3. Regulatory Framework

The use of cookies within the United Kingdom is regulated primarily under PECR alongside UK GDPR requirements.

Under these regulations:

Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation or security of a website may be used without prior consent.
Cookies used for analytics, advertising, or behavioural tracking require informed user consent before activation.

Privat Security applies these legal standards when determining which technologies are deployed on this Website.

4. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small data files stored on a user’s computer, tablet, or mobile device when visiting a website.

Similar technologies may include:

session identifiers;
authentication tokens;
embedded scripts;
local browser storage;
server-side identifiers;
security monitoring technologies.

These technologies assist websites in operating securely and efficiently.

Cookies may be classified as:

Session Cookies — automatically deleted when the browser session ends; or
Persistent Cookies — retained for a defined operational period.

5. Categories of Cookies

5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the secure operation of the Website.

They enable:

secure navigation between pages;
protection against automated attacks and malicious traffic;
maintenance of session integrity;
prevention of fraudulent or unauthorised activity;
system stability and load balancing;
delivery of requested website services.

Without these cookies, the Website may not function correctly.

Consent is not required for these cookies under PECR.

5.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow websites to remember technical preferences or usability selections.

Privat Security does not intentionally deploy optional functional cookies beyond those required for essential service delivery.

5.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies measure website usage patterns to improve performance or user experience.

Privat Security does not currently use analytics technologies, including but not limited to:

Google Analytics;
visitor behaviour monitoring tools;
heat-mapping software;
performance tracking platforms.

5.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are typically used to track users across websites for advertising or profiling purposes.

Privat Security does not deploy advertising, remarketing, profiling, or behavioural tracking cookies.

6. Essential Infrastructure and Security Technologies

The Website is supported through professionally managed hosting, network delivery, and cybersecurity infrastructure providers.

Such providers may automatically utilise technical cookies or similar mechanisms strictly necessary for:

maintaining website availability;
routing internet traffic securely;
mitigating denial-of-service attacks;
detecting malicious activity;
safeguarding system integrity;
ensuring reliable content delivery.

These technologies operate solely for operational and security purposes and are not used to profile visitors or deliver advertising.

7. Third-Party Embedded Services

Certain Website features may incorporate externally provided services such as mapping tools, video content, or communication functionality.

Where such services are accessed, the relevant provider may place technical cookies required for functionality.

Privat Security seeks to minimise reliance on third-party technologies and only implements such services where operationally necessary or beneficial to users.

Third-party providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.

8. Consent Requirements

Because the Website currently uses only strictly necessary cookies, user consent via a cookie banner is not required under applicable regulations.

Should non-essential cookies or tracking technologies be introduced in future, Privat Security will implement an appropriate consent mechanism prior to their activation.

9. Managing Cookies

Users may control cookies through browser settings.

Most browsers allow users to:

delete stored cookies;
block cookies entirely;
restrict third-party cookies;
receive notifications before cookies are stored.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect Website functionality or availability.

10. Relationship Between Cookies and Personal Data

Where cookie technologies involve the processing of information capable of identifying an individual, such processing is conducted in accordance with applicable data protection law and our Privacy Policy.

11. Security Considerations

As a provider of protective security services, Privat Security prioritises secure digital operations.

Technical cookies and similar mechanisms may therefore be used as part of defensive cybersecurity measures intended to:

detect misuse of the Website;
prevent unauthorised access attempts;
maintain operational resilience;
protect users and infrastructure from malicious activity.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Privat Security may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect:

technological developments;
operational changes;
regulatory updates; or
introduction of new Website functionality.

The latest version will always be published on this page with an updated revision date.
