This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types of cookies may be used on DepositDesk UK and how you can control them. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, tablet or smartphone when you visit it. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your settings and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in a comparable way and are also covered by this policy.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by other services embedded in the page (third-party cookies). Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, we only use cookies that are not strictly necessary after you have given your consent.

Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as display preferences, to make the website more convenient to use. They are only set with your consent.
Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of partner links or to show relevant content on other websites. They are only set with your consent.

Managing Your Consent

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
