TheUKDaily.uk, operated by Crown Quay Media Ltd., respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the categories of cookies we use, how you can manage your consent, and how we retain data. For more detail on how we handle your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how the site is used. Cookies can be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Categories of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on TheUKDaily.uk. Some are essential for the website to function; others help us improve our service and support our journalism.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functions such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our site, for example, which pages are most popular, how users navigate, and if they encounter errors. This information helps us improve our content and user experience. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data. We use a reputable analytics provider, and your consent is required before these cookies are placed.
Advertising and Affiliate Tracking Cookies
We may use advertising cookies to deliver relevant advertisements to you and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. Affiliate tracking cookies allow us to earn a small commission if you click on a link to a partner retailer and make a purchase. These cookies help fund our journalism. They are non-essential and require your consent.
Embedded Media Cookies
Our articles may include embedded content from third-party services, such as YouTube videos or social media feeds (e.g., X, Facebook, Instagram). When you interact with this embedded content, the third-party provider may set its own cookies for purposes including analytics, personalisation, and advertising. We do not control these cookies. Your consent is required for these cookies to be placed, and you should review the privacy policies of those third parties for further information.
Consent and How to Change Your Preferences
For UK and EU visitors, we request your consent before placing any non-essential cookies. When you first visit TheUKDaily.uk, you will see a clear consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, where you can block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our site.
Retention of Cookies
The retention period for cookies varies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period defined by the cookie, typically up to 12 months for analytics and advertising cookies, after which they are automatically deleted or renewed upon your next visit. You can delete persistent cookies manually through your browser settings at any time.
