Cookie Policy
Cookie Policy information is provided below to explain how CapitalPulse (capitalpulse.co.uk) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. Cookies help us deliver core site functionality, understand how our content is used, and support advertising that keeps the site running.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data, and our Financial Disclaimer, which sets out the informational nature of our finance content. If you have questions, please use our Contact page.
Cookie Policy: What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you browse a website. They can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by trusted third parties (third-party cookies). Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, while others help us measure performance, improve user experience, and deliver advertising.
Cookie Policy: The Types of Cookies We Use
We use different categories of cookies depending on the purpose:
- Essential cookies – required for core site functionality, security, and basic settings.
- Analytics cookies – help us understand site usage and improve content (e.g., aggregated traffic trends).
- Advertising cookies – used to show ads and measure ad performance (e.g., Google AdSense).
- Preference cookies – remember choices you make (where applicable), such as cookie consent settings.
Cookie Policy: Essential Cookies (Required)
Essential cookies are necessary to operate the website securely and reliably. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not function correctly. Because they are required for basic operation, essential cookies may be used regardless of other cookie preferences.
Cookie Policy: Analytics Cookies (How We Improve the Site)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our pages, such as which articles are most read, how long visitors spend on content, and whether visitors encounter errors. This data is typically aggregated and used to improve our editorial experience and website performance. We do not use analytics data to identify you personally.
Cookie Policy: Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
We may display advertising through Google AdSense and other advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this website and/or other websites. These cookies can help limit repeated ads, measure performance, and (where permitted) personalise advertising.
You can manage ad personalisation through Google’s settings: Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about Google’s use of data by visiting Google’s privacy resources.
Cookie Policy: Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control cookies in several ways. The most effective method is using our cookie consent banner (where available) to accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookie categories. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.
- Browser controls: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. If you disable cookies, some site features may not work.
- Device controls: mobile devices may offer additional tracking controls in system settings.
- Ad settings: manage personalised ads via Google Ads Settings.
Cookie Policy: Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages (for example, analytics and advertising providers). We do not control third-party cookies directly. We recommend reviewing the relevant third-party policies for more information about how they use cookies.
Cookie Policy: How Long Cookies Last
Cookies can be either session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until deleted). The duration varies depending on the cookie’s purpose and provider.
Cookie Policy: Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our website operations. When we make updates, we will revise the “Last updated” date below.
