01 · About this policy

Who this policy applies to

This Cookie Policy applies to the PistonTraders website at www.pistontraders.co.uk and related web-based services operated by [LIBLOGIC LTD] ("PistonTraders", "we", "us" or "our").

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal information more generally.

References to "cookies" in this policy include cookies and, where relevant, other technologies that store information on or access information from your device.

02 · Cookies

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your browser or device. Cookies can help a website recognise a browser, maintain a logged-in session, remember a setting, protect against misuse or understand how the website is being used.

Some cookies last only for the duration of a browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain for a defined period or until you delete them.

First-party cookies are set by PistonTraders. Third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose service or technology is used on a PistonTraders page.
03 · Similar technologies

What else is covered?

The rules are not limited to traditional browser cookies. Depending on how the Service is configured, similar technologies may include:

  • browser local storage or session storage;
  • tracking or measurement pixels;
  • scripts and tags;
  • device or browser identifiers;
  • link-decoration or navigational measurement technologies; and
  • other technologies that store information on or access information from a user's device.

Where we use any such technology, the same principles in this policy apply where relevant.

04 · Categories

How we classify technologies

Strictly necessary

These technologies are essential to provide a service you request or to support functions that cannot reasonably operate without them, such as login sessions, security controls or certain load-balancing functions. Where a legal exception applies, they may be used without consent.

Preferences and appearance

These may remember choices about how a service appears or behaves. Depending on the precise purpose and legal requirements, they may be used under an applicable exception or may require consent.

Analytics and statistical measurement

These help us understand how people use PistonTraders and identify ways to improve the Service. Some narrowly defined statistical uses may fall within a legal exception if all required conditions are met. Other analytics technologies require consent before they are used.

Advertising or behavioural tracking

These technologies may be used to build profiles, personalise advertising or track people across services. PistonTraders will not use these technologies without the consent or other permission required by applicable law.

05 · Cookie register

Cookies and technologies currently used

Replace the example and placeholder rows below with a verified list from your production website. Include non-cookie storage technologies where relevant.

consentcookie PistonTraders Stores the user's cookie or storage-technology choices so those preferences can be respected. Necessary / preference 3 months
06 · Consent & exceptions

When we ask for your consent

Where consent is legally required, we will not set or use the relevant non-essential technology until you have made an appropriate choice. Consent should be freely given, specific, informed and indicated through a clear positive action.

You should be able to reject non-essential technologies as well as accept them, and you can change your preferences later using the cookie settings mechanism provided on the Service.

Certain uses may not require consent where a specific legal exception applies. Depending on the technology and purpose, this can include technologies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user and certain other limited uses permitted by law.

An exception is purpose-specific. We should only rely on an exception where the actual technology and its use meet every relevant condition. If a technology is used for an additional purpose outside the exception, consent may still be required for that additional use.
07 · Analytics

Statistical measurement and analytics

We may use analytics or statistical technologies to understand how the Service is used and to improve PistonTraders.

UK law permits a limited statistical-purpose exception in certain circumstances. Where we rely on that exception, the relevant technology must be used solely for qualifying statistical purposes aimed at improving the service or website, and we must meet the other legal conditions that apply, including providing clear information and an appropriate simple means to object.

Where an analytics technology or its use does not satisfy the requirements of an applicable exception, we will seek consent before using it where the law requires.

Our current analytics setup is: [DESCRIBE ACTUAL ANALYTICS PROVIDER, CONFIGURATION, PURPOSE AND WHETHER YOU RELY ON CONSENT OR AN EXCEPTION].

08 · Third parties

Third-party technologies

Some features may rely on technology provided by third parties, such as hosting, security, analytics, embedded content or other service providers. A third party may set or access information on your device where its technology is loaded.

PistonTraders currently does not utilise any third party cookies.

09 · Your choices

How to manage cookie preferences

Where our site uses technologies that are subject to user choice, you can use our cookie controls to accept, reject or adjust the relevant categories.

Open cookie settings

Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing based on valid consent unlawful. Some changes may take effect only after you refresh the page or begin a new browsing session.

10 · Browser controls

Managing cookies through your browser

Most web browsers allow you to see, delete or block cookies. Browser controls vary, so consult the help or settings section of your browser for current instructions.

Blocking all cookies may affect features that rely on essential session, security or preference technologies. Deleting cookies may also remove choices previously stored on your device.

Browser controls may not manage every type of storage or access technology. Where PistonTraders provides dedicated cookie or privacy controls, you should use those controls as well.

11 · Duration

How long cookies last

Session technologies normally expire when the relevant browsing session ends. Persistent technologies remain for a defined period unless you delete them earlier.

The specific duration of each technology should be listed in the cookie register above. We aim to keep durations proportionate to the purpose for which the technology is used and review our use periodically.

12 · Personal information

When cookie data is personal data

Information obtained through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information, for example where it is linked to an account, IP address, device identifier or other information relating to an identifiable person.

Where we process personal information, our Privacy Policy explains the purposes, lawful bases, retention, sharing arrangements and your data protection rights.

13 · Updates

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy when our technology, providers or legal obligations change. The current version will be published on this page with its "Last updated" date.

We may ask you to make a fresh choice where required, including where the purposes for which non-essential technologies are used materially change.
