At Starup.uk, we use cookies to give you a better experience on our website, improve performance, and customise the content you see. In line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it’s important we explain how we use cookies and give you the option to manage your preferences.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. These cookies allow us to remember your activities and preferences (like language or login information) over a period, improving your browsing experience.
Types of cookies we use
At Starup.uk, we use different types of cookies, which fall into the following categories:
1. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to work properly and cannot be turned off in our systems. They’re usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.
2. Performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are most visited or if there are any error messages. The information collected is anonymous and used only to improve the performance of the website.
3. Functional cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we’ve added to our site. If you don’t allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
