Cookies Policy
Last updated: 14 April 2026
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how void-shield Financial Consultancy Ltd uses them on our website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They serve various purposes, from remembering your preferences to helping website owners understand how visitors interact with their sites.
Cookies are widely used across the internet and are generally harmless. They cannot access other information on your device or spread malware. However, we recognise that you may have concerns about privacy, which is why we provide clear information about our cookie use and give you control over non-essential cookies.
How We Use Cookies
Our website uses cookies for several purposes, categorised as follows:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and remembering your cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate properly.
Essential cookies we use:
- cookie_consent - Stores your cookie preferences (Duration: 1 year)
- session_id - Maintains your session while browsing (Duration: Session)
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on the site, and whether users encounter error messages. This information helps us improve the website's performance and user experience.
The data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify individual visitors. Analytics cookies we may use:
- _ga - Distinguishes unique users (Duration: 2 years)
- _ga_* - Maintains session state (Duration: 2 years)
- _gid - Distinguishes unique users (Duration: 24 hours)
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies track visitors across websites to enable the display of relevant advertisements. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
We currently use limited marketing cookies. If we introduce additional marketing cookies in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website may be set by third-party services. For example, if we embed content from social media platforms or use third-party analytics tools, those services may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies, and you should review the relevant third parties' privacy policies for more information.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. You can change these preferences at any time by clicking the "Manage Preferences" option in our cookie banner or by adjusting your browser settings.

Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to these signals.
