This policy explains how xuplin uses cookies and similar storage technologies on xuplin.com: which categories are involved, how your choice is recorded in the browser and how it can be changed later.
What cookies and similar technologies are
A cookie is a short text file that the site you are visiting places in your browser; it lets the site remember a setting or a decision you have made. Browsers provide similar mechanisms, in particular local storage, which keeps small entries until they are removed. This policy treats them in the same way.
Categories used on this website
Only a few entries are needed to run this website, which presents information and contact details rather than an account area or an online shop. Strictly necessary entries keep the pages usable and secure and include any value that remembers a decision about a cookie notice; for them no consent is required under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
One of these entries is a cookie set by the server that delivers the pages. It holds a random identifier, no name or contact details, and lets the server recognise a browser that comes back, so that one visit is handled as one and automated misuse can be turned away. It is renewed with each visit and expires 30 days after the last one.
Tracking, profiling and data protection
This website uses no advertising cookies, no marketing pixels and no trackers that follow you to other sites, and nothing about your visit is sold or passed on for advertising. Where an entry can be linked to a person, our privacy policy explains the grounds, the storage periods and your rights.
Consent and the cookie notice
If this website shows a cookie notice, it appears on your first visit with one button to agree and one to decline. Your answer is then kept as a single value in the local storage of that browser (localStorage); the notice itself sets no cookie. In another browser, on another device or where storage is blocked, it is shown again.
Storage periods
Some entries exist only while the browser window is open; others are given a defined lifetime so that a preference survives until the next visit. An answer recorded by a cookie notice is not set to expire and remains until you delete it or your browser clears it.
Changing your choice later
Changing your mind is simple: remove the stored data of this website in your browser settings and reload a page, and the previous answer is replaced by a new one the next time you are asked. Browsers also let you manage cookies for one site or for all of them, usually in their privacy settings.
Content embedded from other providers
We do not embed services from other providers that would set cookies of their own. If a map, a video or a comparable element were added later, its provider could place entries on your device as soon as it loads, and this policy would be updated before such content goes live.
Updates to this policy and questions
Whenever the technology behind xuplin.com changes or new rules require it, this policy is updated, and the current version, with the date of its last revision, is always the one published here. If something is unclear, write to hello@xuplin.com or call 01823 442917.
