Cookie Policy

We use cookies to keep our website working and to understand how it is used. Here's exactly what we set and why.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites function properly, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you navigate and use them. Cookies are not harmful programs; they cannot access other files on your device or carry viruses.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use four categories of cookies on sparkling.co.com. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. All other categories are only placed after you give your explicit consent.

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They manage session state, security tokens, load balancing, and your saved cookie consent preferences. No personal profiling takes place through these cookies.

Analytics

These cookies help us understand how visitors navigate our website: which pages are most visited, where users come from, and how they move through the site. This data is aggregated and anonymised. We currently use Google Analytics for this purpose. These cookies are only set after you give your consent.

Functional

These cookies remember your preferences to improve your experience, such as your language setting or your saved cookie choices. They do not track you across other websites or build a personal profile.

Marketing

We may use marketing tools in the future, such as LinkedIn Insight Tag, Meta Pixel, or Google Ads. Marketing cookies will only ever be placed after your explicit consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

Cookie Duration

The cookies we use fall into two duration categories:

  • Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies: remain on your device until they expire or you delete them, typically lasting from a few days to several months depending on their purpose

Third-Party Cookies

Some services embedded in our website may place their own cookies on your device. These are set and operated by third parties and are subject to their own privacy policies. Current third-party providers that may set cookies include:

  • Google: analytics and performance measurement
  • LinkedIn: professional content and networking embeds
  • Video providers: video embeds, where applicable

We have no direct control over third-party cookies. Please refer to each provider's own privacy policy for details of how they handle your data.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You are in control of which cookies are placed on your device. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or change your preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in our site footer.

You can also configure your browser to view, delete, or block cookies directly. Most browsers provide this option in their privacy or security settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how certain parts of our website function. For independent guidance on managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

Consent

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner giving you the choice to accept or decline non-essential cookies. We record your preference and honour it on every subsequent visit. You can withdraw or update your consent at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the page footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before withdrawal.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The most recent version will always be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
