Cookies Policy
manojtailor.com — Human-Led AI.
Last updated: August 2026.
1. Introduction.
This Cookies Policy explains how manojtailor.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with the website.
The website may use these technologies to make pages and forms work, protect the website from misuse and security threats, remember your cookie choices, support email subscription forms, deliver private diagnostics, enable secure checkout and payment, understand website use where appropriate, and support third-party content or services that you choose to use.
Only technologies that are genuinely installed and active should be listed in this policy and in the cookie schedule below.
This Cookies Policy should be read alongside the Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how personal information is collected, used, stored and shared.
This website is operated by:
Manoj Tailor Website: manojtailor.com Email: manoj@manojtailor.com
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website or service may place on your computer, phone, tablet or other device. They may allow a website to recognise a browser or device, maintain a secure session, remember a preference, store a cookie-consent choice, process a form or checkout, measure website use, understand whether a link or email has been opened, or support content provided by another platform.
Some cookies are removed when you close your browser. These are commonly called session cookies. Others remain for a set period or until you delete them. These are commonly called persistent cookies.
3. Similar technologies.
The rules applying to cookies may also apply to other technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device. These may include local storage, session storage, tracking pixels, scripts and tags, software development kits, device identifiers, link-tracking technologies, embedded third-party tools, and similar storage or access technologies.
In this policy, references to “cookies” include these similar technologies where appropriate.
4. The categories used on this website.
4.1 Strictly necessary technologies.
These technologies are required to provide a service you have requested or to keep the website functioning securely. They may support website security, fraud or spam prevention, network and page delivery, cookie-choice records, form submission, secure checkout, authentication, error detection, and technical stability.
Where a technology is genuinely necessary to provide a requested service or falls within another applicable legal exception, it may operate without prior consent. These technologies should not be used for unrelated analytics, advertising or profiling purposes. Disabling them through your browser may prevent parts of the website from working.
4.2 Functional and preference technologies.
These technologies may remember choices about how the website appears or operates — language or display preferences, accessibility choices, form progress, user-interface settings, and other functions requested by the visitor.
Some functional technologies may fall within an applicable legal exception where their sole purpose is to provide or remember a function or appearance preference. Where an exception does not apply, they will be used only after the required consent has been obtained. A simple way to object or change the preference will be provided where required.
4.3 Analytics and statistical technologies.
Analytics may be used to understand general patterns such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the website, which links are followed, which pages appear useful, whether visitors encounter technical problems, and how the website and reading experience can be improved.
The website may rely on consent for analytics. In limited circumstances, statistical technologies may be used without prior consent where their sole purpose is to collect statistical information about use of this website, the information is used to improve the website or service, visitors receive clear information, visitors have a simple and free way to object, the information is not used for advertising, cross-site tracking or unrelated profiling, and all other requirements of the applicable exception are met.
Where these conditions are not met, analytics technologies will remain disabled until consent is given. The live cookie settings and schedule should identify which approach applies.
4.4 Email subscription and engagement technologies.
Email forms may use technologies required to submit a subscription request, prevent fraudulent or automated sign-ups, maintain form security, record consent and preferences, deliver the seven-day email series, deliver the weekly newsletter, and manage unsubscribes.
The email provider may also offer optional measurement such as email delivery, bounces, opens, link clicks, form completion, and unsubscribe activity. Where an email tracking pixel or similar technology stores information on, or accesses information from, the device used to read an email, it will be used only where legally permitted.
You may unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link provided in the email. More information is provided in the Privacy Policy.
4.5 Contact-form technologies.
The Contact page may use cookies or similar technologies to submit the form, prevent spam, protect the website, validate information, detect technical errors, and confirm successful delivery.
Technologies genuinely necessary to submit and secure a form may operate under an applicable exception. Any optional measurement or tracking connected to the form will be consent-controlled where required.
4.6 Diagnostic and questionnaire technologies.
Private diagnostics, may be delivered using Tally or another provider clearly identified at the point of use.
These services may use technologies to display and operate the form, remember form progress, submit responses, prevent abuse, deliver a result, maintain security, support conditional question paths, and connect responses with requested follow-up.
Some necessary form technologies may operate under an applicable legal exception. Optional analytics or tracking used by the form provider will be blocked until consent where required. Completing the diagnostic does not permit unrelated advertising or tracking.
4.7 Payment and checkout technologies.
Where products or services are available for purchase, checkout and payment providers may use technologies to maintain the checkout session, process the transaction, prevent fraud, protect payment information, remember the contents of a basket, confirm an order, and manage customer access.
The providers actually used will be identified at checkout and in the live cookie schedule. Payment-related technologies that are genuinely necessary to complete and secure a transaction may operate under an applicable legal exception. Optional analytics, advertising or cross-site tracking connected with checkout will require consent where applicable.
