This policy explains what cookies are, which ones are placed on your device when you visit compass-rose.sbs, and how you may manage your preferences. We aim to keep this explanation straightforward and honest.
01
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device. They are widely used to make websites work reliably, to remember preferences, and — with your permission — to understand how visitors move through a site so that the site can be improved over time.
Some cookies are removed when you close your browser (session cookies); others remain for a set period (persistent cookies). Neither type contains personal data such as your name or financial information.
02
Cookies We Use
We use cookies in three categories. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. Analytics and marketing cookies are placed only with your consent.
03
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take — such as indicating your cookie preferences — and do not involve storing or sharing any personally identifiable information.
No consent is required to set strictly necessary cookies, and they cannot be disabled through the preference panel below.
04
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate terms, how visitors reach and use this website. This helps us improve the clarity and usefulness of our content over time. All data is anonymous: we cannot identify individual visitors from this information.
If you decline analytics cookies, Google Analytics will not be initialised during your visit and no measurement data will be collected.
05
Marketing Cookies
We place Facebook Pixel and Microsoft Advertising (Bing) tracking pixels on this site to measure the broad reach of any advertisements we run. These help us understand, in general terms, whether our marketing reaches people who share characteristics with our existing programme participants.
We do not use these tools to build individual advertising profiles or to target you personally with ads. If you decline marketing cookies, these pixels will not be loaded.
06
Managing Your Preferences
You may adjust your cookie preferences at any time using the controls below. Changes take effect the next time the page loads. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled.

07
Browser-Level Controls
All modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies independently of any website preference panel. The process varies by browser; you can usually find the relevant settings under Privacy, Security, or Site Settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how this and other websites function.
For guidance specific to your browser, please consult the browser's own help documentation or the information at allaboutcookies.org.
08
Third-Party Services
The analytics and marketing tools we use are provided by third parties — Google, Meta (Facebook), and Microsoft — and are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies if you have questions about how those companies handle data.
09
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as technology or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. We will not materially change how we handle data without providing reasonable notice.
