Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
1. Who We Are
This Cookie Policy explains how 82DASH Ltd (company number 16432005, registered in England and Wales) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at 82dash.com and across our platform.
For full details on how we process personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve various purposes - from remembering your preferences to helping us understand how people use the platform. Some are essential for the site to work; others help us improve your experience or deliver relevant advertising.
Similar technologies include pixels (also called tracking pixels or web beacons), which are tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that send information back to a server when loaded.
3. How We Use Cookies
We group our cookies and tracking technologies into three categories. Only essential cookies are loaded without your consent. All others require your explicit opt-in via our cookie banner.
4. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website and platform to function. They cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, setting preferences, or filling in forms.
Lawful basis: These cookies are strictly necessary for the performance of the service you have requested (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)) and are exempt from the consent requirement under the ePrivacy Directive.
5. Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with 82DASH by collecting information about page visits, traffic sources, and user behaviour. All data is aggregated and anonymised where possible. These cookies are only set if you consent.
Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC (USA). Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. We use IP anonymisation where available to minimise personal data collection.
6. Marketing Cookies
These cookies and tracking pixels are used to deliver relevant advertisements, measure campaign performance, and build audience profiles. They are only activated if you consent. They may be set by third-party advertising platforms through our site.
Meta Platforms, Inc. (USA), TikTok (ByteDance, Singapore/USA), and LinkedIn Corporation (USA) each process data under their own privacy policies. Data transferred to the USA is covered by Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms. See our Privacy Policy (section 1.13) for more detail on international transfers.
7. How to Manage Your Cookies
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:
Cookie banner: When you first visit 82dash.com, our cookie banner lets you accept all, reject non-essential, or choose specific categories. Your choice is saved for 12 months.
Update preferences: Click the cookie icon in the footer of any page, or visit 82dash.com/cookie-settings, to change your preferences at any time.
Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Be aware that blocking essential cookies may prevent the platform from working properly.
Here is how to manage cookies in the most common browsers:
Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data

9. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but we respect the cookie preferences you set via our consent banner.
We do honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where technically feasible. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of non-essential cookies.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tracking technologies, legal requirements, or business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the ‘Last updated’ date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via the cookie banner or email.
We recommend reviewing this policy periodically. Your continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
11. Legal Basis
Our use of cookies is governed by the following legislation:
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) - UK implementation of the ePrivacy Directive, requiring consent for non-essential cookies.
The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 - governing the processing of personal data collected via cookies.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - applicable where we process data of individuals in the EEA.
The ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) - requiring prior informed consent before setting non-essential cookies for EU visitors.
Essential cookies are set under the lawful basis of contractual necessity (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR/GDPR) and are exempt from the consent requirement. All other cookies rely on your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a)).
