Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Interim Collective uses cookies and similar technologies on interim-collective.co.uk. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and reflects our obligations under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies (such as browser localStorage) work in the same way. We use the word “cookies” below to cover both.

We keep the platform lean and only use cookies that are strictly necessary to run it. These do not require your consent under PECR.

• Authentication and session: set when you sign in so that you stay signed in as you move between pages. Removing these will sign you out.
• Security: used to protect against cross-site request forgery and similar attacks.
• Preferences: remember basic UI choices such as dark mode.

We do not currently use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking or third-party analytics cookies. If that changes we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent through a cookie banner before those cookies are set.

Some essential cookies are set by our infrastructure providers (for example our authentication and hosting layer) to keep you signed in and to protect the service. These providers act as our processors and are covered by our Privacy Policy.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block essential cookies you will not be able to sign in or use large parts of the platform.

Guidance for common browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all publish instructions for managing cookies in their support sites.

We will update this policy if our use of cookies changes. Material changes will be highlighted on the platform.
