Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2026. This policy explains how SOHs.org.uk uses cookies.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences and understand how visitors use the site.

How we use cookies

We use cookies only where necessary to provide and improve our service:

  • Essential cookies — Required for the site to function (e.g. remembering your age verification, cookie consent choice). These do not require your consent under UK law but we will still inform you about them.
  • Preference cookies — Remember your choices (e.g. that you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies) so we do not ask again on every visit.

Non-essential cookies

We do not currently use marketing, advertising or analytics cookies. If we introduce them in the future, we will ask for your consent before placing them and will update this policy.

Third-party cookies

When you follow links to external sites (e.g. payment providers, regulators), those sites may set their own cookies. We do not control those cookies. Please check the relevant site's privacy and cookie policy.

Managing cookies

You can control cookies via your browser settings. You can delete existing cookies and block new ones. Blocking all cookies may affect how our site works (e.g. we may show the cookie banner again each time you visit).

Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will be revised. We encourage you to check this page occasionally.
