Cookies, controlled by you.

This Cookie Policy explains how Deburise uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It works alongside our Privacy Policy and is published in line with the EU ePrivacy Directive, GDPR, the UK PECR, and other applicable laws.

We aim to use the smallest possible number of cookies. Where a cookie isn't strictly necessary, we ask for your consent before setting it. You can update your choice at any time from the panel below or via the "Cookie Preferences" link in our footer.

Adjust your preferences here. Changes apply immediately to the current browser; if you use multiple devices or browsers, you'll need to set them on each.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They're widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site's owners about how it's being used.

"Similar technologies" in this policy include local storage, session storage, pixels (web beacons), and SDKs that perform comparable functions to cookies in modern browsers and apps.

We organise cookies into four categories. The interactive panel above gives you a toggle for each. Here's a summary of what each category does:

• Essential. Required for the site to function - security tokens, load balancing, form submission. These cannot be disabled because the site simply won't work without them.
• Functional. Remember preferences across visits - your theme (dark/light), preferred language, and accessibility settings. The site is usable without these; you'll just need to re-pick preferences each visit.
• Analytics. Help us understand which pages are used, where users get stuck, and how to improve. Aggregated and anonymised - we don't tie analytics events to specific individuals.
• Marketing. Used to measure ad effectiveness and (with your consent) deliver more relevant content on other platforms. Loaded only after you opt in via the cookie banner or the preferences panel above.

A small number of trusted third parties may set cookies on our website if you allow the matching category. Examples include:

• Analytics: a privacy-respecting analytics provider that aggregates page-view and engagement data without tracking individuals across sites.
• Embedded video: if we embed videos (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo), the video provider may set cookies when you press play. We use privacy-enhanced embeds where available.
• Marketing (opt-in only): LinkedIn Insight Tag, Meta Pixel, and Google Ads conversion pixels, loaded only when you accept the Marketing category.

We don't control third-party cookies directly. You can manage them via each service's opt-out tools, your browser's cookie controls, or industry opt-out tools (Network Advertising Initiative, Digital Advertising Alliance).

You can also manage cookies directly in your browser:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal indicating you don't want to be tracked. Because DNT was never standardised across the industry, we rely on the explicit choices you make via our cookie banner and preferences panel for consent.

We do honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends GPC, we treat it as an opt-out of sale and sharing of personal information under CCPA and equivalent laws - even before you interact with our cookie banner.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our cookie usage, technology, or regulatory requirements. Material changes that affect what categories of cookies we use or how we use them will trigger a fresh consent request via our cookie banner.
