About this policy
This policy explains how Impact Specialist Finance Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in the same way. They help a website work properly and can tell the website owner how the site is being used.
Some cookies last only until you close your browser. Others stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Your choices
When you first visit our website, we ask whether you accept non-essential cookies. If you choose “Reject non-essential”, we only use what is strictly necessary for the site to work.
You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. We remember your choice for 12 months, then ask again.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work, for example the map on our Contact page.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary
We store your cookie choice in your browser’s local storage (named impact-cookie-consent) so we don’t ask you on every page. This is needed for the site to respect your choice and is always used. It is kept for up to 12 months.
Analytics (only with your consent)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited and how people arrive at the site. This helps us improve the site. Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_<ID>, which can last for up to two years. The information is collected in a way that does not directly identify you.
Google Analytics is provided by Google. You can read more in Google’s cookie policy (opens in a new tab).
Third-party content (only with your consent)
Our Contact page includes a map provided by Google Maps. When the map loads, Google may set its own cookies. The map only loads if you accept non-essential cookies. If you don’t, you can still open our location directly in Google Maps.
Links to other websites
Our website links to other sites, such as our online enquiry portal, our partners and review sites. Those sites have their own cookie and privacy policies, which we don’t control.
Retention period for personal data
Except as otherwise mentioned in our privacy notice, we keep your personal information only for as long as required by us:
• To provide you with the services you have requested;
• To comply with FCA Regulation, other law, including for the period demanded by our tax authorities;
• To support a claim or defence in court.
