Sovereign Secure Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 October 2026
This Sovereign Secure cookie policy explains what cookies are, which cookies sovereignsecure.co.uk sets and how you can control them. In short, this website does not set any analytics, advertising, social media or other tracking cookies, and it does not load third-party tracking scripts.
For how we collect, use and protect personal data, and how to contact us, see our Privacy Policy. The rules for using this website are in our terms and conditions.
This Cookie Policy applies to the following domain: sovereignsecure.co.uk.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Some are needed for a website to work or to stay secure; others remember your preferences, measure how a site is used or track you for advertising. Similar technologies, such as browser storage, work in much the same way and are covered by this policy too.
Which cookies does the Sovereign Secure website set?
None of our own. The website works without cookies: its pages, free tools and enquiry forms do not set cookies, and the free tools (such as the PCI compliance check and the Cyber Essentials readiness check) keep your answers in your browser only while the page is open.
Our hosting and security provider may set a strictly necessary security cookie, such as __cf_bm or cf_clearance, to tell people apart from automated traffic and to remember that your browser has passed a security check. These cookies are not used for analytics or advertising, and they do not identify you.
| Type of cookie | Used on this website? | What it would be for |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Only the security cookies our hosting provider may set | Keeping the website available and protecting it from automated attacks |
| Statistics or analytics | No | Counting visitors and the pages they view |
| Functional or embedded content | No | Embedded videos, maps or social media posts; the website embeds none |
| Advertising or tracking | No | Showing you adverts or following you across other websites |
Links to other websites, such as our LinkedIn page or the PCI Security Standards Council, are plain links. Those websites set their own cookies only if you visit them, under their own cookie policies.
Will this change if we add analytics?
If we add analytics or any other non-essential cookies in future, we will update this policy before they go live, listing each cookie’s name, provider, purpose and how long it lasts, and we will give you a way to accept or reject them.
How can I control cookies?
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Every browser lets you see, block and delete cookies, either for all websites or for particular ones. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop some websites from working properly. To find out more about how to manage and delete cookies, visit wikipedia.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Changes to the Sovereign Secure cookie policy
We will update this policy whenever the cookies on this website change, and show the date of the change at the top of the page. If you have a question about cookies on this website, contact us or email [email protected].
