Last updated: 20 October 2026
1. About This Cookie Policy
This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit www.itgandco.co.uk.
ITG & Co. provides downloadable PDF guides to help people understand UK forms and applications. Our website uses WordPress and a secure checkout service provided by Stripe.
We aim to keep our website straightforward and minimise unnecessary processing of visitor information. Some cookies and similar technologies may nevertheless be needed to operate website functions, protect transactions and provide services requested by visitors.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website remember information, maintain a session or support particular functions.
Some cookies last only while your browser is open. Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
Similar technologies, such as local browser storage, can perform related functions and may be subject to the same legal rules.
3. Categories of Cookies
The following categories explain the types of cookies commonly associated with websites, hosting services and payment systems. They do not constitute a verified inventory of every cookie currently used on our website.
Essential Website Cookies
Cookies may be used to support essential website functions, security and the delivery of a service you have requested. Where a cookie is genuinely strictly necessary, consent may not be required under the applicable rules, although visitors should still receive clear information about its purpose.
Payment and Checkout Cookies
When you proceed to purchase a guide, Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies to support checkout, payment security and fraud prevention. The applicable cookies can depend on the payment process and the services involved.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Some websites use cookies to understand visitor numbers, page usage or site performance. ITG & Co. does not claim in this policy that such cookies are currently installed. Any analytics technology used must be assessed against the applicable UK cookie rules, including whether consent is required.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies can be used to track activity or personalise adverts. This policy does not assert that ITG & Co. currently installs advertising cookies. If these technologies are introduced, the website’s notices and consent arrangements must be reviewed and updated as required by law.
4. WordPress, Hosting and Website Security
Our website is built using WordPress. WordPress, installed plugins and website hosting or security services may use browser storage or cookies for particular operational functions.
Not every cookie associated with WordPress applies to ordinary visitors. Some cookies are associated with website administration, while others may arise only when a particular feature is used.
The cookies actually used depend on the configuration of the website and its active services. Essential security and operational functions are assessed separately from optional tracking or analytics.
5. Stripe and Secure Payments
ITG & Co. uses Stripe Checkout to process purchases of downloadable PDF guides.
When you proceed to Stripe’s payment service, Stripe may process device, browser and payment-related information and use cookies or similar technologies for its checkout and security functions.
For further information about Stripe’s handling of personal information, see Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
6. Cookie Consent
UK law distinguishes cookies and similar technologies that are covered by a legal exception from those that require user consent.
Certain cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by a visitor may be used without consent where the relevant conditions are satisfied.
Where consent is legally required, it must be obtained through an appropriate mechanism before the relevant technology is used. Users must also be given appropriate information and choices concerning that technology.
This page provides information about cookies. It does not itself place, block or manage cookies or record consent choices.
7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to inspect, delete or block cookies using their privacy or website settings.
You can normally find these options under settings relating to privacy, security, site data or cookies. Exact instructions vary between browsers and devices.
Blocking essential cookies may affect the operation of some website functions or payment services.
Browser controls are not a substitute for any consent or withdrawal mechanism the website is legally required to provide for non-essential technologies.
8. Third-Party Websites
Our website may link to official government websites and other external services.
When you follow a link to another website, that website may use its own cookies and privacy practices. We recommend reviewing the relevant website’s cookie or privacy information.
9. Personal Information and Privacy
ITG & Co. does not require visitors to create accounts or submit completed government forms or personal questionnaires in order to purchase our ready-made guides.
Limited information may be processed as part of website operation, secure payment processing, order delivery or customer correspondence. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.
10. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when our website’s technology, payment arrangements, cookie practices or legal obligations change. The date at the top of this page identifies the latest published version.
