Cookie Policy How this website uses cookies

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by CELTIC BOOKKEEPING AND ACCOUNTANCY SERVICES LTD (“we”, “us” or “our”).

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how personal information may be collected, used, stored and shared.

We aim to use cookies and similar technologies transparently and to provide appropriate choices where consent is required by applicable law. The specific technologies in use may change when website features, plugins or service providers change.

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device when you visit it. They can help a website remember certain settings, support functions, maintain a session or collect information about how a website is used.

Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags or scripts that perform related functions. This policy uses the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies where appropriate.

Some technologies are necessary for a website feature to operate. Others, such as certain analytics or advertising technologies, may require your consent before they are stored or activated.

Strictly necessary cookies

These support functions required to provide a service you have requested or to operate the website securely. Depending on the website configuration, they may help maintain a session, support security controls or remember your cookie choices. Where the applicable legal exemption applies, these cookies do not require consent.

Preference cookies

These may remember choices such as language or other website preferences. Whether consent is required depends on the purpose of the technology and the applicable legal rules.

Analytics and performance cookies

These may help website operators understand visits, page usage, navigation patterns and technical performance. They should only be activated in accordance with the applicable consent requirements and the preferences selected by the visitor.

Advertising and third-party cookies

If advertising, embedded content or other third-party services are enabled, those services may use technologies to deliver their functions or measure interactions. We do not assume that such cookies are present unless the relevant service is actually installed and active on this website.

Depending on the features enabled, cookies or similar technologies may be used to:

• Maintain essential website functionality and security.
• Remember cookie consent choices and related settings.
• Support forms or other features that you choose to use.
• Understand website performance where analytics tools are enabled and permitted.
• Display third-party content or functions where these have been integrated into the website.

We do not use this policy to claim that a particular analytics platform, advertising network or embedded service is installed. The actual services must be confirmed from the website’s current configuration.

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should not be placed or activated before you have made a valid choice. You should be able to accept or reject non-essential categories without being forced to accept them to access ordinary website content.

If a cookie preference tool is provided on the website, you can use it to make or change your choices. Where the tool supports separate categories, it should explain those categories clearly.

You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal. Once consent has been withdrawn, the relevant non-essential technologies should no longer be activated, subject to the technical operation of the preference tool.

Closing a banner, continuing to browse or changing browser settings should not be treated as consent where the law requires an affirmative choice.

Certain website features may rely on services provided by other organisations. If such services are enabled, the provider may process technical information or use cookies and similar technologies in accordance with its own configuration and privacy documentation.

We will identify relevant providers in the cookie information or consent interface where appropriate. Third-party services should not be activated in a way that bypasses consent where consent is legally required.

External links may take you to websites that we do not operate. Their cookie practices are governed by their own policies, and we recommend reviewing those policies before using their services.

Cookies may be session-based or persistent. Session cookies are generally removed when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until they are deleted, depending on their settings.

The actual duration depends on the cookie’s purpose and configuration. We should not assign a universal retention period to all cookies.

The table above describes general categories, not a verified inventory of cookies currently stored by this website. A live cookie scan and review of the installed services are needed to publish exact cookie names, providers, purposes and expiry periods.

Most browsers provide settings to view, restrict or delete cookies. You may be able to block all cookies, block cookies from selected websites or remove cookies already stored on your device.

Browser controls are separate from any consent tool provided on this website. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect features such as forms, security functions or saved preferences. Browser settings may also not prevent every form of similar technology from operating.

For instructions, consult the help information for your browser, such as Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox or Safari.

We may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, the technologies in use or applicable requirements change. The published version should reflect the current website configuration and explain any material changes where appropriate.

If a change affects the use of non-essential cookies, the consent mechanism and related settings should be reviewed to ensure that visitors can make an informed choice where required.
