Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 April 2025 · heirloom-desk.pro
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work as intended, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner about how the site is being used.
Cookies are not harmful to your device. They cannot carry viruses or install software. You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings, as explained in Section 5 of this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
The Heirloom Desk website uses a small number of cookies. We have kept this to a minimum in keeping with our approach to data handling. The cookies we use fall into two categories: strictly necessary cookies, which the site cannot function without; and optional analytics cookies, which help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies shared with third parties for commercial purposes, or cookies that build profiles of individual visitors for resale.

4. Third-Party Cookies
The Google Analytics cookies described above are set and managed by Google LLC. Google Analytics is configured on our site with IP anonymisation enabled, which means the last portion of your IP address is masked before any data is sent to Google's servers. We do not share data collected through Google Analytics with other parties.
Google's data processing practices are described in Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy. You may also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Our website may also include an embedded Google Map (on the homepage only) to show our office location. Google may set cookies in connection with this embed. You may view Google's cookie policy at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a notice will appear asking for your consent to analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are always active as the site cannot function without them. You may choose to accept or decline optional analytics cookies at that point.
You may also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Instructions for common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Please note that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including ours. Disabling cookies does not affect the personal data we hold from previous enquiries or enrolments.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new cookies or change the way we use existing ones. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be communicated via the cookie consent notice on our homepage.
