This document contains the complete proposed visitor-facing wording for the cookie banner, preference centre and consent-related explanations, together with implementation requirements for the website. It complements, but does not replace, the Attop Group Cookie Policy and Privacy Notice. The cookie inventory and deployed behaviour must be verified before publication.

1. Your Privacy Choices

We respect your privacy and give you meaningful control over optional cookies and similar technologies used on our website. You can accept all optional categories, reject all optional categories, or choose which categories to allow. Strictly necessary technologies remain active where required to provide a service you request, secure the website or perform another function covered by a legal exception. Your choice will not affect your ability to browse ordinary website content.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Do

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, software development kits and other means of storing or accessing information on your device. Some support essential website functionality; others help us understand website use, remember optional preferences or measure advertising. These technologies can involve the processing of personal data, such as online identifiers or device information.

3. Legal Framework

Our consent controls are designed with reference to the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, applicable amendments under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Under PECR, storing or accessing information on a device generally requires clear information and consent unless a statutory exception applies. Where consent is required, it must satisfy the UK GDPR standard: freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, expressed by a clear affirmative action.

4. Your Choices at a Glance

Accept All: permits all optional cookie categories identified in this preference centre.

Reject All: declines all optional categories; strictly necessary technologies may remain active.

Customise Settings: lets you choose optional categories individually and save those preferences.

You may revisit your choices at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in our website footer.

5. Strictly Necessary Cookies — Always Active

These technologies are used only where they meet a relevant PECR exception, for example to transmit communications or provide a website function you have explicitly requested. They may support security, load balancing, form submission, session management and recording your privacy choices. Because a legal exception may apply, they are not controlled by an optional-consent toggle. We must still provide appropriate information and comply with UK GDPR where personal data is processed. We will not classify advertising or general-purpose analytics as strictly necessary merely because they are useful to us.

6. Functional and Preference Cookies — Optional

These technologies may remember non-essential preferences or enable additional features, such as optional embedded content or enhanced personalisation. Where no statutory exception applies, they are switched off until you consent. If you reject them, some optional features may not remember your choices or may require you to activate them each time.

7. Analytics and Performance Cookies — Optional Unless Exempt

Analytics technologies can help us understand aggregate traffic, popular pages, navigation patterns, performance and technical issues. Where consent is required, these tools remain off until you opt in. Certain limited statistical uses may qualify for a statutory exception if all conditions are met, including applicable transparency and objection requirements. We will identify any exempt use separately rather than treating all analytics as exempt. Rejecting optional analytics does not prevent normal use of the website.

8. Advertising and Marketing Cookies — Optional

Advertising technologies may measure conversions, support remarketing, attribute visits to campaigns and build audiences across websites or platforms. Where used, these technologies require the appropriate consent before they are activated. Possible providers, only if actually installed, include Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn and Nextdoor. We will not activate advertising pixels simply because a visitor submits a recruitment enquiry or uploads a CV. We will take steps to prevent personal application details and sensitive documents from being sent to advertising platforms.

9. Third-Party Content and Embedded Services

Certain optional third-party features, such as maps, videos or embedded social content, may set cookies or collect device information. Where consent is required, the content will remain blocked or display a privacy-friendly placeholder until the visitor chooses to activate it. Third parties may act as independent controllers for some processing; their privacy notices will be identified where relevant.

10. How to Give Consent

Consent is recorded only when you make a clear affirmative choice, such as selecting “Accept All” or enabling a category and selecting “Save My Choices”. Silence, inactivity, scrolling, pre-ticked boxes and merely continuing to browse are not treated as consent. Consent requests will use plain language and will not make refusal unnecessarily difficult.

11. How to Reject Cookies

Select “Reject All” on the banner or disable each optional category in the preference centre and save your choices. Rejecting optional technologies will not prevent access to standard website content. If a particular optional feature requires a cookie, we will explain that consequence without making access to unrelated services conditional on consent.

12. How to Change or Withdraw Consent

You can reopen the preference centre at any time using “Cookie Settings” in the footer. Change the category toggles and select “Save My Choices”, or choose “Reject All” to withdraw optional consent. Withdrawal applies prospectively and does not make earlier processing unlawful. We will stop further non-essential storage/access and take reasonable steps to stop related tracking; previously stored cookies may need to be deleted or expired as part of the implementation.

