Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is used.
Cookies are not harmful programs and cannot be used to spread viruses or access your hard drive. They contain only information you have provided or that results from your visit to a website.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. This policy covers all such technologies and refers to them collectively as "cookies".
Strategic Edge Solutions uses cookies on this website for the following purposes:
We will only place non-essential cookies on your device where we have obtained your consent to do so, in line with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. All information collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.
These cookies may be set through our website by us or our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or whether you have dismissed a notification) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services. As a digital marketing agency, we use industry-standard tools that may set their own cookies. The main third parties whose cookies may be present on our website include:
