Understanding Our Transparent Data Practices
Cookie Policy - Deed Polls Online
For ease of understanding, all such technologies are referred to as "Trackers" within this document, unless a distinction is necessary. For instance, while cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, discussing cookies in the context of mobile apps, which rely on browser-based trackers, would be inaccurate. Thus, the term cookies is specifically used here to denote that particular type of tracker.
Some uses of trackers may require the user's consent. When consent is given, it can be withdrawn at any time by following the instructions in this document.
Deed Polls Online utilises trackers managed directly by the owner (known as "first-party" trackers) and trackers that enable services provided by a third party (referred to as "third-party" trackers). Unless specified otherwise in this document, third-party providers may access the trackers they manage.
The validity and expiration of cookies and similar trackers vary, depending on the lifespan set by either the owner or the relevant provider, with some expiring at the end of the user’s browsing session.
In addition to the information specified within each category below, users may find more detailed and up-to-date information on lifetime specifications and other relevant details (such as the presence of additional trackers) in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the owner.
