Cookies Policy
1. About this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how People Dynamix Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on www.peopledynamix.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. People Dynamix Limited is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under reference ZB545039.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files or similar identifiers stored on, or accessed from, your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, tags and scripts. They can help a website operate, remember choices, understand how it is used or support advertising and measurement.
3. How we use cookies and similar technologies
We may use the following categories. The exact technologies present can change as our website and suppliers change.
Category | Purpose | Consent |
Strictly necessary | Required for core website operation, security, network management, consent choices or a service you request. | Not normally required |
Analytics | Helps us understand website use and performance, for example page visits and interactions. | Required unless an exemption applies |
Functional / preferences | Supports optional features or remembers non-essential choices. | Required where not exempt |
Marketing | Measures campaigns, builds audiences or supports targeted advertising across sites or services. | Required |
4. Consent and your choices
When you first visit our website, our cookie banner should allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies, or manage your preferences. Technologies that require consent should not be activated before valid consent is obtained. Strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent where the law permits.
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time using the cookie settings or preferences control made available on the website. Withdrawing consent should be as easy as giving it. Changing your choice will not necessarily remove information already lawfully collected before the change.
5. Cookie banner wording
We use cookies
We use necessary cookies to make our website work. We would also like to use analytics, functional and marketing cookies to understand how people use our website, improve our services and, where applicable, measure our marketing. You can accept all optional cookies, reject optional cookies, or choose which cookies you allow. [Accept all] [Reject optional] [Manage preferences]
6. Cookie preference centre
•Strictly necessary - always active where required for the service or otherwise exempt.
•Analytics - off by default unless a specific legal exemption applies and its conditions are met.
•Functional / preferences - off by default where consent is required.
•Marketing - off by default until consent is given.
The preference centre should clearly describe each category, identify relevant third parties, and provide a persistent way to revisit choices.
7. Cookie inventory
The live website should maintain a current inventory of cookies and similar technologies. Before publication, and after material website changes, People Dynamix should run a technical scan and record at least the following details:
Cookie / technology | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
To be populated from live scan | People Dynamix / third party | Record the specific purpose in plain English | Relevant category | Session or stated lifetime |
Examples to check | Website/CMS, analytics, embedded media, forms, recruitment widgets, advertising platforms | Confirm each technology actually in use before listing it | As applicable | As applicable |
Do not copy a generic cookie list into the live policy. The inventory should match the technologies that are actually set or accessed on the website, including first-party and third-party technologies.
8. Third-party technologies
Some website features may be supplied by third parties, such as analytics, embedded content, forms, recruitment tools or advertising services. Those providers may set or access their own technologies when permitted. The live inventory and preference centre should identify relevant third parties and link to appropriate information where useful.
9. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Browser controls are separate from the consent choices offered by our website.
10. Personal information and cookies
Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information, particularly when combined with identifiers such as an IP address, device identifier or account information. We handle personal information as described in our Privacy Policy.
11. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when our website, suppliers, technologies or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on our website with an updated date. We should also refresh the live cookie inventory and consent configuration whenever technologies are added, removed or materially changed.

13. Implementation checklist
•Run a live cookie/technology scan before publishing the final inventory.

•Give Accept all and Reject optional choices comparable prominence and provide Manage preferences.
•Record consent choices and make the preference control easy to find later.
•Re-scan after website, analytics, recruitment-widget, CRM-form, advertising or embedded-content changes.
•Review the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy together at least periodically and after material changes.
