Cookie Policy

Last updated: 12 August 2026

This policy explains how DeskNearMe may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored or accessed on your device when you use a website.

1. Cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are used where necessary for core website functions, security, administration, login sessions, form protection or remembering a privacy choice. They do not require consent where the law treats them as strictly necessary.

Preference cookies

These may remember choices you make so the website can provide a more convenient experience.

Analytics cookies

If analytics tools are enabled, they may help us understand how visitors use DeskNearMe, such as which pages are visited and whether technical errors occur. Where consent is legally required, optional analytics cookies should not be set until that consent has been obtained.

Advertising or marketing cookies

The core DeskNearMe directory plugin does not itself add advertising cookies. If advertising, affiliate tracking or marketing technology is introduced elsewhere on the website, this policy and the site’s consent controls should be updated to reflect it.

2. WordPress and administration cookies

DeskNearMe runs on WordPress. WordPress can use cookies for logged-in users, administrators and certain preferences. Most public visitors do not need to log in to browse the directory.

3. Maps and third-party resources

Some pages use externally delivered mapping, map tiles, scripts, fonts or other technical resources. Even where a provider does not set a cookie, requesting an external resource can disclose technical information such as your IP address and browser details to that provider.

4. Your choices

If a cookie consent control is displayed on DeskNearMe, you can use it to accept, reject or change optional-cookie choices. You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

5. Current cookie configuration

The exact cookies present can change if WordPress, the active theme, hosting services or installed plugins are changed. We therefore review this page when material tracking or website functionality changes. If you have a question about a cookie you see from desknearme.co.uk, email hello@desknearme.co.uk with the cookie name and we will investigate.
