Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how 3cj-marketing.com (“the Site”) uses them, how long they last, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We aim to comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and with UK GDPR transparency requirements.

What are cookies and related technologies

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage objects, session storage, pixel tags, and server-side session identifiers. Some technologies are essential for basic functions such as load balancing or security; others remember preferences. This Policy uses “cookies” to refer to cookies and closely analogous technologies unless stated otherwise.

How we classify cookies on this Site

We divide cookies into: (1) strictly necessary cookies required to transmit a communication over a network or to provide a service you explicitly request, such as maintaining session integrity through our hosting environment; (2) preference storage implemented through local storage or a minimal cookie to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional categories, where such storage is not strictly necessary but supports your expressed choice; (3) analytics cookies, which we currently do not deploy on this Site; (4) marketing cookies, which we do not deploy on this Site for cross-site tracking.

Cookies you may encounter

Strictly necessary / security: Our infrastructure may issue short-lived session or anti-abuse tokens. These help prevent automated scraping, credential stuffing attempts, and denial-of-service patterns. They typically expire when you close your browser or within hours.
Preference / consent state: When you click Accept or Reject on our banner, we store a lightweight flag in local storage where available so we do not repeatedly interrupt your visit. If local storage is unavailable, an equivalent minimal cookie may be used with a limited lifetime.

First-party versus third-party

Cookies set directly by our domain are first-party. We do not intentionally place third-party advertising cookies on this Site. If you embed or follow links to external operators, those domains will set their own cookies governed by their policies. Review each operator’s notice before you authenticate or deposit.

Retention periods

Strictly necessary session cookies generally expire at the end of the browsing session or within twenty-four hours unless a security incident requires extended logging at the infrastructure layer. Consent preference flags stored locally may persist until you clear site data or we change our storage key following a material policy update, at which point we may prompt you again.

Legal bases under PECR and UK GDPR

For strictly necessary cookies, consent is not required under Regulation 6 of PECR where the storage or access is essential to provide a service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user. For any non-essential technologies we might add in the future, we will obtain prior consent through the banner or another clear affirmative action before setting such cookies, unless a different lawful basis applies.

Your choices and browser controls

You can delete cookies and site data through your browser settings. Popular browsers provide options to block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or delete data on exit. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause the Site to malfunction, including repeated display of the age gate or inability to load assets. You can also use private browsing modes for ephemeral sessions, understanding that some preference choices may not persist.

Do Not Track and global privacy signals

There is no uniform legal standard for browser “Do Not Track” signals. We do not respond to DNT headers as a separate contractual obligation, but we do not run cross-site behavioural ad networks on this Site in any event.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

If we introduce new categories of cookies, we will update this page, adjust retention descriptions, and, where legally required, modify the banner to collect fresh consent before non-essential cookies are set.
