This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and the choices you have. We keep our use of cookies to a minimum and we ask for your agreement before setting any that are not strictly necessary.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve your experience, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies such as pixels and local storage work in comparable ways, and where we refer to cookies in this policy we mean those too.
Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and by the UK GDPR where cookies involve personal data. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. For other cookies, we either ask for your consent or, where the law now permits, rely on a permitted exemption and give you a simple way to opt out.
Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the website to function and to remember your cookie choices. They do not require consent and cannot be switched off.
Analytics cookies. If enabled, these help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. We use analytics only in a way that serves 236 Works as the site operator. You can opt out of these at any time through our cookie banner.
Marketing and advertising cookies. If enabled, these may be set by third-party platforms to measure and support our marketing, including on professional networks. These always require your consent, and we will not set them unless you accept them.
When you first visit our site, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies with equal ease. We do not set non-essential cookies before you choose. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your cookies or by reopening the cookie banner. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
Where we use third-party services such as analytics or professional-network marketing tools, those providers may set their own cookies. We only allow non-essential third-party cookies to run after you have given your consent, where consent is required. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie notices of those providers.
Apollo. When you accept marketing cookies, we load a website tracking script provided by Apollo. It helps us understand which organisations visit our site so we can shape our outreach. It is a marketing tool and only loads after you accept marketing cookies. It never loads before you have made a choice. If you later withdraw marketing consent, we stop loading it from your next page view onwards. You can review Apollo's privacy notice on their website.
For more about how we handle personal data, please see our Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@236works.com.
You can also read the Information Commissioner's Office guidance on cookies at ico.org.uk.
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. When we do, we will revise the last updated date at the top of this page.
