Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how PROPER WEB LTD uses cookies and similar technologies on https://properweb.cloud. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. PROPER WEB LTD is located at 66 Paul Street, LONDON, EC2A 4NA United Kingdom. Contact: +44 7245 678901, assist@properweb.cloud.

We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 as amended, UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. This Policy describes what cookies are, which categories we use, why we use them, how long they last, and how you can control them. The governing jurisdiction for disputes about this Policy is England and Wales, United Kingdom.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember preferences, maintain security sessions, or understand how the site is used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags and scripts that store or access information on your device. In this Policy, references to cookies include those similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

Cookies may be first-party cookies set by PROPER WEB LTD via https://properweb.cloud, or third-party cookies set by another domain providing a service to us, such as an analytics or content delivery provider. Cookies may be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period or until deleted.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to operate https://properweb.cloud reliably, to remember choices you make about cookie preferences, to secure forms and sessions where applicable, and—only with consent where required—to measure aggregated traffic and improve content about our computer systems design, IT consulting and software development services.

We do not use cookies to sell your personal data. Where cookie data constitutes personal data under UK GDPR, our Privacy Policy explains the lawful bases, retention and rights that apply. Strictly necessary cookies are used to provide a service requested by you. Non-essential cookies are used only after you give consent through our cookie banner or settings, unless a PECR exemption applies.

3. Cookie categories

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems without breaking core features. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, loading pages securely, or distributing traffic for availability. Because they are necessary to provide the online service you request, PECR does not require consent for these cookies, although UK GDPR transparency still applies where personal data is processed.

Examples include cookies that store your cookie consent state so that we do not repeatedly ask you on every page load, cookies that maintain load balancer affinity, and security cookies that help detect abusive automated requests. Without these cookies, parts of https://properweb.cloud may not operate correctly.

3.2 Preference or functionality cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering language presentation choices or interface preferences if offered. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we add to pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of those enhanced features may not function. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will request your consent before setting them.

3.3 Analytics or performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with https://properweb.cloud by collecting information in aggregated or pseudonymous form, such as pages visited, approximate geographic region derived from IP address, device category and referral source. We use these insights to improve navigation, content clarity and technical performance of our site describing PROPER WEB LTD services.

Analytics cookies are non-essential under PECR. We will only set them if you consent. You may withdraw consent at any time through cookie settings or by clearing cookies in your browser and revisiting the site to decline. Where analytics providers process data outside the United Kingdom, we apply appropriate transfer safeguards as described in our Privacy Policy.

3.4 Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant messages about our services or to measure campaign effectiveness if we run digital campaigns. PROPER WEB LTD primarily serves business clients and may not deploy extensive advertising cookies. If marketing cookies are introduced, they will be disclosed in this Policy and will require consent before being set. We will not use marketing cookies to track you across unrelated third-party sites without a lawful basis and clear notice.

4. Cookie inventory

The following inventory describes typical cookies that may be used on https://properweb.cloud. Exact names and durations may change as we update the site; we will revise this Policy when material changes occur.

Consent preference cookie: purpose is to record whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies; category is strictly necessary for storing the choice; typical duration up to twelve months; first-party.

Session continuity cookie: purpose is to maintain a stable session while browsing; category strictly necessary; duration session; first-party.

Security or rate-limiting cookie: purpose is to protect forms and infrastructure; category strictly necessary; duration session or short-term persistent; first-party or security provider.

Analytics identifier cookie: purpose is to distinguish unique visits in aggregate statistics; category analytics; duration as configured by the analytics tool, often from one day to twenty-four months; set only with consent; may be first-party or third-party.

If we introduce additional cookies, we will update this inventory and, where required, renew consent for material new purposes.

5. Legal basis and PECR

For strictly necessary cookies, we rely on the PECR exemption for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide an information society service requested by the subscriber or user, together with legitimate interests or legal obligation under UK GDPR for related processing of personal data.

