Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, can also be used to store small amounts of information. They help websites function, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used.

2. Types of Cookies

• Essential cookies: necessary for the website to function and to remember your cookie preferences. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve it. These are only used where you have given consent.
• Functional cookies: enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. These are only used where relevant and, where required, with your consent.

3. Cookies We Currently Use

At present, our website uses essential cookies only. Your cookie consent preference is stored locally in your browser's local storage so that we can remember your choice and avoid showing the cookie banner on every visit. This preference is stored on your device and is not used to track you across other websites.

4. Analytics (Placeholder)

We may introduce website analytics in the future to help us understand how our site is used and to improve it. If we do, analytics such as Google Analytics would only be enabled where you have opted in through our cookie banner. This policy will be updated to reflect any such change before analytics are enabled.

5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage cookies in the following ways:

• Our cookie banner: when you first visit, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can clear your browser's local storage to be shown the banner again.
• Your browser settings: most browsers let you view, manage and delete cookies, and block cookies from being set. Please refer to your browser's help pages for instructions.

Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the website functions.

6. More Information

For more about how we handle your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at info@ascendlettings.co.uk.
