between pages, and are how the website knows which account is yours. | They refresh while you use the portal and expire after a period of inactivity, or when you sign out. |
If you only browse the public pages of our website and never sign in, the website works without needing to store anything meaningful on your device.
03What we don't use
- No analytics cookies. We do not currently run visitor analytics on this website.
- No advertising or social media cookies. We do not show ads, and we do not let advertising networks or social platforms track you here.
- No cross-site tracking. We do not follow you around the internet, and we do not sell or share browsing data with anyone.
If we ever introduce analytics or any other non-essential cookies, we will update this policy first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent through a cookie banner before any such cookies are set.
04Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings — every major browser lets you block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies already stored. The help pages for your browser will show you how.
One thing to know: if you block or delete our sign-in cookies, the client portal cannot keep you signed in, so you will not be able to use it. The public pages of the website will still work normally.
05Changes to this policy
We keep this policy under review and will update the version number and effective date at the top of this page whenever it changes.