For analytics, preference and marketing cookies that are not strictly necessary, we rely on consent under PECR and UK GDPR. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, indicated by a clear affirmative action. Pre-ticked boxes are not used. Silence does not constitute consent. You may refuse without detriment to accessing the core informational content of https://properweb.cloud, although non-essential features may be limited.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal. After withdrawal we will stop setting new non-essential cookies and will not read previously set non-essential cookies for non-essential purposes, subject to technical limitations of browser storage until cleared.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through settings. You can usually configure the browser to notify you before a cookie is placed. Managing cookies varies by browser and device. Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, may prevent https://properweb.cloud from functioning correctly.

You may also use industry tools where available to opt out of certain analytics or interest-based advertising technologies. Such tools are operated by third parties and are outside our control. For assistance related to our site specifically, contact assist@properweb.cloud or telephone +44 7245 678901.

7. Do Not Track and global privacy controls

Some browsers offer Do Not Track signals or global privacy control mechanisms. Because there is no consistent legal or industry standard for interpreting all such signals across every technology we might use, our cookie banner and preference centre remain the primary method for managing non-essential cookies on https://properweb.cloud. Where we implement recognition of a recognised browser privacy signal in the future, we will update this Policy.

8. Third-party cookies and embedded content

Pages on https://properweb.cloud may embed fonts, maps, video or other content delivered by third parties, including Google Fonts used to present Archivo Narrow, Mulish and Oxygen Mono. Requests to third-party servers may expose your IP address to those providers under their privacy policies. Where embedding would set non-essential cookies, we will seek consent or use privacy-respecting configurations where available.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie notices of third-party providers. PROPER WEB LTD is not responsible for third-party cookie practices beyond our contractual and legal obligations when we engage them as processors or when they act as independent controllers.

9. Retention of cookie data

Cookie lifetimes are set according to purpose. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies expire on the date encoded in the cookie or earlier if you delete them. Backend analytics datasets derived from cookies are retained only as long as needed for reporting and then deleted or aggregated. Consent records may be retained to demonstrate PECR compliance.

Our broader retention approach for personal data is described in the Privacy Policy applicable to PROPER WEB LTD at 66 Paul Street, LONDON, EC2A 4NA United Kingdom.

10. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in cookies used on https://properweb.cloud, changes in law, or changes in our services. The current version will always be published on this page. If we introduce new types of non-essential cookies, we will request fresh consent where required by PECR.

11. Contact

Questions about cookies should be sent to PROPER WEB LTD, 66 Paul Street, LONDON, EC2A 4NA United Kingdom, email assist@properweb.cloud, telephone +44 7245 678901, website https://properweb.cloud.

12. Further practical guidance for visitors

If you access https://properweb.cloud from a shared device, remember that persistent cookies may remain available to subsequent users of that device until cleared. We recommend logging out of any private sessions and clearing cookies after using a shared computer, especially in public spaces.

If you are responsible for a corporate browser environment with cookie restrictions, note that strictly necessary cookies may still be required for preference storage and security. Your information technology department can allowlist https://properweb.cloud if policies block third-party resources needed for fonts or analytics after consent.

Employees of client organisations who visit our site in a professional capacity should follow their employer’s acceptable use policies. Personal data submitted through our contact channels is handled under our Privacy Policy and, where a contract follows, under the data protection clauses of our commercial terms governed by the laws of England and Wales.

PROPER WEB LTD operates in the industry of computer systems design and related services, including IT consulting and software development. Cookies on our marketing site are intended to support a clear, secure and measurable presentation of those services, not to create detailed profiles of individuals unrelated to our business purpose.

Where you have accepted analytics cookies and later withdraw consent, newly collected analytics will stop. Historical aggregated reports that no longer identify you may remain. If you believe analytics data still identifies you and you wish to exercise a UK GDPR right, contact assist@properweb.cloud with sufficient detail for us to locate relevant records.

This Cookie Policy is provided in English for audiences engaging with a United Kingdom company. If you require clarification of any term, please contact us before enabling non-essential cookies.

13. Relationship with website features

Certain features of https://properweb.cloud, such as sticky navigation labelled ABOUT M01, SERVICES M02, PORTFOLIO M03 and CONTACT M04, do not themselves require analytics cookies. They are delivered as standard HTML and CSS. Cookie technology is separate from the visual design system and exists only for the functional and measurement purposes described above.

