Cookie Policy

Last updated: 7 May 2026

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to collect information about how visitors use the site. Some cookies are required for the site to function. Others run only with your consent.

How we use cookies

We use the minimum number of cookies required to operate the site and, with your consent, to understand how visitors use it so we can improve it. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use cookies for advertising.

Your choices

You can change your cookie preferences at any time. The preferences panel lets you turn analytics on or off. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the site will not work without them.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you do this, parts of the site that rely on strictly necessary cookies (such as the dashboard login) may not work.

A note on data we have already collected

If you previously gave consent and now revoke it, we will stop sending data to analytics services from your visits going forward. We cannot retrospectively delete data already received by Google Analytics, but you can request deletion directly through Google's privacy controls. If you would like us to help, contact hello@aperioprofiles.co.uk.
