Cookie Policy

Cookies and browser storage

Cookies are small files a website can place in your browser. Local storage is another way of keeping information on the device, such as a preference you have selected.

This page describes the session and preference storage used by the public website and how to change your choice. For information about enquiry and application data, read the Privacy Policy and Applicant Privacy Notice.

Essential storage

The website uses the following storage for its session and preference features:

• Session cookie. Associates requests with a server session so the website can protect forms and maintain security checks. Its name and expiry depend on the server’s session configuration and your browser.
• Cookie preference. The first-party local-storage entry helprite_cookie_consent_v1 records your choice and an expiry time. The choice is treated as current for 30 days, after which the website asks again. The stored entry can remain on your device until it is replaced or you clear site storage.

Optional-cookie preferences

You can use the public pages and enquiry forms while choosing Essential only. That saves a refusal of optional cookies. Allow optional cookies records acceptance of optional-cookie features described to you on this site.

A cookie preference is separate from submitting an enquiry or application. Neither button subscribes you to marketing or sets the privacy choices for a different website.

Google Analytics. With optional consent, the Google Analytics tag measures how pages are used. It can create first-party _ga and _ga_* cookies, configured here to last up to 30 days. That cookie lifetime is separate from Google Analytics data retention. This site’s integration excludes form field values and removes query strings and fragments from page addresses sent to Analytics.

Analytics does not load before optional consent. Use Cookie settings and choose Essential only to stop further collection through this integration and clear its accessible first-party Analytics cookies. Withdrawal cannot retract information already sent to Google. See Google’s Privacy Policy for its handling of information.

Change your choice

The banner offers Essential only and Allow optional cookies. Your current choice is remembered for 30 days. Clearing the preference from your browser also causes the banner to ask again.

Use Cookie settings in the website footer to reopen the controls at any time. Choose Essential only if you want to change a previously accepted optional-cookie preference.

Browser controls

Your browser can show, remove or block cookies and clear local storage. Blocking session storage may stop a form or security check from working. If you remove the saved preference, you will be asked to choose again.

Changing a choice on this website does not remove storage already set by a separate website. Use that service’s controls or your browser settings to manage it.

Other websites and resources

Links to a brand website, social profile or the Employee Portal take you to a separate service. Its own privacy and cookie information applies there. Following a link is different from embedding content from another provider within this page.

A page may request a font or other interface resource from a provider. Your browser sends technical request information to that provider. If you have a question about a particular resource or embedded feature, contact us using the details below.

Questions and changes

Contact info@helprite.co.uk with a question about browser storage or your choices. You can also read our Privacy Policy or contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

This page is dated above and can be updated when the website’s storage or optional features change.
