Cookie Policy

This document explains how Talome House uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit talome.info. It describes the types of cookies in use, their purpose, and how you can manage your preferences.

01

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember preferences, and collect data about how the site is used.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded within the site, such as analytics platforms or embedded maps. Cookies vary in their duration — session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period.

By accessing talome.info and accepting cookies through the consent banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this document. You may withdraw or adjust your consent at any time using the preference controls described in Section 05 below.

Set by:Talome House (first-party)

Legal Basis for Cookies

Talome House operates in compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR. Under these frameworks:

  • Essential cookies are placed on the basis of legitimate interest, as they are strictly necessary for the website to function. No consent is required for these cookies.
  • Analytics, functional, and third-party cookies are placed only where you have given active consent through the cookie banner. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

Consent is recorded in an essential cookie for up to 12 months so that the banner does not reappear on each visit. Your recorded preference does not include any personally identifiable information.

04

Managing Your Preferences

You have several options for managing your cookie preferences:

Cookie Banner

When you first visit talome.info, the cookie consent banner offers three choices: Accept All, Accept Selected, or Essential Only. Your selection is recorded and applied immediately.

You may reopen the banner at any time by selecting in the site footer.

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of the website. Guidance for managing cookies in major browsers is available from your browser's help documentation or from the ICO website at ico.org.uk.

Third-Party Opt-Out

For third-party cookies set by services such as Google, you may use the opt-out mechanisms provided directly by those services. Relevant links include Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com.

05

Amendments & Contact

Talome House may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in an updated document posted to this page with a revised date. Where the changes are material, the cookie consent banner will be re-displayed to visitors.
