This Cookie Policy explains how Pub & Social (“we”, “us” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit pubsocial.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They can help a site work properly, remember choices, understand how visitors use the site and, where permitted, support advertising. Similar technologies, such as local storage and tags, may perform related functions.
Cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These support essential functions such as security, fraud prevention, page delivery, load balancing and saving privacy choices. The website cannot operate reliably without them, so they do not normally require consent.
Analytics cookies
Where analytics is enabled and you have given any consent required by law, we may use Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to understand how visitors find and use Pub & Social. The information may include pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, referring page and interaction data. We use aggregated insights to improve our coverage, navigation and performance.
Advertising cookies
Pub & Social uses Google AdSense to support the cost of producing and maintaining the site. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure and limit advertising. Depending on your location and choices, ads may be personalised or non-personalised. Advertising cookies are not used for personalised advertising unless the required consent has been obtained.
Functional and embedded-content cookies
Some features may remember preferences or load content from third-party services, such as video, maps or social platforms. Those providers may set their own cookies when you choose to view or interact with the content. We aim to identify and control non-essential services through our consent setup.
Google services
We use Google services including Google Site Kit, Google Analytics and Google AdSense. Google may process information about your device and use of this site in accordance with its own policies. You can learn more in Google’s explanation of how it uses information from sites and apps and its Privacy Policy.
Your cookie choices
When a cookie banner or privacy control is displayed, you can accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before withdrawal. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings, although doing so may affect some website features.
For more information about controlling cookies, visit AboutCookies.org or the help pages for your browser. Google also provides My Ad Center for managing advertising preferences.
How long cookies last
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them. Retention varies by purpose and provider. We review the services used on Pub & Social and aim to keep information only for as long as it is needed.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, providers or legal obligations change. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
