Cookies Policy
Last updated: 20 June 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Franchise Hunt uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) when you visit www.franchisehunt.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, store small amounts of data in your browser. They allow a site to remember your actions and preferences and to function correctly.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the Service to work and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include:
- authentication and session cookies that keep you signed in to your account, partner portal or admin area;
- security cookies, such as those used to protect forms against cross-site request forgery (CSRF);
- anti-bot and anti-spam protection on our forms (provided by a third-party security service), which may set a cookie to tell genuine visitors from automated abuse.
Because these are essential to providing a service you have requested, they do not require consent.
3. Functional storage
We use browser local storage to remember preferences you set, such as your light or dark theme choice and items you add while browsing. This information stays in your browser and helps personalise your experience.
4. Analytics and error monitoring
We use a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool to understand overall site usage. Because it sets no cookies and does not identify you or track you across sites, it does not require your consent. We may additionally use a more detailed analytics tool that does set cookies; this is loaded only after you opt in, and any data it collects is used in aggregate.
We also use an error-monitoring service that records technical details when something goes wrong (such as the page, browser and error), so we can diagnose and fix faults. This is used to keep the Service secure and reliable and does not capture the contents of your forms or build a marketing profile of you.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party providers we use to deliver the Service (for example hosting, content delivery or embedded media such as video players). These providers set cookies in accordance with their own policies.
6. Managing cookies
Most browsers let you view, manage, block and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Service from working, for example, you may be unable to stay signed in. You can also clear your browser’s local storage at any time through your browser settings.
7. Changes and contact
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, contact us at [email protected].
