Cookie policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to understand how visitors use a site. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels; this policy refers to all of these as "cookies" unless we specify otherwise.

2. How Factory East uses cookies

We use cookies on our website (the "Site") only where needed to provide core functionality, to keep the Site secure, and — where we introduce them — to measure how the Site is used so we can improve it. We do not use cookies to sell your personal information.

For how we process personal data more broadly, please see our privacy policy.

3. Types of cookies we may use

The exact cookies served can change as we update the Site. They may include the following categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to operate (for example to load pages correctly, maintain security, or remember choices during your session). These are usually set in response to actions you take. In many jurisdictions they do not require consent, but you can still block them in your browser; doing so may prevent parts of the Site from working.
• Functional cookies — used to remember settings you choose (such as language or accessibility preferences) where we offer them.
• Analytics or performance cookies — where we use them, they help us understand how many people visit the Site, which pages are viewed, and how users move around. We only use these where permitted by law (for example after consent, where required).

4. Third-party cookies and embedded content

Some pages may include content or links provided by third parties (for example social media buttons, embedded videos, maps, or donation services). Those providers may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control those cookies; please refer to the relevant third party's cookie and privacy policies.

5. How long cookies last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period (shown in your browser or in any consent tool we provide) unless you delete them earlier.

6. How to control cookies

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. You can also use private or incognito browsing modes to limit persistent storage. Blocking all cookies may affect how the Site works.

For browser-specific guidance, see your browser's help pages (for example Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge). In the UK and EEA, you can learn more about online behavioural advertising at Your Online Choices.

7. Changes to this cookie policy

We may update this policy when we change how we use cookies or when regulations change. The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised when we publish changes. Please check this page from time to time.
