Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on ideate.partners, and how you can control them.

1What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by us (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services we use (“third-party cookies”).

Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

2How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

• Ensure our website functions correctly
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
• Measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in our website footer.

3Essential cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require your consent.

4Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most visited, where visitors come from, and how they navigate the site. We only set these with your consent.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. Your full IP address is not stored. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

5Marketing cookies

We may use marketing cookies to understand the effectiveness of our campaigns and to show relevant content to people who have visited our site. These are only set with your consent.

HubSpot’s privacy policy is available at legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.

6Third-party cookies

Some pages on our website may include content or functionality provided by third parties. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. Third-party services that may set cookies include:

• YouTube / Vimeo — if embedded video content is present
• LinkedIn — if LinkedIn Insight Tag or sharing functionality is enabled
• Google Maps — if map embeds are present

7Managing your cookie preferences

You have several options for controlling cookies:

Our cookie banner

When you first visit our site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update these preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer of our website.

Your browser settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies, though this may affect how our website works. Guidance is available from Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge support pages.

Opting out of Google Analytics

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

8Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The current version will always be available at ideate.partners/cookies. Where we make significant changes, we will refresh the cookie consent banner so you can review and update your preferences.
