Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our website, help us understand how our site is used, and to meet legal obligations under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
This Cookie Policy explains:
- what cookies are,
- how Envision Scientific uses them,
- what types of cookies we use,
- and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (stay on your device until they expire or are deleted). Cookies may be “first-party” (set by envisionscientific.com) or “third-party” (set by other services our website uses).
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use four categories of cookies, for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary: to make the website work, keep it secure, and remember the choices you make (including your cookie consent).
- Functional (preferences): to remember your settings and preferences (e.g., language choice, display options) so you don’t have to set them again.
- Analytics & performance: to understand how the website is used, measure page performance, and improve it.
- Marketing: where applicable, to personalise content, deliver relevant advertising, and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.
Under UK GDPR and PECR, cookies that are not strictly necessary require your consent before they are placed on your device. These are the same four categories you can control in our cookie banner.
