Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
OnlineSPSS uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain the functionality and security of our website, understand how visitors interact with our services, and evaluate the performance of our advertising activities.
We respect your privacy and believe that you should have clear information and meaningful choices about the technologies used when you visit our website.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, how third-party services may use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit them.
They help websites remember information about your visit, maintain essential functions, understand usage patterns, and support certain analytical or advertising activities.
Some cookies are placed directly by the website you visit (first-party cookies), while others may be placed by external services integrated into the website (third-party cookies).
We may also use related technologies, including browser storage and tracking tags, which are addressed under this policy where relevant.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Depending on the website features and services enabled, OnlineSPSS uses or may use the following categories.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for essential website functionality and security.
They may support:
- Website navigation and essential operations.
- Security and protection against unauthorized activity.
- Form functionality where necessary.
- Remembering your cookie consent preferences.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent where an applicable legal exemption applies.
They are not used for unrelated advertising purposes.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies support optional website features and user preferences.
They may remember certain selections or enable enhanced functionality provided by integrated services.
Where required by applicable law, these cookies are activated only after you provide the necessary consent.
Disabling optional functional cookies may affect some website features.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website.
Analytics technologies may help us evaluate:
- Website traffic and page visits.
- Navigation and visitor interactions.
- General website performance.
- Sources of website visits.
- How visitors use our enquiry and service pages.
This information supports improvements to our website and service experience.
Where consent is required, analytics cookies will be used only in accordance with your choices.
3.4 Advertising Cookies
OnlineSPSS uses Google Ads to promote its statistical consultancy services and measure advertising performance.
Depending on the enabled features, advertising technologies may help us understand advertisement interactions, measure conversions, and support advertising personalization or remarketing.
Where applicable law requires consent, advertising cookies and related technologies will be subject to that consent.
Visitors may reject advertising cookies without losing access to the ordinary informational content of our website.
4. CookieYes Consent Management
Our website uses CookieYes to provide a cookie-consent banner and preference settings. Where required, visitors can Accept All, Reject All non-essential cookies or Customize categories without being required to consent as a condition of viewing ordinary website content.
The Cookie Settings link remains available so visitors can later review choices or withdraw consent. Strictly necessary technologies remain available where an applicable exemption applies.
For visitors subject to UK or relevant European consent rules, non-essential cookies and tracking that require consent are blocked until a valid affirmative choice is obtained.
5. Third-Party Technologies
Our website uses or may integrate the following services.
Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 is used to measure website traffic and interactions.
Information processed may include device information, website events, approximate location, and technical identifiers, depending on the configuration and consent choices.
Google Ads
Google Ads supports advertising campaign management and conversion measurement.
Where enabled and legally permitted, Google advertising features may use cookies or related technologies to assess advertising effectiveness and support personalized advertising.
Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager helps manage the deployment of website measurement and tracking technologies.
Google Tag Manager itself is primarily a tag management system. Cookies or other tracking technologies may be used by the services deployed through it.
CookieYes
CookieYes manages cookie preferences and may store information necessary to remember and demonstrate visitors’ consent choices.
Online Forms
Our website uses 123orderform.com to support project enquiries and research file submissions.
Embedded forms or related external services may involve additional technical storage or cookies, depending on their configuration.
Relevant cookies identified through the website’s cookie scan will be included in the cookie declaration.
External providers may process information under their respective privacy policies and applicable contractual arrangements.
6. Google Consent Mode v2
Our CookieYes setup communicates the applicable consent choices to Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads through Google Consent Mode v2. It uses the relevant analytics, advertising and personalization consent signals to govern supported tags.
Consent Mode configuration can affect whether Google tags run before consent and whether cookieless signals are transmitted. The site should use a configuration appropriate for applicable laws and actual disclosures; Google Consent Mode does not by itself make an otherwise non-compliant use of tracking lawful.
7. Cookie Details and Duration
Session cookies generally expire when a browser session ends. Persistent cookies may remain until their stated expiration time or until deleted.
A detailed Cookie Declaration showing the cookies and similar technologies identified on this website, their providers, purposes, categories and durations is made available through our CookieYes Cookie Settings interface. This declaration is based on the verified live-site inventory and should be reviewed whenever website tags or embedded services change.
The declaration is updated as the active tracking and embedded services change. Specific cookie identifiers or expiration periods are not asserted in this text without a verified scan.
8. Managing or Withdrawing Consent
You may manage your cookie preferences using the Cookie Settings control available on our website.
Where applicable, this control allows you to:
- Review cookie categories.
- Enable or disable optional categories.
- Update previously saved preferences.
- Withdraw consent for non-essential cookies.
You may also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Blocking certain cookies may affect optional website functionality.
Removing cookies from your browser may also remove saved consent preferences, causing the consent banner to appear again.
9. Privacy Rights for International Visitors
OnlineSPSS serves visitors and clients in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and other countries.
Cookie and tracking requirements may vary depending on the visitor’s location and applicable law.
Where UK or European laws require prior consent for non-essential cookies, OnlineSPSS will apply the relevant consent requirements.
Where applicable US state privacy laws provide rights to opt out of certain targeted advertising activities, we will provide or honor the required mechanisms, including legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals where applicable.
Our cookie controls do not replace any additional rights available under applicable privacy legislation.
For further information about personal data processing and individual rights, please consult our Privacy Policy.
10. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website technologies, service providers, consent management arrangements, or applicable legal requirements change.
The latest version will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
We encourage visitors to review this policy periodically.
