Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 10 July 2025

This page explains what cookies are, how Sparsemind uses them on this website, and how you can manage your preferences. We keep things plain: no jargon, no unnecessary detail.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences and to provide information about how a site is used.

Cookies do not give anyone access to your device or any information beyond what you share. They are not executable programmes and cannot carry viruses.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always Active

These cookies are required for the website to function. They include the cookie consent preference itself (stored in your browser's localStorage so we do not ask again on every visit). These cannot be disabled while you use the site.

Duration: Session and up to 12 months for consent records.

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where visitors come from. We use this information in aggregate to improve programme pages and content. No personally identifiable information is shared with analytics providers.

Third party: Google Analytics (where enabled). Duration: up to 26 months, then anonymised.

Marketing Cookies

Optional

These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of any advertising campaigns and to avoid showing the same message repeatedly. They may be set by advertising networks that we work with.

Third parties: advertising network providers (where applicable). Duration: up to 90 days.

Preference Cookies

Optional

These remember settings you have chosen — such as your preferred display or region — so you do not need to reconfigure them each visit.

Duration: up to 12 months.
