Cookie Policy

This page explains how Cermat uses cookies on its website, what each type does, and how you can manage your preferences at any time.

Last Updated: 22 April 2025

When you visit the Cermat website, small text files called cookies may be stored on your device. They help the site work as expected and allow us to understand how people use it. You are in control of which optional cookies are active, and you can update your choices at any time using the controls below.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit a website. It stores a small amount of data and allows the site to recognise your browser on future visits or remember certain settings.

Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently. Some are necessary for core functions — such as remembering your cookie choices — while others are optional and help us understand how visitors navigate the site.

Cookies do not run programmes on your device or carry viruses. They are simply a way for websites to retain small pieces of information between pages or visits.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always active

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They handle things like remembering your cookie consent choice and managing session continuity. They cannot be disabled.

Examples: cookieConsent (stores your preferences), session security tokens

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These help us understand how visitors move through our site — which pages are viewed most, where people come from, and how long they spend reading. This helps us improve the experience for everyone. No personally identifying information is stored.

Examples: Page view counts, session duration, navigation paths (via Google Analytics)

Marketing Cookies

Optional

These cookies allow us to show relevant information about our programmes to people who have previously visited our site. They do not track sensitive personal information.

Examples: Retargeting identifiers, ad platform reach measurement

Preference Cookies

Optional

These remember your display choices and settings so you do not need to re-select them each visit — for example, language or region preferences.

Examples: Language setting, region preference

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. These services may include:

  • Google Analytics: Provides anonymised data about site usage. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Maps: Used on our contact page to display our location. May set cookies when the map loads.
  • Social media platforms: If you follow links to social media from our site, those platforms may set their own cookies.

Cermat does not control third-party cookies and recommends reviewing the privacy policies of those services for full details.
