Cookie Policy Survival Equipment Services Ltd

Survival Equipment Services Ltd ("SES", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website (the "Site").

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, remember preferences, and gather anonymised data to improve the Site.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website — or a third-party service — to recognise your device and store or retrieve information about your preferences or past actions.

We also use similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage (collectively referred to as "cookies" here).

Types of cookies we use

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core features like page navigation and secure access.

    • No consent is required under UK law (PECR).

    • Examples: Session management, security tokens, Squarespace platform cookies for site operation.

    • Duration: Mostly session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or short-term.

  • Performance / Analytics Cookies These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — for example, which pages are visited most often and how users navigate. The data is anonymised and aggregated.

    • We use Google Analytics (provided by Google Ireland Limited) to collect anonymised tracking data such as page views, visitor numbers, and user journeys (with IP addresses anonymised).

    • Purpose: To analyse Site performance and make improvements.

    • Duration: Varies — some persist for up to 2 years (e.g., _ga cookie).

    • Third-party: Yes. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

    • Consent: Required (non-essential).

  • Functional / Preference Cookies (if applicable) These remember choices you make to provide a more personalised experience (e.g., language preferences or cookie consent settings).

    • Duration: Up to 1 year or until you clear them.

    • Consent: Required.

  • Targeting / Advertising Cookies We do not currently use cookies for targeted advertising or personalised marketing. If we add such features in the future (e.g., social media pixels or remarketing), we will update this policy and seek your consent.

We do not use cookies for automated profiling or decisions that produce legal effects.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services we integrate with (primarily Google Analytics via Squarespace). These providers may collect and process data according to their own policies. We select reputable partners that align with UK/EU data protection standards.

For the most accurate, up-to-date list of cookies active on the Site (including names, purposes, durations, and providers), refer to the cookie banner that appears on your first visit — it scans and displays them dynamically.

How we obtain and manage your consent

  • On your first visit (or if consent has expired), a cookie banner will appear.

  • You can Accept All, Reject All, or manage preferences (e.g., allow analytics cookies or not).

  • Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous — we do not use pre-ticked boxes or imply consent through continued browsing.

  • You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the cookie settings link (available in the banner or footer) — it is as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

  • If you reject non-essential cookies, the Site will continue to function normally using only essential cookies.

How to manage or disable cookies

In addition to our banner:

  • Adjust settings in your web browser to block cookies, delete existing ones, or enable "Do Not Track". Instructions vary by browser — consult your browser's Help section or visit www.aboutcookies.org for guidance.

  • For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout Note: Disabling cookies may limit some Site functionality or personalisation.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Check the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the Site after significant changes means you accept the updated policy.
