Cookie Policy

Last updated: 22 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Xanalys Ltd (“Xanalys”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on xanalys.org (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we handle personal information and the rights available to you.

Xanalys Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 06603135). This policy is designed to meet the requirements of the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the EU GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, and applicable US state privacy laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (“CCPA/CPRA”) and the California Invasion of Privacy Act (“CIPA”).

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide site owners with information about how visitors use their site. We also use related technologies such as tags, scripts, and local storage, which this policy refers to collectively as “cookies”.

Cookies may be:

• First-party — set by xanalys.org directly; or
• Third-party — set by another organisation (for example, Google or Cloudflare) whose technology we use on the Site.

They may also be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period).

2. Your consent

Except for strictly necessary cookies, we do not set any cookies on your device until you have given your consent through the cookie banner displayed when you first visit the Site.

You can:

• Accept all cookies;
• Reject all non-essential cookies; or
• Customise your preferences by cookie category, then select ‘Save My Preferences’.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Consent Preferences” button at the bottom left of any page. This reopens the cookie banner so you can update your choices or withdraw consent immediately. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

3. Global Privacy Control and opt-out signals

We recognise and honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal and other legally recognised universal opt-out signals. If your browser or browser extension transmits a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sharing of your personal information for the purposes of applicable US state privacy laws, and non-essential cookies will not be set.

4. The cookies we use

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function securely and cannot be switched off. The legal basis for these cookies is our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Site; consent is not required.

4.2 Functional / preference cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and remember choices you make. They are only set with your consent. If you reject them, some convenience features (such as remembered accessibility settings) may not work.

4.3 Analytics / performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site so that we can improve it. They are only set with your consent. We use Google Analytics 4, configured with Google Consent Mode so that no analytics cookies are set and no analytics identifiers are collected unless you consent.

Information collected by Google Analytics may be transferred to and processed by Google LLC in the United States, subject to the safeguards described in section 6 of our Privacy Policy. IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4. For more information, see Google’s privacy policy and how Google uses data from partner sites.

4.4 Advertising / targeting cookies

We do not use advertising or targeting cookies on the Site.

5. Third parties who receive data from this Site

The following third parties may receive data about your visit, in the circumstances described:

We do not sell your personal information for money. To the extent that the use of analytics cookies constitutes “sharing” or a “sale” under the CCPA/CPRA, you may opt out at any time via the cookie banner, the “Consent Preferences” button, or by enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser. Further detail about the parties we share personal information with is set out in section 5 of our Privacy Policy.

6. How to control cookies in your browser

In addition to the controls we provide, most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Guidance is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.

You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

7. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under data protection law, including rights of access, deletion, correction, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. California residents have these rights under the CCPA/CPRA and will not be discriminated against for exercising them. Details of these rights and how to exercise them are set out in our Privacy Policy.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or to legal requirements. Material changes will be indicated by updating the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, by re-presenting the consent banner.
