Privacy & Data Protection
Cookie & Similar Technologies Notice
This notice lists every cookie and similar technology the IG-Smart website actually uses. It's based on our technology register, which is checked against the live site.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small files a website places on your device. Similar technologies do the same job in other ways: local storage and session storage keep small pieces of information in your browser, and scripts, tracking pixels, tags or link decoration can read or send information from your device. UK law (PECR) covers all of these, not just cookies.
What this website uses: cookies — none are set by this website for public visitors; local storage — 2 item(s); session storage — 5 item(s); other technologies — 2 item(s). Each is listed below with its storage type. Google may set its own cookies on its own domain only if an authorised reviewer chooses to sign in with Google.
Our approach
We use a deliberately privacy-first model for all visitors, wherever they are. Strictly necessary technologies are always active. Everything else is off until you make a positive choice. We don't use continued browsing as consent, and nothing is pre-selected.
We don't use advertising, marketing, session-recording or cross-site tracking technologies, and we don't use third-party analytics services. The website's fonts are served from our own site, so viewing a page doesn't send your details to a font provider.
Strictly necessary
These are needed to remember your choices, to keep page navigation working and, for authorised IG-Smart reviewers only, to keep sign-in working. They are exempt from consent because they are strictly necessary.
