Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your device on subsequent visits and can store preferences or session information. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.

Similar technologies — such as local storage and session storage — may also be used for equivalent purposes and are covered by this policy.

2. Cookies we use

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the platform to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, setting your privacy preferences, or completing forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as maintaining a logged-in session — cannot be provided.

No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies.

• Session authentication: maintains your logged-in session (set by Supabase, our authentication and database provider).
• Security tokens: protects against cross-site request forgery.
• Cookie consent record: stores your cookie preference so you are not asked again unnecessarily.

2.2 Analytics cookies

The Featherstone Safety Hub platform (featherstonesafetyhub.co.uk) does not currently use analytics or marketing cookies. If this changes, this policy will be updated and your consent will be sought before any analytics cookies are placed.

On the Featherstone Safety blog and marketing site (featherstonesafety.co.uk), cookies are managed by Wix. You can manage your cookie preferences for that site using the cookie consent banner or settings displayed when you visit it.

2.3 Marketing and advertising cookies

We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies on this platform. If this changes, this policy will be updated and your consent will be sought before any such cookies are placed.

2.4 Third-party and embedded cookies

Some functionality on this platform may be provided by third parties. These third parties may set their own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies. Current third-party services that may set cookies include:

• Supabase: authentication and data storage. See Supabase Privacy Policy.
• Stripe: payment processing (on billing pages only). See Stripe Privacy Policy.
• Vercel: hosting and infrastructure. See Vercel Privacy Policy.

3. Your choices and how to manage cookies

3.1 Cookie preferences

Where we use non-essential cookies, you can choose to accept or decline them. You can update your preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of this website.

Declining non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to use the core platform. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as the platform cannot function without them.

3.2 Browser controls

You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• See what cookies are set and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block all cookies (note: this may prevent the platform from working correctly)
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

For instructions, visit the help pages of your browser:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

4. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified by a notice on the platform or by email to registered users. The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last updated.
