Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 September 2026
1. Information about our use of cookies
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on tideltd.co.uk.
This website is operated by Tide Partnership Ltd, company number 12788363.
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser or device. Cookies and related browser-storage technologies may be used to operate a website, remember preferences, record consent choices or understand website use.
2. Types of cookies
Cookies are commonly grouped into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies are required for essential website operation or services requested by the visitor.
- Analytical/performance cookies help understand how visitors use the website.
- Functionality cookies remember preferences or allow personalised functionality.
- Targeting cookies are used to track visits or interactions for advertising or interest-based marketing.
Our current implementation does not evidence all four categories as active.
3. Cookie consent
The website uses Complianz to manage privacy and cookie choices.
Complianz may use cookies or browser storage to record:
- whether the consent banner has been dealt with;
- consent categories;
- policy/consent status;
- changes to consent preferences.
Technically evidenced examples include Complianz records beginning with cmplz_, including records such as cmplz_banner-status and cmplz_policy_id.
4. Cookies and services currently identified
| Service / identifier | Category | Purpose | Current position |
|---|---|---|---|
Complianz cmplz_* consent records |
Strictly necessary / consent management | Records privacy and consent choices | Active as part of the consent system |

| Advertising / targeting platforms | Targeting | Advertising or behavioural tracking | Not evidenced as active |
Jetpack Stats is provided by Automattic. A verified list of the individual Jetpack Stats cookies used on this website is not yet available.
5. Functionality cookies
Our technical inspection did not identify a separate optional functionality-cookie service requiring disclosure at present.
If this changes, we will update our consent configuration and this policy as appropriate.
6. Targeting and advertising cookies
Our inspection did not identify active:
- Google Ads or DoubleClick;
- Meta/Facebook Pixel;
- LinkedIn Insight;
- TikTok advertising tracking;
- Microsoft Clarity;
- Hotjar;
- comparable advertising or behavioural-targeting technology.
A Marketing category may appear within the Complianz interface because the consent platform supports that category. This does not mean marketing tracking is currently installed.
7. WordPress, hosting and Automattic services
The website uses WordPress and is hosted by Krystal Hosting.
Automattic services, including Jetpack Stats where enabled, may provide website functionality or statistics subject to the consent position described above.
Cookies associated with WordPress administration or signed-in administrator sessions are not part of the normal signed-out visitor journey.
8. Third-party services reached through links
The site may link to services including Microsoft Bookings and Microsoft Forms.
These services are not loaded simply by viewing this website.
If you follow one of these links, the relevant third party may use its own cookies or similar technologies subject to its own privacy and cookie terms.
9. Managing your choices
You may use the website’s consent controls to accept, reject or change optional cookie categories.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent.
You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies.
Blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect website operation.
10. Cookie lifetimes
Complianz consent cookies are configured to expire 365 days after they are set or renewed. They remember your consent choices and whether the banner has been dismissed; your browser may delete them sooner.
The 365-day period applies to the Complianz consent cookies, not to every cookie on the website. Individual Jetpack Stats cookie lifetimes have not yet been confirmed for this website.
11. Changes to this policy
We will review this policy if the cookies, analytics, embedded services or tracking technologies used by the website materially change.
