Small files.
Clear purpose.

Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on or accessed from your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Similar technologies can also store or access information on a device. For this reason, this policy uses the term “cookies” to cover cookies and relevant similar storage or access technologies.

The applicable rules distinguish between technologies that are strictly necessary for a service and those that require user consent. We apply that distinction when reviewing technologies used on this website. The ICO’s current guidance confirms that the strictly necessary exception depends on whether the technology is essential to provide the service requested by the user. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

SCHOOLWEAR SHARED SERVICES LTD uses cookies and similar technologies only for defined website purposes. Depending on the website configuration, these may include:

• supporting essential website functions;
• maintaining website security and reliable operation;
• remembering relevant website or cookie preferences;
• supporting contact-form functionality;
• understanding website usage where an appropriate analytics technology has been enabled; and
• supporting third-party website functions where those services are actively used on a particular page.

Cookies can be grouped according to their purpose. The categories below describe the types that may be relevant to this website. They do not mean that every category is necessarily active at all times.

Some website functions may be supplied by third parties. Where third-party cookies or similar technologies are used, the relevant provider may store or access information on your device or process information obtained through the technology.

Examples may include website hosting, security services, form functionality, embedded maps, analytics or other website functionality, but only where those services are actually configured on the website.

We do not use this policy to claim that a particular third-party service is active when it may not be. The website’s live configuration determines which third-party technologies are actually deployed.

Where a cookie or similar technology is not strictly necessary, the applicable rules may require consent before it is placed on or accessed from your device.

Where consent is required, it should involve a clear and positive action and should be freely given, specific and informed. Simply continuing to browse a website does not, by itself, constitute valid consent for non-essential cookies. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Cookies may be either session-based or persistent. Session cookies normally remain available only while a browsing session is active. Persistent cookies may remain on a device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

The actual duration depends on the specific technology and its purpose. We aim to keep retention periods proportionate to the purpose for which the technology is used.

Most modern browsers allow you to view, remove, block or restrict cookies through their privacy or settings controls.

You can generally configure your browser to block cookies, remove existing cookies, restrict third-party cookies or delete stored website information when the browser is closed.

Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the way some website functions operate. This is particularly relevant where a technology is required for an essential website function. The ICO also recognises browser controls as one way users can manage cookies. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Cookies do not automatically provide us with your name, email address or other identifying information. Depending on the technology used, however, information associated with a device, browser or online activity may constitute personal data.

Where cookie-related information amounts to personal data, it is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy .

We review website technologies as part of normal website administration and seek to keep their use appropriate to their stated purposes.

We may update this Cookie Policy when the website’s technology, plugins, embedded services or applicable requirements change.

The current version published on this page applies to the website from the time it is made available. Where changes materially affect the way non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, appropriate information and consent arrangements will be applied where required.

We aim to review the website’s cookie arrangements periodically so that the policy remains consistent with the technologies actually operating on the website.
