We use the term “cookies” to include similar technologies such as pixels and web beacons.

1. What Are Cookies?
The ICO says: Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that are downloaded onto your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. These files allow the websites you visit to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences, past actions and previous visits, so that your next visit is more useful to you.
Please note: Due to the Data (Use and Access) Act coming into law on 19 June 2025, this guidance is under review and may be subject to change. The Plans for the new and updated guidance page will tell you which guidance will be updated and when.
Cookies help websites to:
- Remember your preferences across sessions or devices.
- Record how you found the website and how long you stayed.
- Count visitors and measure engagement.
- Recognise if you’re logged in.
- Identify your approximate location and language preferences.
- Monitor website performance and user behaviour.
- Serve personalised adverts.
- Track whether marketing emails have been opened or links clicked.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.

2. How We Use Cookies
Some cookies are essential for the operation of our CESI.co.uk website. At CESI, we use cookies for the following purposes:
Site Performance, Access and Functionality
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools found on CESI.co.uk so you don’t have to reset them each time you visit. We also use these cookies to identify if you already have a user account and have logged in previously.
Analytics and Site Monitoring
We use cookies from several services to help us understand how our audience is interacting with our website. These cookies collect anonymous data on how users interact with our website, including page views, time spent, device and browser type, location, and referring sources. We use services such as Google Analytics to help us understand site usage and improve our content.
Personalisation
We use cookies to improve your experience of our site. These cookies help us tailor content and layouts to your preferences, such as remembering how you like to view pages or which sections of the site are most relevant to you.
Advertising
We may use cookies to deliver relevant adverts on our website and across other platforms,that we personalise to you. These cookies track non-identifiable user behaviour across sessions and websites, so they will not show any personal information.
Email Tracking (Pixels)
In some cases, our marketing emails contain tracking pixels. Pixels measure if someone has opened an email. They also measure what was clicked on to help us understand open rates and link engagement. You may wish to opt for the plain text version of emails if you prefer not to use this type of tool. Please note that these cookies and tools do not personally identify users. They are used for statistical and performance-monitoring purposes only.
