Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Atom Digital ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or use our online services. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a site, and support security. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and software development kits (SDKs) in apps or embedded content.

3. How we use cookies

We group cookies by purpose. Not all categories may be in use at all times; we will update this policy when our practices change.

• Strictly necessary — required for core functionality such as security, load balancing, remembering cookie choices, and (where applicable) keeping you signed in to protected areas. These cannot be switched off through our banner without affecting how the site works.
• Functional — remember settings you choose (for example language or form preferences) to provide a more personalised experience.
• Analytics and performance — help us understand how visitors use our site (pages viewed, errors, approximate location, device type) so we can improve content and performance.
• AI and product tooling — support intelligent features, diagnostics, and related services that rely on usage data to function properly.
• Marketing and advertising — may be used to measure campaigns or deliver relevant content on our site or third-party platforms, where we use such tools.

4. First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by us (or on our behalf). Third-party cookies are set by external providers whose tools we embed—for example analytics, video players, chat widgets, payment gateways, or social features. Those providers may collect information about your activity across sessions or sites according to their own policies.

We aim to use reputable suppliers and contractual terms that require appropriate data protection. The specific tools in use may change as our website evolves.

5. Cookie duration

Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them). Retention periods vary by purpose; consent preferences are typically stored for up to twelve months unless you clear them sooner.

6. Your choices and consent

When you first visit our website, we show a notice asking you to Accept our use of cookies as described in this policy. Accepting dismisses the notice and records your acknowledgement. Some cookies may still be used where they are necessary for the site, AI features, analytics, and our services to function.

You can clear cookies for this site in your browser at any time (which will show the notice again on your next visit), adjust your browser's cookie settings, or contact hello@atomdigital.london. Blocking cookies in your browser may prevent some features, including AI tools and analytics, from working as intended.

7. Browser and device controls

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. Mobile devices may offer additional privacy settings. Industry opt-out tools (where available in your region) may also limit certain advertising cookies. Instructions vary by browser; search for "manage cookies" in your browser's help resources.

8. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The "Last updated" date will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy where permitted by law.
