1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Nodus Data uses, or may use, cookies and similar technologies on its website.
Nodus Data provides residential networking, Wi-Fi, Starlink and CCTV installation services across Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas.
We aim to provide a straightforward website experience while respecting your privacy. Where technologies are not essential to delivering the website or a service you have requested, we will obtain consent where required before activating them.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy , which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that websites can place on your computer, smartphone or other device. They allow websites to recognise a browser, remember certain preferences and support particular functions.
Some cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you remove them.
Similar technologies, including local storage and other browser-based storage mechanisms, may perform related functions. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies where relevant.
3. Cookie categories
Our website's cookie preferences interface distinguishes between four categories: strictly necessary, analytics, functional and marketing.
These categories explain the purposes for which cookies may be used. The presence of a category in the preferences interface does not necessarily mean that cookies belonging to that category are currently active.
| Category | Purpose | Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Essential website operation, security and requested functions. | Always active where required. |
| Analytics | Understanding website usage and performance. | Subject to applicable consent requirements. |
| Functional | Supporting optional features and enhanced functionality. | Subject to applicable consent requirements. |
| Marketing | Advertising, campaign measurement and related tracking. | Subject to applicable consent requirements. |
4. Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies support functions that are essential to providing the website or a service you have requested.
Depending on the website configuration, these may support security, authentication, protection against misuse or remembering privacy preferences.
Technologies that genuinely meet the strictly necessary exemption do not require consent under the applicable cookie rules. However, they must still be used appropriately and transparently.
The classification of a cookie depends on its actual purpose. A technology is not automatically essential simply because it improves website performance or benefits the business.
5. Analytics cookies
Analytics technologies can help website operators understand how visitors interact with a website, including which pages are visited and how the website performs.
If Nodus Data enables optional analytics technologies, the relevant cookies or similar storage mechanisms will be subject to applicable consent requirements.
Declining optional analytics cookies will not prevent you from browsing the website or submitting a home review request.
6. Functional cookies
Functional technologies may support optional website features, remember non-essential preferences or enable integrations with external services.
Where a functional technology is not strictly necessary for a service requested by the visitor, consent will be obtained where required before it is activated.
Disabling optional functional technologies may affect particular enhancements, but should not prevent access to the website's essential content.
7. Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies and similar technologies may be used to measure advertising campaigns, understand interactions with advertisements or support relevant advertising.
These technologies are not essential to providing the Nodus Data website. Where implemented, they will be subject to the relevant consent requirements.
You can decline optional marketing technologies without losing access to the website or our home review enquiry form.
8. Third-party cookies
Some website features may be provided through external services, including hosting, security, analytics or embedded content providers.
Depending on the services enabled, these providers may use cookies or similar technologies when visitors interact with their functionality.
Before optional third-party technologies are introduced, their purposes, providers and applicable consent requirements should be reviewed. The website's cookie information must be updated to reflect technologies actually in use.
9. How cookie consent works
When you first visit the website, you may be presented with a cookie banner explaining the available choices.
The website provides options to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or manage individual categories.
Where consent is legally required, optional technologies must not be activated before valid consent has been provided.
Consent must be freely given, informed and based on a clear positive action. Simply continuing to browse the website does not constitute consent.
Your preferences may be stored using an appropriate browser-based mechanism so the website can remember your selection.
10. Managing your preferences
You can review and change your optional cookie preferences using the Cookie Settings control in the website footer.
Where consent has been given, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Changes to your preferences should apply to the relevant optional technologies. Previously stored cookies may also need to be removed or allowed to expire.
11. Browser cookie settings
Most modern browsers allow you to review, block or delete cookies through their privacy settings.
You can usually control whether websites may store cookies, remove existing cookies and configure additional restrictions.
Blocking all cookies may affect some website functionality, including features that depend on essential browser storage.
Browser controls operate separately from the preferences available through our website.
12. Cookies and personal information
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal information, particularly where identifiers or usage information can be linked to an individual.
Where personal information is processed, the relevant requirements of UK data protection legislation also apply.
For information about how Nodus Data handles personal information, including information submitted through our Book a Home Review form, please read our Privacy Policy .
13. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when website functionality changes, new technologies are introduced or applicable legal requirements change.
Material changes to the use of optional technologies may require us to provide updated information and obtain fresh consent.
The latest version of this policy will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
