Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device and store information about your visit, preferences or actions.

We may also use technologies that perform similar functions, including local storage, pixels, tags, software development kits and device identifiers. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.

Cookies may be set directly by Spacelo, known as first-party cookies, or by another organisation providing a service through the website, known as third-party cookies.

2. How we use cookies

Spacelo currently uses only the technologies needed to operate and secure the website and to remember choices that you make.

Spacelo includes user accounts and features that allow members to save content and preferences. These features may use essential technologies to keep you signed in and provide the services you request. As Spacelo develops, we may introduce analytics, additional personalised features, advertising, affiliate services or other functionality that uses optional cookies or similar technologies.

Before a new cookie or service is introduced, we will review its purpose, provider and duration. We will update this policy and our cookie controls where necessary.

3. Cookie categories

4. Cookies currently used by Spacelo

The table below describes the categories currently expected to operate on Spacelo. It will be updated when additional services or named third-party providers are introduced.

Once third-party services are connected, this section should also identify the individual cookies or technologies used, their providers, purposes and retention periods.

5. Third-party cookies

Some future Spacelo features may be delivered by third-party providers. These could include analytics platforms, advertising networks, video or social media services, authentication providers, payment services and affiliate partners.

These organisations may set their own cookies or receive information from similar technologies when you use the relevant feature. Their processing will also be governed by their own privacy and cookie information.

We will identify relevant third-party providers in this policy or within our cookie preference controls once those services are active.

6. Managing your cookie preferences

When optional cookies are introduced, you will be able to accept them, reject them or select the categories you wish to allow through Spacelo’s cookie controls.

Essential cookies will remain active because they are needed for the website or requested services to operate.

You will also be able to change or withdraw your choices later. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before it was withdrawn.

Most browsers also allow you to view, remove or block cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of Spacelo or other websites from working correctly.

7. How long cookies remain on your device

Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you remove them.

The duration of each cookie will depend on its purpose. We will only retain cookies for as long as reasonably necessary and will provide specific durations when additional cookies are introduced.

8. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, services, providers or legal obligations change.

The latest version will always be published on this page. Where a change materially affects how optional cookies are used, we may ask you to review or provide your preferences again.
