This Cookie Policy explains how Pulsar Web Works (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at https://pulsarwebworks.co.uk. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. “First-party” cookies are set by us; “third-party” cookies are set by other services we use. We also use similar technologies such as local and session storage, which work in much the same way.
How we use cookies
In short: essential cookies to make the site work, and — only if you agree — analytics. That’s it.
We keep it simple and honest:
- Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working, secure and fast. These are always on because the site can’t function properly without them.
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) help us see how the site is used so we can improve it. These only run if you accept them.
We do not use advertising, marketing or tracking cookies, and we don’t sell or share your data for anyone else’s marketing.
How to control cookies
When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you Accept, Reject, or set your Preferences by category. Strictly necessary cookies can’t be switched off, as the site needs them. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in our footer.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings — see the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with Google’s opt-out browser add-on. If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the site may not work as well.

We do not use Flash cookies, and we do not serve targeted advertising.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for legal reasons. The “last updated” date above shows when it last changed.
