Types of Cookies, Their Purposes and Your Controls · Rademeldor
How this research tool uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, and how you can manage your preferences.
What cookies are and how we use them
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator about how the site is being used. this research tool uses cookies for a number of purposes: to keep you signed in to your account, to remember your preferences, to understand how visitors navigate the site, and to ensure the service operates correctly across different devices and browsers.
We use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. We do not use cookies to track your activity across other websites or to build advertising profiles. All cookies we use are either strictly necessary for the operation of the service or are used for analytical purposes to help us understand and improve the site.
The types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as account authentication, session management and security. These cookies cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your ability to use the service. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited most frequently, where visitors come from, and how they navigate through the content. This information is aggregated and anonymised; it does not identify individual users.
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made — such as your cookie consent settings or display preferences — so that you do not need to make them again on subsequent visits. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. If we introduce any new categories of cookie in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, seek your consent before placing them on your device.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit the this research tool website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site — in particular, disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using features that require authentication.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete and block cookies from specific websites. Instructions for managing cookies in the most common browsers are available on the ICO website at ico.org.uk. If you have any questions about our use of cookies or would like to raise a concern, please contact us at privacy@this research tool.co.uk.
