Cookies Policy

Last updated: please refer to the date shown on this page when you visit.

This Cookies Policy explains how Mizoho ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies on this website. Mizoho is based at 75D Roundhay Road, Leeds, LS2 0WQ, United Kingdom. We are the controller of the personal data processed through this site. We have written this policy to meet the requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit it. They allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences. Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, work in comparable ways, and this policy applies to them as well.

2. The Cookie We Set

We keep our use of cookies deliberately minimal. This website sets only one cookie of its own, described below.

Cookie name Purpose Duration Category
privacy_state Stores the consent choice you make in our cookie banner, so that we do not ask you again on every page and so that we respect your decision on later visits. 1 year Essential

We do not set any analytics cookies on this website. We do not use session cookies, security-token cookies or any other cookies beyond the one listed above. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent first.

3. Essential and Optional Cookies

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are those that are strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for, or to remember a choice you have made. Under PECR, these cookies do not require your prior consent. The privacy_state cookie falls into this category: it exists only to record whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies, and it cannot be switched off without losing that memory.

Optional cookies

Optional cookies are those that are not strictly necessary for the site to work. They include advertising and marketing technologies. Under PECR and the UK GDPR, we may only use optional cookies if you have given your consent first. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. Declining optional cookies will not limit your access to this website.

4. Advertising Measurement and Third-Party Cookies

We measure the effectiveness of our advertising only after you have given consent, and only on our confirmation page. In practice this means:

Third parties that provide advertising technology may set their own cookies once you have consented. We do not control those cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy information of the relevant provider. We recommend that you review that information if you choose to accept optional cookies. You can withdraw your consent at any time, as explained below.

5. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent

You are in control of your choices, and withdrawing consent should be as easy as giving it. You can:

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it.

6. Your Rights

Where cookies involve the processing of your personal data, you have rights under the UK GDPR, including the right to be informed, to access your data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have data erased, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability, in each case as the law provides. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in section 8. We will respond within one month, in line with the statutory time limit.

7. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we use cookies or handle your personal data, please contact us first so we can try to put things right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the supervisory authority for data protection in the United Kingdom. Details on how to raise a concern are available on the ICO website.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time, for example if we change the cookies we use or if the law changes. The current version will always be available on this page. Where a change affects your consent choices, we will ask you again before relying on the new arrangements.
