Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how occupaid Ltd (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website https://www.occupaid.co.uk (and any subdomains or related sites).

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help websites function properly and provide information to site owners.

We only set non-essential cookies (such as marketing cookies) after you actively agree to them through our cookie banner. Simply continuing to browse does not count as consent. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the website footer.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Cookies allow us to:

• Make our website work properly (e.g. remember your preferences).
• Understand how visitors use our site (analytics).
• Improve your experience and deliver relevant content or job opportunities.
• Measure the effectiveness of our marketing.

We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage.

We use the following categories of cookies:

Specific Cookies (examples):

• _ga, _gid, _gat (Google Analytics) — Performance — Expires: 2 years / 24 hours
• session_id or similar — Strictly Necessary — Session duration
• occupaid-cookie-consent (local storage) — Strictly Necessary — remembers your cookie choice
• _fbp, _fbc (Meta Pixel) — Marketing — set only if you accept Marketing cookies

You can view a full list of cookies we use by accessing our cookie settings or contacting us.

If you grant Marketing consent, we use Meta Pixel, a tool provided by Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram). It may help us:

• understand whether visitors arrived after interacting with our advertising;
• measure actions such as enquiries and confirmed consultation bookings;
• measure the performance of our advertising.

Meta Pixel does not load unless you accept Marketing cookies. If you later withdraw consent, we stop sending data to Meta and remove Meta’s first-party cookies where technically possible. See Meta’s own privacy policy for how Meta uses this data.

Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies:

• Google Analytics / Google services
• Social media plugins (if used)

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please review their policies for more information.

• Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (e.g. 6 months to 2 years) or until you delete them.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:

• Our Cookie Banner — Click the cookie settings link (usually in the footer or banner) to accept, reject, or customise categories.
• Browser Settings — You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings:
  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
  • Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy

• Third-party tools — Sites like www.aboutcookies.org or www.youronlinechoices.com provide further guidance.

Note: Blocking all cookies may prevent you from using some features of our website (e.g. logging in or saving preferences).

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted here with an updated “Last Updated” date. We recommend checking this page periodically.