13. Preference Storage and Renewal

We may store a strictly necessary preference record to remember your decision and avoid asking on every visit. The website should record the consent categories, the date and time, the version of the information presented and an appropriate pseudonymous preference identifier where necessary. We will request a fresh choice when required, such as following material changes to purposes or vendors, or when consent is no longer valid. A reasonable review interval will be established based on current ICO guidance and actual implementation; no fixed renewal period is claimed here without verification.

14. If You Do Not Make a Choice

Until you make a choice, optional technologies requiring consent will remain disabled. You can continue to browse ordinary pages. If you dismiss the banner without selecting an option, this will not be interpreted as consent. The interface may remind you of your choices later without repeatedly obstructing access.

15. Browser and Device Controls

Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings. You may also have device-level privacy controls. These controls are separate from the Attop Group preference centre. Deleting cookies may remove your saved choice, causing the banner to appear again. Browser settings may also affect the functionality of certain website features.

16. Forms, Job Applications and CV Uploads

Our contact forms, employer enquiry forms, candidate registrations, job applications and CV uploads should remain usable without consenting to optional advertising or analytics cookies. Technologies essential for security, spam prevention or completing a requested form will be assessed individually against applicable PECR exceptions. Information entered into forms is governed by our Privacy Notice and any relevant Candidate Privacy Notice; accepting cookies is not consent to unrelated recruitment processing or marketing.

17. Direct Marketing Is a Separate Choice

Cookie consent is separate from permission to receive marketing emails, messages or calls. Accepting analytics or advertising cookies does not automatically subscribe you to marketing communications. Where marketing consent is required, we will request it separately and explain the relevant purpose. You may object to direct marketing at any time.

18. Consent Records and Accountability

We maintain appropriate records demonstrating the preferences selected where consent is relied upon. Access to consent records should be restricted to authorised personnel and retained only as long as justified. We will review the website’s cookie classification, vendor list and consent configuration when technologies are added or changed. We will assess processor/controller responsibilities and international transfer implications where relevant.

19. Cookies Used on This Website

Our Cookie Policy should contain an accurate, maintained inventory of cookies and comparable technologies actually used. For each relevant item, it should identify its name, provider, purpose, category, first- or third-party status, duration and whether consent is required. We will not publish an invented inventory. The developer must complete a live audit, including checks before consent, after rejection and after acceptance, across representative devices and pages.

20. Your Data Protection Rights

Where cookies or related technologies involve personal data, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability and rights relating to automated decisions, depending on the circumstances. These rights are subject to applicable conditions and exemptions. You may also withdraw consent at any time where consent is the lawful basis. Please see our Privacy Notice for more information.

21. Security and International Processing

We apply appropriate safeguards to information processed through cookie and consent technologies. Third-party providers may process information outside the UK. Where relevant, international transfers must comply with applicable UK data protection requirements and be explained in the Privacy Notice or Cookie Policy. We do not claim that all providers store data exclusively in the UK.

22. Updates to Cookie Settings

We may update these settings and explanations when the website changes, new technologies are introduced, or applicable law and guidance develop. Material changes to purposes or providers may require a renewed choice. The effective date will be updated when this document is revised.

27. Implementation and Publication Checklist

• Audit actual cookies, scripts, tags, local storage and third-party embeds on every relevant page, including application and CV forms.
• Classify each technology based on its actual purpose and any applicable PECR exception.
• Block all optional non-exempt technologies before consent; verify no premature network requests or cookies.
• Provide equally prominent Accept All and Reject All choices, plus Customise Settings.
• Use unchecked/off-by-default optional category toggles and a working Save My Choices button.
• Ensure withdrawal and changes are as easy as initial consent, through a persistent footer link.
• Store preferences securely, keep proportionate records and apply choices consistently.
• Prevent advertising and analytics tags from collecting form-field values, CV data or sensitive information.
• Publish an accurate cookie inventory with names, providers, purposes and durations.
• Test fresh visits, acceptance, rejection, custom choices, withdrawal, mobile devices and browser refreshes.
• Review accessibility, keyboard navigation, contrast, screen reader labels and responsive layout.
• Review contracts, transfers and privacy information for third-party providers.
• Confirm registered office and legal details against Companies House before publication.
• Arrange legal and operational sign-off before deploying the notice and consent controls.

Publication note: This is a complete drafted consent-settings text and implementation specification, not proof that the website already operates as described. All claims about active tools, exemptions, providers and consent behaviour must be verified against the live website before publication.
