See Me Please uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, secure, and improve our services. A “cookie” is a small text file placed on your computer or device when you visit our website. Cookies allow us to remember your actions and preferences (such as region selection) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the site. We also use related technologies like web beacons (small invisible images or code snippets) that help track user interactions and understand browsing patterns. This Cookies Policy explains how and why we use these technologies, and how you can manage your preferences.
We use the following categories of cookies on our platform:
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to your actions, such as logging in or filling in forms. For example, when you log into the See Me Please platform, we may use a session cookie to keep you signed in as you navigate between pages. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are required for basic site functionality (Because these are necessary for service, we do not require user consent to place strictly necessary cookies).
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, if our site offers an option to remember your accessibility preferences (such as dark mode or contrast settings) or language selection, a cookie may store that preference so that you have a tailored experience in future visits. Functional cookies may also remember your region or other customisations to ensure the website behaves as expected for you. These cookies enhance your user experience but are not strictly essential. In most cases, we will still ask your permission before setting these cookies, in line with legal requirements.
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve it. These cookies collect information about pages visited, time spent on the site, clicks, and other usage statistics. For example, we use Google Analytics (a popular web analytics service) to gather anonymous traffic and behavior data such as how users navigate our site’s pages. The information collected through analytics cookies helps us identify trends, troubleshoot issues, and make informed decisions to improve content and usability. All data collected is aggregated and anonymous – we do not use analytics cookies to personally identify you. Because these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will only set them on your device if you have given consent via our cookie banner or settings. (Tip: If you choose not to allow these cookies, certain analytical insights will be lost, but the core functionality of the site will remain unaffected.)
These cookies are used to track browsing habits and activity across our site and potentially others, in order to tailor marketing content. For example, if See Me Please engages in advertising on platforms like Google Ads or LinkedIn, these cookies might record that you visited our site and what content you viewed, so that we can measure the effectiveness of our ads or show you relevant sponsored content on other platforms. We may also use social media cookies in cases where our site integrates with social networks – for instance, a “Share” or “Like” button could set a cookie that the social network can use to record your interaction. We do not currently use intrusive advertising cookies that profile your behavior for targeted ads; however, if this changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent. By default, we will not set marketing cookies unless you explicitly enable them. Declining these cookies will not affect the core functionality of See Me Please’s site.
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that we use. For example, because we use Google Analytics, Google may set its own cookies (_ga, _gid, etc.) to help collect analytic information. Similarly, if we embed video content or integrate a third-party tool, those providers might set cookies. Any third-party cookie usage on our site will be disclosed, and we will provide links to the third party’s own privacy/cookie policies for more information. We ensure that no third-party cookies (aside from those strictly necessary for service functionality) are deployed without your consent. We periodically review the third-party cookies in use to maintain an updated list in this policy.
Upon your first visit to our site (and periodically thereafter), you will see a cookie consent banner. We use this to obtain your preferences in compliance with UK law – non-essential cookies are disabled by default until you opt-in. You can at any time choose to accept or reject different categories of cookies (except strictly necessary ones). If you consented and later change your mind, you have the following options to manage cookies:
Cookie Settings on Our Site If our website offers a “Cookie Settings” tool or preferences center (linked usually in the footer or within the banner), you can revisit that at any time to adjust which cookies are active. We make sure that giving or withdrawing consent is as easy as the initial consent action.
Browser Settings You can also control cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, disable, or delete cookies. For instance, you can typically refuse all cookies, or accept only certain types. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. Please note that disabling all cookies (especially “Strictly Necessary” ones) through your browser may impact the functionality of our site – for example, you may not be able to log in or use certain features if cookies are entirely blocked. For more information on how to manage cookies in popular browsers, you can refer to guides provided by AllAboutCookies.org or your browser’s support pages.
Do Not Track & Other Tools Our site honors the choices you make through our cookie consent tool. If you have enabled “Do Not Track” on your browser, it will not override cookie settings but serves as an additional privacy preference. We treat any personal data collected by cookies in accordance with our Privacy Policy, and you can also use browser extensions or opt-out tools (like the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on) to further control tracking.
Cookies may be “session cookies” (which are deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain until they expire after a defined period or you remove them). In our Cookies settings interface, we will inform you about the lifespan of key cookies in use. For example, our session authentication cookie lasts only for your session, while a cookie remembering your preferences might persist for several months. Analytics cookies like Google’s typically last up to 12 months by default in the UK/EEA. We regularly review our cookie lifespans and ensure they are not kept longer than necessary.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or to comply with legal requirements. The “last updated” date at the top will indicate when the latest changes were made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. If we make significant changes, we may also notify users via a prominent notice on our site. By continuing to use our website after any changes, you acknowledge the updated policy.
