Cookies Policy
How our website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Last updated: 4 June 2026
1. About this policy
Legal basis: Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003, Regulation 6, as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
This policy explains how www.tikfgroup.com ("our website") uses cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are regulated in the UK by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003.
Under PECR Regulation 6, storing or accessing information on a user's device requires the user's consent unless the cookie falls within a recognised exemption. The ICO's updated guidance (April 2026) confirms that the "strictly necessary" exemption must be assessed from the user's perspective: the cookie must be essential to provide a service the user has explicitly requested.
2. Cookies we use
Our website uses only strictly necessary cookies. These are:
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration | Exemption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel system cookies | Website hosting, load balancing, routing, and security | Strictly necessary | Session | PECR Reg.6(4)(b) |
All cookies listed above are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They are essential to deliver the service you have actively requested (loading and navigating the website) and therefore do not require your consent under PECR Regulation 6(4)(b). They do not collect personal information for marketing, advertising, or profiling purposes.
3. Cookies we do not use
We confirm that our website does not use:
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies or pixels
- Analytics cookies (including Google Analytics or similar)
- Social media tracking or sharing cookies
- Profiling or behavioural targeting cookies
- Affiliate marketing tracking pixels
- Fingerprinting or device identification technologies
Because we do not use any non-essential cookies, no cookie consent banner or consent management platform is required on our website.
4. Third-party cookies
We do not permit any third parties to set cookies through our website. Our contact form is processed via Web3Forms using a server-side API call (fetch request), which does not store or access information on your device.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. However, if you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of our website may not function correctly.
For information on managing cookies:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions > Manage and delete cookies

6. Changes to this policy
If we introduce additional cookies or similar technologies in future — for example, analytics or marketing tools — we will update this policy and implement a consent mechanism that meets the requirements of PECR Regulation 6 and UK GDPR Art.4(11) (freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent). Pre-ticked boxes and implied consent through continued browsing do not constitute valid consent under ICO guidance.
The "last updated" date at the top of this document will always reflect the most recent version.
7. Further information
