Cookie Policy
Oakstead Advisory Limited
Company number 17311556
Effective date 14 July 2026
This policy explains how Oakstead Advisory Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on https://oaksteadadvisory.co.uk/. It should be read with our Privacy Notice.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small data files stored on a computer, telephone or other device when a website is visited. Similar technologies can include local storage, scripts, tags and pixels. They can help a website operate securely, remember choices and provide information about how the website is used.
2. Our approach
We use necessary technologies where they are required for the website to function, remain secure, manage forms or remember your cookie choices. Where consent is required, nonessential technologies should not be activated unless you choose to accept them.
The website cookie banner or cookie settings tool should show the categories available and, where supported, the current cookies or providers in use.
3. Categories of cookies

These may be used without consent where they are genuinely necessary. |
For the browsing session or for a limited period needed to remember choices. |
|

Remember optional preferences or enable additional website features. |
Used only with consent where required. |
Depends on the feature and provider. |

Analytics and performance |
Help us understand visits, page use, errors and website performance so that we can improve the site. |
Used only with consent unless a lawful exception clearly applies and is implemented correctly. |
Depends on the analytics configuration and provider. |

Advertising and targeting |
Measure campaigns or tailor advertising across websites. |
Used only with consent. |
Depends on the provider. Oakstead does not intend to use these unless they are deliberately introduced. |
|
Embedded content |
Enable content or tools supplied by another organisation, such as maps, video, scheduling or social media features. |
May require consent before the content or tool is loaded. |
Set by the relevant provider. |
4. Cookies currently used
The exact cookies used can change when the website platform, security settings, forms, analytics or other features are updated. The cookie settings tool on the website should provide the most current available information about active categories and providers.
At the effective date of this policy, Oakstead does not intend to use advertising cookies. Analytics, functional or embedded content technologies should be activated only where they are configured and the required consent has been obtained.
5. Your choices
When the cookie banner is shown, you should be able to:
- Accept the available nonessential cookies.
- Reject nonessential cookies.
- Choose between available categories.
- Review or change your preferences later through the cookie settings control, where provided.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal. Changing preferences will normally affect future use of the relevant technologies.
6. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their privacy settings. Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of the website, including security features, forms and saved preferences. Browser settings are separate from the choices recorded through our cookie banner.
7. Third party services and external links
Some website functions may be provided by third parties. If an external tool or embedded service is enabled, that provider may use its own cookies or similar technologies. We aim to prevent nonessential third party technologies from loading before the required consent is given.
Links that take you away from our website are governed by the privacy and cookie practices of the external website.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when website features, providers or legal requirements change. The current version will be published on our website with its effective date.
