Cookie / Tracking Policy

Effective date: 8 July 2026

Company Identity

The service is operated by SZLK LTD, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16843016, with registered office at 128 City Road, London EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. References to "SZLK", "we", "us", or "our" mean SZLK LTD unless a product-specific supplement states otherwise.

Applicable Products

This document is designed as the ecosystem-level legal text for SZLK products. A product may add a product-specific supplement for its service description, data flows, pricing model, content risks, or jurisdictional scope. If there is a conflict, the product-specific supplement applies only to that product and only to the extent of the stated conflict.

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies, local storage, pixels, SDKs, device identifiers, and similar technologies may store information on a user's device or access information from it. Cookie rules may apply even where the information is not directly identifying.

Necessary Technologies

Necessary technologies are used for security, authentication, session management, load balancing, fraud prevention, consent storage, checkout integrity, and features the user expressly requests. These may be active without optional consent where they are strictly necessary for the service requested by the user.

Analytics Technologies

Analytics technologies help measure product usage, performance, page views, feature adoption, errors, and user journeys. Where consent is required, analytics must remain disabled until the user actively opts in.

Marketing and Personalisation Technologies

Marketing or personalisation technologies may support advertising, attribution, cross-context tracking, campaign measurement, or personalised recommendations. Unless a product supplement confirms otherwise, SZLK's first shared position is that these technologies are off by default and not used for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Consent Standard

Where consent is required, it must be active, informed, specific, freely given, and capable of being withdrawn. Continued browsing, silence, pre-ticked boxes, or bundled consent should not be treated as valid consent.

Managing Preferences

Each product must provide a clear way to accept, reject, or manage non-essential technologies. The product may store consent choices and should allow users to change preferences without having to contact support.

Consent Records

Products may log consent version, timestamp, broad region, selected categories, anonymous or account identifier, and source page to demonstrate compliance. Consent logs should be retained only as long as needed for compliance evidence and audit.

Product Technology Table

The product-specific supplement must list material cookies or similar technologies, including provider, category, purpose, duration, and whether they are necessary or optional. If a technology is added or removed, the product must update the supplement before or at the time the change is released.

Third-Party Technologies

Third-party providers may set their own technologies when used for payment, security, authentication, analytics, hosting, or embedded content. Products should avoid loading optional third-party technologies before the user has made the required choice.

Browser and Device Controls

Users may also block or delete cookies through browser or device settings. Blocking necessary technologies may cause authentication, checkout, security, preference saving, or core features to fail.
