Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies are used on the Prowlex website, what types of cookies are employed, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. Last reviewed March 2026.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly and to provide information to website operators about how their sites are being used.
Cookies are stored in your web browser and are sent back to the website that placed them whenever you visit that site again. Depending on how they are configured, cookies may persist until you close your browser (session cookies) or for a longer defined period (persistent cookies).
It is important to understand that cookies cannot run programmes, deliver viruses, or access information stored on your hard drive. They contain only the specific data that was written to them when they were set.
The use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and, where applicable, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
2. How We Use Cookies
Prowlex uses cookies in a strictly limited and purposeful manner. Given the nature of this website as a static educational resource with no user accounts, no e-commerce functionality, and no personalisation system, the use of cookies is minimal.
The only cookies used on this website are those that are strictly necessary for its basic functional operation. These cookies do not collect personal information and are not used for marketing, advertising, or tracking purposes of any kind.
Specifically, cookies are used to remember your response to the cookie consent notice displayed when you first visit the website. This is a standard functional requirement to avoid presenting the consent notice on every page view after you have already responded to it.
3. Types of Cookies on This Site
The following table describes the categories of cookies employed on the Prowlex website:
| Category | Purpose | Duration | Used on This Site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for the website to function. Includes the cookie consent state storage. | Session / Persistent (up to 12 months) | Yes |
| Performance / Analytics | Collect anonymous data about how visitors use the website for improvement purposes. | Varies | No |
| Functional / Preference | Remember user settings and preferences to personalise the experience. | Varies | No |
| Targeting / Advertising | Used to deliver relevant advertising and track marketing effectiveness. | Varies | No |
| Social Media | Placed by social media platforms to enable sharing and embedded content. | Varies | No |
4. What We Do Not Use
Prowlex does not use any of the following on this website:
- Google Analytics or any equivalent third-party analytics platform
- Facebook Pixel or any other social media tracking mechanism
- Advertising network cookies or retargeting tags
- Session recording or heatmap tools
- Third-party audience measurement tools
- Cross-site tracking cookies of any kind
- Cookies that build a profile of any individual visitor
This reflects the core principle that Prowlex is a purely educational, non-commercial resource with no interest in tracking, profiling, or monetising user behaviour.
5. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, web browsers support a mechanism known as "local storage," which allows websites to store small amounts of data directly in your browser. Prowlex may use local storage in a limited capacity to support the cookie consent interface — specifically, to store your response to the cookie notice so that it does not reappear on subsequent page visits.
No personal data is stored in local storage. The data stored is limited to a simple preference flag indicating whether you have accepted or declined the cookie notice. This data is held locally in your browser and is not transmitted to Prowlex or any third party.
You may clear local storage at any time through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings.
6. Third-Party Services
This website uses Google Fonts, a service provided by Google LLC, to load typefaces via a CSS import declaration. When your browser loads the website, it may make a connection to Google's servers to retrieve font files. This connection may be logged by Google in accordance with their own privacy policies. Prowlex does not receive or process any data from this connection.
The website is hosted on web server infrastructure. Standard server access logs maintained by the hosting provider may contain technical data such as anonymised IP addresses, browser type information, and page request records for server administration and security purposes.
Beyond the above, no third-party services with cookie or data collection capabilities are integrated into this website.
7. Managing Your Cookies
You have the ability to manage, restrict, or delete cookies through your web browser settings. The process varies depending on the browser you use. General guidance for major browsers is outlined below:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Opera: Settings > Advanced > Privacy & Security > Site Settings > Cookies
Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. On the Prowlex website, disabling cookies will result in the cookie consent notice reappearing on each page visit, as your response cannot be stored without the use of local storage or a cookie.
For comprehensive guidance on managing cookies across different browsers and devices, you may wish to consult the resources available at aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org.
8. Your Consent
When you visit the Prowlex website for the first time, a cookie notice is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This notice informs you that only essential cookies required for basic site functionality are used and provides you with options to accept, decline, or learn more.
Strictly necessary cookies, as described in this policy, do not require your consent under UK PECR as they are essential for the operation of the website. However, we present the cookie notice as a matter of transparency and good practice.
Your consent preference is stored locally in your browser. You may withdraw or change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies as described in Section 7 of this document.
9. Changes to This Policy
Prowlex reserves the right to update this Cookie Policy at any time. Changes will be published on this page with a revised review date. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to remain informed about how cookies are used on this website.
Continued use of the website following publication of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy.
