DrawMeBot Cookie Policy

Last updated: 31 August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how DrawMeBot uses cookies and similar technologies on drawmebot.uk.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on a computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can allow a website to:

• remember information about your visit;
• maintain website functionality;
• remember preferences;
• understand how visitors use the website;
• improve website performance; and
• support advertising or marketing technologies.

The rules also apply to similar technologies that store information on or access information from a user’s device.

2. How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies to:

• make the website function correctly;
• protect the website from malicious activity;
• remember visitor preferences;
• operate contact or enquiry forms;
• measure website traffic;
• understand how visitors use pages;
• improve website performance;
• embed third-party content such as video;
• measure advertising performance; and
• support marketing campaigns.

The exact cookies in use may change as our website develops.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website or a service requested by the visitor to operate correctly.

They may be used for functions such as:

• website security;
• server operation;
• cookie-consent preferences;
• forms;
• session management; and
• other essential functionality.

Strictly necessary cookies do not normally require consent.

The ICO recognises an exemption from cookie consent where storage or access is strictly necessary to provide an online service requested by the user.

4. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website.

They may tell us things such as:

• how many people visit the website;
• which pages are viewed;
• how visitors arrived;
• how long visitors stay;
• what device types are used; and
• whether visitors experience technical problems.

Where analytics cookies are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated where the required consent has been provided.

5. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may allow additional website features to work or remember choices made by visitors.

Examples may include:

• embedded videos;
• maps;
• chat tools;
• preferences;
• accessibility settings; or
• third-party Event or enquiry tools.

Depending on how they operate, consent may be required before these technologies are activated.

6. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

We may use marketing technologies to understand the effectiveness of advertising or, in future, to show relevant DrawMeBot advertisements to visitors.

These could potentially include technology supplied by providers such as:

• Google;
• Meta;
• Microsoft; or
• other advertising platforms.

Marketing and advertising cookies will not be treated as strictly necessary.

Where required by law, they will only be activated after the visitor has consented.

7. Embedded Content

Our website may contain content supplied by third-party services, including:

• videos;
• social-media feeds;
• maps;
• review platforms; or
• other interactive content.

Those services may attempt to set their own cookies.

Where such cookies are non-essential, the content should be configured so that the relevant cookies are not activated until consent has been obtained where required.

8. Consent

For non-essential cookies, visitors should be given a genuine choice.

The ICO’s current guidance says websites must explain what cookies do and obtain consent for non-essential cookies. Consent must involve a clear positive action; simply continuing to browse the site is not enough, and non-essential cookies should not be set before consent.

Our cookie-control system should therefore allow visitors to:

• accept optional cookies;
• reject optional cookies; and
• manage their preferences.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent the basic website from functioning.

9. Changing Your Cookie Preferences

You can change or withdraw your cookie choices using the cookie-preference control provided on our website.

[ADD LINK OR BUTTON: Manage Cookie Preferences]

You may also be able to control cookies through your web browser.

Deleting cookies from your device may cause the website to ask for your preferences again.

10. Cookies Used On This Website

The specific cookies used will depend upon the plugins, analytics tools and third-party services installed on drawmebot.uk.

I would not publish a made-up cookie table here.

Instead, once the website is virtually finished, we should scan it and insert the actual list, for example:

Only include services that are actually installed.

11. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party providers may set cookies when their services are used on our website.

Those providers control their own cookies and may process information according to their own privacy policies.

We recommend reviewing the privacy information provided by those organisations.

12. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be:

Session cookies – deleted when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies – remain on the device for a set period or until manually deleted.

The duration of individual cookies will be included in the final cookie list where available.

13. Do You Have To Accept Cookies?

You do not have to accept non-essential cookies.

If you reject optional cookies, the core website should remain available, although some additional functionality may not operate.

14. Changes To This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if:

• website functionality changes;
• new third-party services are added;
• the cookies we use change; or
• applicable law or regulatory guidance changes.

The latest version will always be published on this website.
