Cookies Policy

Effective date: 18 September 2025

1. Overview

This Cookies Policy explains how Tech-Text, operated by JUNGLE SAPPHIRE LTD (Company No. 15545389, registered office: 20 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU) uses cookies and similar technologies (for example localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels and other local identifiers) on our website and services. This Policy complements our Privacy Policy. By using the site or interacting with the cookie banner you can manage or give consent to non-essential cookies as described below.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or browser entries placed on your device when you visit websites. They help the site work (for example keeping you logged in), remember your preferences, measure and improve performance, and — with your permission — enable analytics and marketing features.

3. Categories of cookies we use

• Essential / Necessary — required for core platform functions (session management, login, basic security). These are strictly necessary for the site to operate and do not require consent.
• Functional — remember preferences and UI settings (language, layout, basic preferences).
• Performance / Analytics — collect aggregated usage and performance data (page views, errors, load times) to improve reliability. These may be set under legitimate interests or consent depending on the tool.
• Marketing / Advertising — used only with your consent: campaign attribution, remarketing, personalised content.
• Security / Anti-abuse — detect suspicious activity and protect the site and users from fraud, bots and abuse.

4. Typical cookies (examples)

The names, exact lifetimes and providers can change; current details are available in the cookie control panel on the site. Examples:

• session_id – Purpose: Keeps you signed in / session state • Category: Essential • Lifetime: Session
• csrf_token – Purpose: CSRF protection • Category: Essential • Lifetime: Session
• cookie_consent – Purpose: Records your cookie choices • Category: Functional • Lifetime: 6–12 months

5. Consent and lawful basis

• Essential cookies are used without consent because they are required for the operation of the service.
• Non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, marketing) are set only after you give consent via our cookie banner or settings, except where we lawfully rely on legitimate interests for limited analytics or security purposes.
• The legal bases we rely on include: performance of contract, consent and legitimate interests (for fraud prevention, service improvement and dispute defence).

6. How we record and retain consent

When you give consent we record: the consent text/version presented, an ISO 8601 timestamp, your IP and user-agent string as evidence of the choice. Consent records and related transaction/order evidence are kept for a minimum of 24 months and up to 6 years for enterprise or disputed matters, consistent with our Privacy Policy.

7. Third parties and international transfers

We use third-party providers (payment processors, hosting/cloud, analytics, customer support, marketing platforms) that may set cookies or similar identifiers. Some providers may operate outside the UK/EEA. Where personal data is transferred internationally we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy, Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent lawful transfer mechanisms. A current list of third-party providers and their purposes is available in the cookie control panel on the site.

8. How to manage or withdraw cookie consent

• Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings panel on the site to accept, decline or customise non-essential cookies.
• You may withdraw or change consent at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer.
• You can also remove cookies via your browser (clear cookies/site data) or use private/incognito mode — note that disabling or deleting some cookies may reduce site functionality (for example you may be logged out or preferences forgotten).

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy (for example when new integrations are added). Material changes will be notified by a prominent notice on the site or by email to registered users where appropriate. The Policy’s effective date will be updated.
