Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 8 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Mikilyuto uses them on Mikilyuto.com, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly. The use of cookies on our website is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) as well as the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our cookie consent tool allows you to manage your preferences at any time.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how their site is being used. Cookies set by the website operator are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies". Cookies may be "session cookies", which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies", which remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted manually.
Categories of Cookies We Use
We use cookies in the following categories. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the operation of the website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, security, and access to secure areas of the site. These cookies do not require your consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary for the delivery of a service you have requested. Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent preferences. These cookies improve the experience of using the website by personalising it based on your prior interactions. Analytical cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter any errors. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the website. Performance cookies may be used to understand and analyse the performance of the website. Analytical and performance cookies require your consent before being set. We do not currently use advertising or targeting cookies on this website.
Specific Cookies Used
The following describes the specific cookies currently in use on Mikilyuto.com. The cookie named "mik_consent" is a first-party, persistent cookie with a duration of 12 months. It stores your cookie consent preferences so that the consent notice is not displayed on every page visit. This cookie is strictly necessary for the operation of the consent management system. Session management cookies may be set to maintain the state of your current browsing session. These are deleted when you close your browser. Where we use a third-party analytics service, that provider may set its own cookies on your device, subject to your consent. Details of third-party cookies, including their names, purposes, and durations, will be listed here as they are introduced. We keep this list under review and update it when our cookie usage changes.
Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit Mikilyuto.com, a cookie consent notice is displayed. You may accept all cookie categories, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. Your selection is stored in the "mik_consent" cookie and applied consistently during your visits. You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings option available on the website. In addition to our consent tool, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through the browser settings. You can typically find cookie controls under the Privacy, Security, or Advanced settings of your browser. You may be able to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or receive a notification when a cookie is set. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functioning of the website. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available at the browser developer's support pages.
Third-Party Cookies and Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. When you follow a link to an external website, that website may set its own cookies, which are subject to its own cookie policy. We have no control over third-party cookies and accept no responsibility for their use. Where we embed third-party content such as maps from Google Maps, that service may set cookies subject to Google's own privacy and cookie policies. Our website includes a Google Maps embed on the contact page. You may wish to review Google's privacy policy at google.com/policies/privacy if you have questions about cookies set by that service.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or other operational changes. When we update this policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date shown at the top of this page. Where changes are material, we will update the cookie consent notice to ensure you have an opportunity to review your preferences in light of the updated information. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. If you have questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected] or write to us at 101 Whitehouse Ln, South Yorkshire, Sheffield S6 2UY.
