Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 14 May 2025

This policy explains how Thornmark uses cookies on thornmarks.site and how you can manage them. For questions, contact [email protected].

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser, remember certain preferences, and gather basic usage information. Cookies do not contain personally identifying information on their own; any identifying data is stored separately.

Cookies serve a range of purposes — some are essential for the website to function correctly, while others help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it over time.

2. Cookie Types We Use

Always on

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly. Without them, basic functions such as navigating between pages or recording your cookie preference would not work. They cannot be turned off.

Examples: session state, cookie consent preference

Duration: session or up to 12 months (consent preference)

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website — for example, which pages are visited most often and how long sessions last. This information is collected in aggregate and is used to improve the website. No individual is identified.

Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid)

Duration: up to 24 months

Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set to understand the effectiveness of outreach and to serve relevant information to visitors who have previously shown interest in our programmes. We use these with caution and only where consent has been provided.

Examples: advertising network tags

Duration: up to 90 days

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you have made, such as your region or display settings, so you do not have to re-enter them each visit.

Examples: language preference, region

Duration: up to 12 months

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this website are set by third-party services we use. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies:

We do not use social media sharing pixels or advertising network cookies by default. If this changes, this policy will be updated.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies fall into two duration categories:

  • Session cookies are temporary. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (ranging from 90 days to 24 months, depending on type) or until you delete them manually.
