1. About This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Pathway to Protection CIC uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
Because our website supports people who may be experiencing domestic abuse, we aim to minimise unnecessary tracking and use privacy-conscious technologies wherever reasonably possible.
Please also read our Privacy Policy for information about how we process personal information.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your device.
They can be used for purposes such as remembering preferences, enabling website functionality, understanding how a website is used and, on some websites, delivering personalised advertising.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others remain for a specified period.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly or provide functionality you request.
They may support features such as:
- Security;
- Cookie preference management;
- Website administration; and
- Essential accessibility or technical functions.
Where legally permitted, strictly necessary cookies may operate without prior consent because the requested service cannot function properly without them.
Functional Cookies
These may remember choices you make, such as accessibility or display preferences.
Where consent is legally required, these cookies will not be activated until you choose to allow them.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics technologies can help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are most frequently visited.
Where these technologies require consent, they will remain disabled until consent has been provided.
Where possible, we aim to configure analytics in a privacy-conscious manner and minimise the personal information collected.
Third-Party Content
Some pages may contain content provided by third parties, such as embedded videos, maps or other external services.
Those providers may attempt to set cookies or collect information.
Where consent is required, such content should remain blocked until the relevant consent has been provided.
4. Cookies Used on This Website
The exact cookies used on the website should be displayed through our cookie-consent system and updated whenever website technologies change.
The cookie register should identify:
- Cookie name;
- Provider;
- Purpose;
- Category;
- Duration; and
- Whether the cookie is first-party or third-party.
Website administrator: this section should be populated from a live cookie audit rather than using generic placeholder cookie names.
5. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit the website, you may be presented with controls allowing you to accept or reject optional cookies.
Where applicable, you can change your preferences later using the Cookie Settings link available on the website.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
Deleting cookies may remove previously stored preferences.
6. Safety and Browsing History
If you are concerned that someone may monitor your internet use, please be aware that changing cookie preferences or deleting website cookies does not necessarily remove all evidence that a website has been visited.
Browser history, downloads, saved passwords, synced browsing data, network records or monitoring software may retain information separately.
Our Quick Exit feature is designed to help you leave the website quickly, but it cannot erase all browsing history or guarantee that your visit cannot be discovered.
Please visit our Digital Safety information for further guidance.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the technologies used on our website change or when legal requirements are updated.
The latest version will be available on this page.
