Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Satsuma Media Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at www.satsumamedia.co.uk. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Satsuma Media Ltd) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for analytics and other purposes.
Types of cookies we use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Targeting & Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners (such as Google Ads). They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyse how users use our site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings to refuse cookies or by contacting us at the details below. Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our website.
How long do cookies last?
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies last only as long as your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed and can remain on your device for varying lengths of time — from a few minutes to several years.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
