Last Updated: [7-nov-2026]
Welcome to Brisk Magazine (https://briskmagazine.co.uk/).
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how they may be used in connection with BriskMagazine.co.uk, and what choices visitors have regarding their use.
At Brisk Magazine, we believe that privacy and transparency are important parts of a trustworthy online experience.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about the handling of personal data.
Privacy Policy: https://briskmagazine.co.uk/privacy-policy/
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on a visitor’s computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device.
They help websites perform various functions, including maintaining sessions, remembering settings, providing security features, and measuring website activity.
Some cookies operate only while a browser session remains active, while others may stay on a device for a longer period.
Cookies can be created by the website being visited or by third-party services integrated into that website.
Their use depends on the technologies and features enabled by the website operator.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are one of several technologies that may store information on, or access information from, a visitor’s device.
Other technologies can include:
- Browser local storage and session storage.
- Tracking pixels and web beacons.
- Website scripts and tags.
- Device identification or fingerprinting technologies.
- Comparable storage and access mechanisms.
These technologies may serve different purposes and can be subject to privacy and electronic communications regulations.
The specific technologies operating on BriskMagazine.co.uk must be confirmed through an assessment of the website’s actual configuration.
3. Categories of Cookies
The following categories describe common uses of cookies on publishing websites. They do not confirm that Brisk Magazine currently uses every category.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support essential website functions or services specifically requested by visitors.
Depending on a website’s configuration, they may help with essential security features, session management, or communication between systems.
Certain strictly necessary technologies may qualify for an exception from consent requirements under applicable law.
A cookie does not automatically become strictly necessary simply because it is useful to the website operator.
Functional and Preference Cookies
Functional cookies may support features that remember visitor preferences or adjust the appearance and operation of a website.
Examples include remembering a selected display setting or user interface preference.
Under applicable UK rules, some qualifying appearance or functionality technologies may be used without consent if the required conditions are satisfied, including providing an appropriate way to object.
Other preference-related technologies may still require consent.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics technologies can help website operators understand how visitors use an online service.
For example, analytics may measure page visits, navigation patterns, or website performance.
Certain limited statistical-purpose activities may qualify for an exception under UK PECR, provided all applicable requirements are satisfied.
Such requirements include limiting processing to qualifying statistical purposes and providing clear information and a simple, free way to object.
Analytics used for individual tracking, advertising measurement, or other non-exempt purposes may require prior consent.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising technologies may be used to display advertisements, measure campaigns, or understand interactions with commercial content.
Some advertising systems may also support personalised advertising or cross-site tracking.
Where cookies or similar technologies are used for advertising purposes, applicable consent and transparency requirements must be followed.
This section does not indicate that Brisk Magazine currently operates an advertising network or personalised advertising system.
4. Cookies Used on Brisk Magazine
For transparency, the website’s actual cookie and storage technology inventory should be recorded below before this policy is published.
Verified Cookie Inventory: [—]
For each relevant cookie or technology, the inventory should identify:
- Cookie or technology name.
- Provider or organisation responsible.
- First-party or third-party status.
- Purpose and category.
- Duration or expiry period.
- Whether consent or another applicable legal mechanism is used.
Current Providers: [—]
Current Cookie Durations: [—]
Where necessary, this inventory should include technologies introduced through website themes, plugins, embedded content, advertising services, and analytics tools.
Cookie names and expiry periods may change when relevant services or website settings are updated.
5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are associated with the website being visited.
Third-party cookies are associated with another organisation or service.
A website may incorporate third-party services for functions such as embedded media, advertising, analytics, or interactive content.
Where these services store or access information on visitors’ devices, the relevant privacy requirements must be assessed.
Brisk Magazine must disclose any third parties involved in its actual use of cookies and similar technologies, including their relevant purposes.
The presence of a third-party resource does not necessarily mean that a particular tracking cookie is installed.
6. Cookie Consent and Legal Requirements
Cookie requirements depend on the applicable laws, the purposes of the technologies, and the circumstances of their use.
In the United Kingdom, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) govern the storage of, and access to, information on users’ devices.
Where personal information is processed, the UK GDPR and other applicable data protection requirements may also apply.
For technologies that require consent, visitors must be provided with appropriate information and a genuine opportunity to make an informed choice before the technologies are activated.
Valid consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and indicated through a clear affirmative action.
Continuing to browse a website does not, by itself, constitute valid consent.
Some technologies may qualify for exceptions, but these depend on their specific purposes and the legal requirements in force.
The law may differ for visitors outside the United Kingdom, including those in the European Union or particular US states.
7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Visitors should be able to exercise the choices required by applicable privacy legislation.
Where consent is necessary, users must be able to refuse non-essential technologies and withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.
Where a technology relies on an exception that requires a way to object, visitors must be offered an appropriate objection mechanism.
Cookie Preferences Control: [—]
Consent and Objection Method: [—]
If a visitor withdraws consent or exercises an applicable objection right, the relevant storage or access must stop in accordance with legal requirements.
Withdrawing consent does not automatically erase personal information already processed lawfully. Requests concerning personal data are addressed separately under our Privacy Policy.
8. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most modern browsers offer tools for viewing, blocking, or deleting cookies.
Depending on the browser, visitors may be able to:
- Review cookies stored on their device.
- Remove individual cookies or stored website data.
- Block some or all cookies.
- Change privacy and tracking settings.
- Restrict certain third-party technologies.
Browser settings can provide additional control, but they may not replace a legally required website consent or objection mechanism.
Blocking essential website technologies may affect the operation of certain features.
For browser-specific instructions, consult the official support documentation provided by your browser developer.
9. Cookies and Embedded Content
Online magazines may publish or reference multimedia content, such as videos, social media posts, maps, and other embedded resources.
Some third-party embedded services can use cookies or comparable technologies when their content is displayed or accessed.
If Brisk Magazine implements embedded services that store or access information on visitors’ devices, the relevant providers and purposes should be disclosed.
Technologies requiring consent should not be activated before valid consent has been obtained.
Visitors may also wish to review the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third-party services.
10. Data Protection and Cookie Information
Information obtained through cookies and similar technologies may qualify as personal data when it identifies, relates to, or can reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual.
Where personal data is processed, the relevant data protection rules must be followed.
These may include requirements relating to:
- Lawful, fair, and transparent processing.
- Defined and legitimate purposes.
- Data minimisation.
- Appropriate security safeguards.
- Storage limitation.
- Individual privacy rights.
- Appropriate international transfer safeguards.
Further information about personal data processing should be provided in Brisk Magazine’s Privacy Policy.
11. How Long Do Cookies Remain Active?
Cookie duration depends on the function and configuration of each technology.
Session cookies generally expire when the relevant browser session ends, subject to browser behaviour.
Persistent cookies may remain for a defined period unless removed earlier.
The duration of each technology must be appropriate and proportionate to its intended purpose.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated when website functionality changes, new technologies are introduced, existing services are removed, or applicable legal requirements develop.
The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
Where a new purpose requires consent, fresh consent must be obtained before the relevant non-exempt technologies are used.
Visitors are encouraged to review this policy periodically to understand how cookies and similar technologies are handled.
