Cookie Policy

Last updated: 3 May 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels — for simplicity we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

to keep you signed in to your Recognise Card account;
to remember your preferences (such as marketing choices);
to keep the Service secure and prevent fraud;
to understand how members use the Service so we can improve it.

3. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They include cookies that keep you signed in, remember the items you've saved and protect your account from unauthorised access. The Service will not work properly without these and they cannot be turned off.

Functional

These cookies remember choices you make (such as your county, marketing preferences or whether you've dismissed a banner) so that we can give you a more personalised experience.

Analytics

These cookies help us understand which pages and offers are most popular so we can improve the Service. The data is aggregated and we do not use analytics cookies to identify you personally.

Payment

Our payment provider sets cookies during the checkout process to securely process your payment and help prevent fraud. These cookies are required to complete a purchase.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us — for example our payment processor and analytics provider. These third parties are not allowed to use the cookies for their own purposes and are required to handle the data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies when you first visit the site, and change your mind at any time by clearing your browser cookies and reloading the page.

Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Please note that turning off strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Service from working — for example, you may not be able to sign in or complete a purchase.

For more information about cookies and how to manage them, see aboutcookies.org.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date below shows when changes were last made.
