1. About this Cookie Notice

This Cookie Notice explains how IPA Bookkeeping & Accounting Ltd (“IPA”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website:

ipa-bookkeeping-accounting.co.uk

This notice should be read alongside our Privacy Notice, which explains how we handle personal information.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that websites can place on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies can be used to:

• enable website functionality;
• remember your choices; and
• understand how visitors use a website.

Some cookies are necessary for a website or particular functionality to operate.

Optional cookies and tracking technologies used on our website are subject to the consent choices described below.

3. Our website and cookie banner

Our website is built and hosted using 123 Reg Website Builder.

The Website Builder provides our cookie banner and website tracking functionality.

When you first visit our website, the cookie banner allows you to Accept or Decline tracking.

According to 123 Reg’s Website Builder documentation, tracking tools are only loaded when a visitor accepts tracking.

If you select Decline, close the banner or otherwise dismiss it without accepting, tracking tools are not loaded.

4. Advanced tracking

Our Website Builder settings include an enabled Advanced Tracking feature.

According to information provided by 123 Reg, this feature collects aggregated, anonymised information to provide website insights and metrics and help improve website performance.

123 Reg has confirmed to us that Advanced Tracking only activates after a visitor accepts tracking through the cookie banner.

Enabling this feature in our website settings does not mean that it automatically operates when you first visit our website. Its activation depends on your consent.

5. Cookies identified on our website

The individual purposes, classifications and expiry periods of these cookies have not yet been confirmed by 123 Reg.

We have therefore not assigned descriptions or retention periods that we cannot verify.

The cookies and technologies used may change if 123 Reg updates its service or our website configuration changes. We will review this notice where appropriate.

6. Google reCAPTCHA

Our website contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA to help protect against spam, automated submissions and abuse.

reCAPTCHA may process information about your device and your interaction with the website. It may also use cookies or similar technologies when providing this functionality.

Google processes information in accordance with its applicable privacy terms and policies.

Further information is available in Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

7. Your cookie choices

When you first visit our website, the cookie banner gives you the choice to Accept or Decline tracking.

If you accept, the Website Builder can load the tracking functionality described in this notice.

If you decline, close or dismiss the banner without accepting, tracking tools are not loaded.

You do not have to accept optional tracking to browse our website.

8. Changing or withdrawing your consent

You may withdraw your consent to optional cookies and tracking.

We have asked 123 Reg how visitors who previously selected Acceptcan reopen the cookie banner or change their preferences.

123 Reg has advised that its available Website Builder resources do not identify a feature allowing visitors to reopen or change their preferences after their initial interaction with the banner.

You can use your browser settings to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. The controls available depend on your browser and device.

Deleting cookies may cause websites to forget previously stored choices. However, deleting cookies alone does not necessarily prevent tracking tools from loading again.

We are continuing to review the available consent-management arrangements and will update this notice when a method for changing preferences directly through our website is confirmed.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
