Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot be used to access your device or personal files. They are read only by the website that created them.
The website kycifi.com is operated by KYCifi, a compliance consultancy based at No 1 Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3EB. KYCifi is the data controller responsible for cookies placed on this website.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us at info@kycifi.com.
We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. The table below sets out the categories of cookies currently active on kycifi.com.
| Cookie Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __session | Essential | Maintains your session state as you navigate the site (e.g. booking form progress). Required for the site to function correctly. | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
| netlify-cms-user | Essential | Set by our hosting provider, Netlify, to manage site delivery and security. Contains no personal data. | Session |

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality such as form submissions and page navigation. Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), these do not require your consent.
Analytics cookies are non-essential. We use them solely to understand how visitors interact with our website in aggregate — for example, which pages are visited most frequently. We do not use analytics data to identify individual users or serve advertising. We will only place analytics cookies where you have provided consent.
When you first visit kycifi.com, a cookie banner will invite you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice will be saved via the cookieconsent cookie for 12 months.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, or by adjusting your browser settings as described in Section 6 below.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal, and essential cookies will continue to be placed regardless.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies entirely, delete existing cookies, or be notified before a cookie is placed. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this website.
Instructions for the most common browsers:

Where we embed third-party tools (such as Google Analytics or a booking widget), those third parties may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies and they are subject to the respective third party's own privacy and cookies policies.
We do not permit third-party advertising cookies or behavioural tracking cookies on kycifi.com. We do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time as our website evolves or in response to changes in applicable law (including UK GDPR and PECR). The "last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. We recommend checking this page periodically.
