This Cookie Policy explains how Gifted Accountants and Business Advisors ("Gifted Accountants", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit giftedaccountants.com.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Notice and Data Protection Statement and Terms of Business.
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on, or accessed from, your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
They can be used to:
keep our website secure and functioning properly;
remember your preferences;
maintain website sessions;
understand how visitors use our website;
improve website performance and user experience; and
support analytics and marketing activities.
References to cookies in this policy may also include similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags, scripts and web beacons.
Our website may use the following categories of cookies:
These are required for the website to operate properly, including security, session management, form submissions and remembering your cookie choices. Where legally permitted, these may operate without your prior consent.
These help remember settings and preferences and improve how the website works for you.
These help us understand how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited, website performance and general navigation patterns. Where consent is legally required, these cookies will only operate after you have accepted them.
Certain limited statistical technologies may operate without consent where permitted by UK law and appropriate safeguards are applied.
These may be used to measure advertising campaigns, create audiences, personalise advertising or understand whether advertising has resulted in a website visit. Where required by law, these will only operate with your consent.
Our website may use services provided by third parties, such as booking systems, maps, forms, videos, social-media features or other embedded functionality. These providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
When required, you will be given the opportunity to:
accept optional cookies;
reject optional cookies;
select particular cookie categories; and
change or withdraw your preferences later.
We will not treat simply visiting, scrolling through or continuing to use our website as consent where positive consent is legally required.
Rejecting optional cookies will not normally prevent you from accessing the ordinary content of our website, although certain optional features may work differently.
Where available, you can manage your cookie choices through our website's Cookie Preference Centre.
The Preference Centre may provide details such as:
cookie name;
provider;
purpose;
category; and
duration.
Because the technologies used on our website may change over time, the Cookie Preference Centre should be treated as the most current operational record of cookies used on the website.
Some cookies are session cookies and are normally deleted when you close your browser.
Others are persistent cookies and may remain on your device for a specified period unless you delete them earlier.
Cookie duration will depend on the purpose of the cookie and the configuration used by us or the relevant third-party provider.
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings.
You may also be able to:
block third-party cookies;
prevent cookies from particular websites;
automatically clear cookies; or
use private or incognito browsing.
Blocking all cookies may affect some website functionality.
Cookie choices may also be specific to a particular browser or device, so you may need to update your preferences separately on different devices.
Some cookie technologies may collect information such as:
IP address;
browser and device information;
online identifiers;
website activity;
referral information; and
approximate location derived from technical information.
Where this information constitutes personal data, we will process it in accordance with applicable UK data-protection legislation.
Some third-party providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Further information about how we handle personal information and international transfers is contained in our Privacy Notice and Data Protection Statement.
Our use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by applicable UK privacy and data-protection legislation, including:
the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR);
the UK General Data Protection Regulation;
the Data Protection Act 2018; and
the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
Where PECR requires consent for a particular cookie or technology, we will not rely solely on another UK GDPR lawful basis to avoid that consent requirement.
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in:
legislation or regulatory guidance;
our website;
technology providers;
analytics or marketing services; or
our business operations.
The latest version will be available on our website and the date above will show when the policy was last materially reviewed.
