Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 June 2026
Effective date: 15 June 2026

This cookie policy explains how Onhold Studio Connect Ltd ("Onhold Studio", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at https://www.onholdstudio.co.uk/. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data more generally.

We use the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, as the framework for how we manage cookies.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and tags, and we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.

Cookies may be set by us ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services we use, such as Google ("third-party cookies").

2. How we ask for your consent

When you first visit our website you will see a cookie banner, managed through CookieYes, our consent management tool. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot work without them. All other cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, are only set once you give your consent through the banner.

You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie settings link on our website.

3. The categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the website to function and to remember your cookie choices. They do not require consent. This includes the cookie set by CookieYes to record your consent preferences.

Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics and Zoho PageSense for this. They are only set with your consent.

Advertising cookies
We use Google Ads from time to time to measure the performance of our advertising and understand which visits follow from our adverts. These are only set with your consent.

6. How to manage cookies

You can manage cookies in two ways:

Through our cookie settings. Use the cookie settings link on our website to change or withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will stop further non-essential cookies being set, though cookies already placed will remain until they expire or you delete them.
Through your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how parts of our website work. Guidance is available on the help pages of your browser.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or to the law. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
