Cookie Policy

Effective Date: January 19, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Storey (storey.org.uk) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing any non-essential cookies or using non-essential tracking.

1. What are cookies? Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies are set by us (“first-party cookies”) and some are set by other companies (“third-party cookies”). Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain for a defined period).
2. Similar technologies (local storage) In addition to cookies, the Storey platform may use browser storage such as localStorage to help the web app function. Local storage is stored in your browser and is not sent automatically with every request in the same way as cookies. We use local storage to support user journeys and app functionality within the Storey platform.
3. How we use cookies We aim to keep cookies to a minimum. On Storey.org.uk, the only cookie we use is an optional promo code cookie (for example, if you visit a promotional URL such as storey.org.uk/EARLYBIRD). This helps us remember the promotion applied to your visit.
4. Analytics and advertising measurement We use the following tools to understand how visitors use our website and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising. These tools are designed to help us understand journeys throughout the site (for example, which pages are visited and in what order). Where these tools require non-essential cookies or similar identifiers, we will only enable them after you have consented.
   1. Google Analytics
      Helps us understand website usage (e.g. pages viewed, time on page, traffic sources) so we can improve Storey.org.uk.
   2. Meta Pixel
      Helps us measure and understand the performance of Meta advertising by tracking actions on Storey.org.uk.
5. Types of cookies we use
   1. Strictly necessary cookies
      These are required for the website to work properly. We keep these to a minimum.
   2. Preferences (functionality) cookies
      These remember choices such as a promotional code applied to your visit (e.g. via storey.org.uk/EARLYBIRD).
   3. Analytics cookies
      Used by Google Analytics (where enabled) to understand how visitors use the site.
   4. Marketing / advertising cookies
      Used by Meta Pixel (where enabled) to measure ad performance and understand journeys after clicking an ad.
6. Lawful basis and consent Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we only place non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing cookies) with your consent. You can withdraw or change your choices at any time via our cookie settings (where available) or by adjusting your browser controls (see below).
7. Managing cookies You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and set preferences for certain sites. If you disable cookies, some parts of Storey.org.uk may not work as intended (for example, remembering a promo code applied to your visit).
8. Third-party cookies Some cookies may be set by third parties if you consent to analytics or marketing. For example, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel may set cookies or use similar identifiers when enabled. These providers act under their own policies as well as contractual terms with Storey.
9. Data protection We only collect and process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not use cookies to intentionally collect special category (sensitive) personal data. Where consent is required for analytics or marketing, you can choose not to consent and still use the website.
10. Changes to this policy We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. Please review it periodically.
