Cookie Policy
Last updated: 27 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how AuditVault ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at auditvault.co.uk. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
How we use cookies
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Sign-in sessions (provided by our identity provider, Clerk), security tokens and essential state management rely on them. We also store your cookie choice in your browser so that we do not ask again on every visit.
2. Analytics and Customisation Cookies
We use Google Analytics (cookies beginning _ga) to understand in aggregate how our website is used and how visitors find it. These cookies are set only if you accept analytics cookies. Until then, Google Analytics runs in consent mode: it stores nothing on your device and sends Google only basic, cookieless measurements. Google may process this data outside the UK. See our Privacy Policy and Subprocessors page for details.
3. Marketing Cookies
If you accept marketing cookies, we load the LinkedIn Insight Tag. It lets us measure the results of our LinkedIn advertising and show our adverts to people who have visited our website. LinkedIn sets its own cookies and receives your IP address and the pages you visit. Nothing is loaded until you accept, and LinkedIn may process this data outside the UK. We use no other advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Managing Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Non-essential cookies are off until you accept them in the cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through Cookie settings in the site footer. Withdrawing consent removes the analytics cookies already set and stops the marketing tag loading on later visits. You can also block cookies through your browser settings.
Since strictly necessary cookies are essential to deliver the website to you, you cannot refuse them. You can still block or delete them in your browser settings, but parts of the site, including sign-in, will then stop working.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
