Cookie Policy
Our cookie policy and how we use them
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies we use on APC Pathway Pro, why we use them, and how you can control them.
The short version: we set only the cookies needed to keep you signed in, take payments securely and stop automated abuse. We run no advertising or third-party analytics.
Our approach
The rules on cookies in the UK come from the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, known as PECR, read together with the UK GDPR. PECR requires us to tell you about the cookies we use and, for anything that is not strictly necessary, to get your consent before we set it.
We only set strictly necessary cookies
APC Pathway Pro does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or third-party analytics. Every cookie described below is needed to sign you in, take a payment securely, protect our forms from abuse, or remember a preference you have set. We do not build advertising profiles and we do not share cookie data with advertisers.
Local storage and similar technologies
As well as cookies, we store a small amount of information in your browser's local storage. This is not sent to our servers and is used only to remember your preferences on your device.
| Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
theme | Remembers whether you prefer the light or dark appearance |
cookie_consent_status | Remembers your response to our cookie notice so we do not ask again |
You can clear local storage at any time through your browser's settings for clearing site data.
Analytics and advertising
We do not currently use any third-party analytics or advertising service. We understand how the service is being used from our own server logs, which are described in our Privacy Policy.
If we introduce analytics in future, it will only load where you have given consent through our cookie notice, we will update this page before it goes live, and you will be able to withdraw your consent at any time.
Your choices
When you first visit the site we show a short cookie notice and record your response so that we do not ask again.
What accepting or rejecting actually does
Because everything we currently set is strictly necessary, it is exempt from the consent requirement under regulation 6(4) of PECR and cannot be switched off without breaking sign-in, payments or protection against abuse. Your choice is therefore recorded for the future: it governs whether we may set any non-essential cookie, such as analytics, if we add one. We would rather tell you this plainly than imply a control that does not yet do anything.
You can also control cookies through your browser, including blocking them or deleting those already stored. Bear in mind that blocking essential cookies will stop you being able to sign in or pay. Guidance for the common browsers is available here:
We honour Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals to the extent that they are relevant — since we set no tracking cookies, there is nothing for them to disable.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page whenever we add, remove or change a cookie, and the date it was last updated is shown alongside the contents. Where a change involves a non-essential cookie, we will ask for your consent before setting it.