Forms that invite you to verify fit or request a consultation transmit the information you choose to provide. Transmission security depends on transport encryption and server controls rather than marketing cookies. Compulsory fields should be completed accurately; optional fields should be left blank if you prefer data minimisation.

14. Children and cookies

Our website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly set cookies to profile children. If you believe we have collected personal data from a child via cookies or forms, contact assist@properweb.cloud so that we can delete the data where appropriate.

15. Accountability and reviews

PROPER WEB LTD reviews cookie usage periodically, particularly when deploying new scripts, redesigning pages, or engaging new vendors. Reviews consider PECR consent requirements, UK GDPR data minimisation, and transfer risk for any provider outside the United Kingdom. Findings may lead to removal of unnecessary cookies, configuration changes, or updates to this Policy.

Documentation of consent interfaces is retained to demonstrate that non-essential cookies are not set before consent. Server-side tagging or privacy-oriented analytics configurations may be used where they reduce personal data exposure while still informing improvements to our site.

16. Summary for quick reference

Strictly necessary cookies: always active for core function and consent storage. Preference cookies: only with consent if not necessary. Analytics cookies: only with consent. Marketing cookies: only with consent if used. Control methods: cookie banner, browser settings, and contact via assist@properweb.cloud or +44 7245 678901. Company: PROPER WEB LTD, 66 Paul Street, LONDON, EC2A 4NA United Kingdom. Site: https://properweb.cloud. Law: England and Wales, United Kingdom, PECR and UK GDPR.

17. Consent records and evidence

PROPER WEB LTD keeps records of cookie consent interactions where technically available, including the timestamp of your choice and the version of this Cookie Policy in force at that time. These records help us demonstrate compliance with PECR and UK GDPR. Consent records are retained for a period proportionate to compliance needs and then deleted or anonymised.

If you clear cookies, your stored preference may be lost and the banner may appear again. That is expected behaviour. Re-consenting or declining creates a new record. Questions about consent records may be sent to assist@properweb.cloud.

18. Server-side and cookieless measurement

Where feasible, we may use privacy-preserving measurement approaches that reduce reliance on device identifiers. Such approaches still require transparency. If a measurement method stores or accesses information on your device in a manner regulated by PECR, we will treat it according to the cookie categories in this Policy and seek consent where required.

Aggregated statistics that do not identify individuals may be retained for longer to inform improvements to https://properweb.cloud content about our computer systems design, IT consulting and software development services.

19. Changes to third-party providers

We may change analytics or security providers from time to time. Material changes that introduce new non-essential cookies will be reflected in this Policy and, where required, in a renewed consent request. Provider changes for strictly necessary security tooling may occur without consent where PECR exemptions apply, with transparency updates published on this page.

PROPER WEB LTD remains responsible for selecting providers carefully and for contractual protections where providers act as processors. Our address for correspondence is 66 Paul Street, LONDON, EC2A 4NA United Kingdom. Telephone +44 7245 678901.

20. Accessibility of cookie information

We aim to present cookie information clearly. If you need this Cookie Policy in an alternative format, contact assist@properweb.cloud. Browser-based cookie controls remain available independently of our banner. Enterprise device management policies may override individual cookie settings; speak with your organisation’s IT team if that applies.

21. Storage duration examples

As a practical illustration, a consent preference cookie on https://properweb.cloud may persist for up to twelve months so that PROPER WEB LTD does not repeatedly interrupt your reading of legal or service pages. A session security token typically expires when you close the browser. An analytics cookie, if consented to, may last from twenty-four hours to twenty-four months depending on the provider configuration we select for aggregated reporting.

These examples are illustrative. Always refer to the live cookie inventory and banner for current names and durations. Changes will be reflected in this Cookie Policy. For clarification write to assist@properweb.cloud or call +44 7245 678901. Our postal address remains 66 Paul Street, LONDON, EC2A 4NA United Kingdom.

22. Corporate device considerations

If you browse from a managed corporate device, endpoint software may block third-party cookies or clear storage on exit. In that case, preference cookies may not persist and the consent banner may reappear. That behaviour is controlled by your organisation, not by PROPER WEB LTD. You can still read all core informational content about our computer systems design, IT consulting and software development services without enabling analytics cookies.
