This Cookie Policy describes the cookies and similar tracking technologies used on Mitromo.com. It explains what cookies are, which categories of cookies this website uses, the purpose of each, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy is intended to be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader context for our data processing activities.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "session cookies" — which are deleted when you close your browser — or "persistent cookies" — which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects. Where this policy refers to "cookies", it encompasses these technologies as well unless otherwise specified.
Legal Framework
The use of cookies on websites accessed from the United Kingdom is regulated primarily by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended, and by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) where cookies involve the processing of personal data.
Under PECR, we are required to obtain your consent before placing any cookies on your device that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from this consent requirement. We use a cookie consent mechanism on this website to obtain and record your preferences in accordance with these requirements.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) provides guidance on cookie compliance for UK websites. Our approach to cookie management is designed to align with that guidance.
Cookies We Use
This website uses cookies in the following categories. The specific cookies within each category are described in the sections below. We do not use advertising or targeting cookies on this website.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie preferences or completing a form. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may not function as a result.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.
At the time of this policy's last update, this website does not use third-party functional cookies beyond those listed under strictly necessary cookies above. We will update this section if functional cookies are introduced in future.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors navigate our website. This information helps us understand which pages are most and least popular and see how visitors move through the site. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We do not currently operate a third-party analytics platform on this website. If we introduce analytics tools in future, we will update this policy to describe the specific cookies used, their duration, and the third-party provider involved. Such cookies will only be placed with your prior consent.
Managing Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies on this website and on other websites you visit.
Through our consent tool: When you first
visit Mitromo.com, you are presented with a cookie consent
panel. You can use this panel to accept or decline
non-essential cookies. You can revisit your preferences at any
time by clearing the mit_consent cookie from your
browser and reloading the page.
Through your browser settings: All major browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. The method for doing this varies by browser. Guidance is available from the browser's help documentation or from the ICO's website at ico.org.uk.
Note on browser controls: Blocking all cookies through your browser may affect the functionality of this website, including the ability to remember your display preferences.
Your Consent
When you visit Mitromo.com for the first time, you are presented with a cookie consent notice in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This notice explains the categories of cookies we use and gives you the option to accept or decline non-essential categories.
Your consent choice is recorded in the
mit_consent cookie and is valid for 365 days.
After this period, you will be asked to confirm your
preferences again. Strictly necessary cookies are placed
regardless of your consent choice, as they are required for
the site to function.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing the
mit_consent cookie from your browser. This will
cause the consent notice to reappear on your next visit,
allowing you to make a fresh selection.
Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or guidance from the ICO. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document indicates when the most recent revision was made.
Where changes to this policy are material — for example, the introduction of new cookie categories — we will present the cookie consent notice again to allow you to review and confirm your preferences under the revised policy.
