Cookies Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookies Policy explains how Japade ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and is intended to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as enforced in the United Kingdom by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

By continuing to use our website, subject to your choices as described below, you acknowledge how we use cookies. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should set your preferences accordingly or refrain from using the site.


1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time.

2. Our Approach to Cookies

Japade takes a minimal approach to cookies. We do not use analytics tools, tracking scripts, or session-management cookies of any kind. We do not set cookies associated with third-party analytics platforms, and no such tools are embedded in our website.

3. The Only Cookie We Set

The sole cookie used on this website is described below.

Cookie Name Purpose Type Duration
privacy_choice Stores the consent choice you make regarding cookies, so that we do not need to ask you again on each visit. Essential (consent management) 1 year

No other cookies — including analytics, advertising-tracking, session identifiers, or cross-site request forgery (CSRF) tokens — are set by default on this website.

4. Essential vs Optional Cookies

Under PECR, cookies are generally classified as either "strictly necessary" (essential) or "non-essential" (optional), with the latter requiring your prior consent before being set.

4.1 Essential Cookies

The privacy_choice cookie is considered essential because it is used solely to remember your cookie consent preference. Without it, the website would be unable to respect your previously stated choice, and you would be asked to make a decision on every visit. Because this cookie supports a core function requested by you (recording your consent), it does not require separate consent to be set.

4.2 Optional Cookies

Japade does not currently set any optional cookies on general pages of the website. The only circumstance in which optional, consent-based technology is used is described in Section 5 below, relating to advertising measurement on the confirmation page.

5. Advertising Measurement on the Confirmation Page

After you have given consent, and only on the confirmation page reached at the end of certain interactions with our website, a third-party advertising measurement mechanism may run. This mechanism is used solely to measure the effectiveness of advertising that may have led you to our site.

Key points regarding this mechanism:

6. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent

You are in control of your cookie preferences at all times. You may change or withdraw your consent in the following ways:

Please note that if you withdraw consent, the confirmation-page advertising measurement described in Section 5 will not run on subsequent visits until consent is given again.

7. Your Rights Under UK Data Protection Law

As a UK-based data controller, Japade recognises your rights under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, including the right to be informed, the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, and the right to object to certain processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data protection rights have been infringed.