I do not directly store complete payment-card details.
4.8 Embedded third-party content.
Some pages may contain content or services supplied by another organisation, such as forms, videos, audio, payment tools, downloadable documents, booking services, surveys, or demonstrations.
An embedded service may behave as though you visited the provider’s own website. It may attempt to set its own cookies, collect technical information, measure interactions, connect activity with an existing account, and apply its own privacy and cookie practices.
Where an embedded service uses non-exempt technologies, it should remain blocked until the required consent has been given. The relevant third party should be identified before the content is activated.
4.9 Advertising and retargeting technologies.
This website does not use advertising, behavioural retargeting or cross-site profiling technologies unless the current cookie schedule expressly states that they have been activated.
Should these technologies be introduced, this policy and the cookie schedule will be updated before or when the processing begins. Advertising and retargeting technologies will not be activated before the required consent has been obtained. This includes technologies used to build advertising audiences, retarget website visitors, personalise advertisements, track people across websites, measure advertising campaigns, or infer interests or behaviour for advertising.
4.10 Heatmaps and session recordings.
This website does not use heatmaps or session-recording technologies unless the current cookie schedule expressly identifies an active provider.
Should they be introduced, the provider and purposes will be disclosed, appropriate privacy settings will be applied, sensitive form fields should be masked or excluded, the technology will remain disabled until consent where required, and the policy and cookie schedule will be updated.
5. Legal approach to cookies and similar technologies.
The website uses one of the following approaches for each technology:
Consent — the technology remains disabled until you make an active choice to allow it.
Strictly necessary or communication exception — the technology is essential to deliver a service you requested, transmit a communication, or maintain necessary security and technical functions.
Statistical-purpose exception — the technology is used solely to collect statistical information about use of this website, with clear information and a simple way to object.
Appearance or functionality exception — the technology is used solely to adapt the appearance or functionality of the website to a visitor’s preference, with clear information and a simple way to object.
The fact that a technology is useful to the website owner does not by itself make it necessary. Each technology must be assessed according to its actual purpose.
6. Cookie choices and consent.
When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or settings panel. Depending on the technologies active at the time, it may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies, choose individual categories, object to eligible statistical or functional technologies, review the providers involved, and change your choices later.
Consent-controlled technologies will not be activated merely because you continue browsing. Silence, inactivity or failure to interact with the banner will not be treated as consent. Where Accept All is offered, rejecting optional cookies should be presented with equivalent ease and prominence. Optional categories should not be preselected as consent.
7. Changing or withdrawing your choices
You can review or change your choices at any time through:
[Cookie Settings]
The Cookie Settings link should remain accessible in the website footer or through another persistent control. Withdrawing consent should be as straightforward as giving it.
When consent is withdrawn, relevant optional technologies should stop operating, existing optional cookies should be removed where technically possible, the new preference should be recorded, and essential website functions should remain available where possible.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
8. Refusing optional technologies.
You may continue to use the public website after rejecting optional cookies. Some optional features may not work where they depend upon a third-party service that you have declined — for example, an embedded form, a video, a payment tool, or a personalised display feature.
Where practical, the website should provide an alternative, such as a direct link, an email address, a separately opened service, explanatory text, or another means of accessing the requested function.
9. Current cookie and technology schedule.
Google Tag Manager.
Google Tag Manager, where installed, is a system for loading and managing other scripts or tags. The schedule must identify the technologies loaded through it rather than assuming that the presence of Google Tag Manager alone describes all storage or tracking activity. No consent-controlled tag should fire before the appropriate choice has been made.
10. Third-party providers.
| Service | Current provider |
| Website platform | WordPress |
| Website hosting | [x-cloud.com] |
| Cookie-consent management | [Complainz] |
| Website security | [WordFence] |
| Contact forms | [None] |
| Email forms and delivery | [Kit.com/Surecontact] |
| Private diagnostic | Tally |
| Website analytics | [none active] |
| Tag management | [none active] |
| Checkout | [Stripe/Surecart] |
| Payment processing | [Stripe/Surecart] |
| Embedded video or audio | [none active] |
| Advertising or retargeting | None |
| Heatmaps or session recording | None |
Each provider has its own privacy and cookie practices. Where a provider processes personal information, further information is available in the Privacy Policy and through the provider’s own privacy information.
11. How long cookies remain.
Cookie duration depends on the technology and purpose. A cookie may last only for the current browsing session, until a requested form or transaction is completed, for a fixed number of days or months, until you delete it, until the provider’s stated expiry date, or until consent is withdrawn and the cookie is removed.
Exact durations should be shown in the live cookie schedule. Cookies should not be retained for longer than is reasonably necessary for their stated purpose.
12. Browser controls.
Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete individual cookies, delete all cookies, block third-party cookies, block all cookies, clear cookies when the browser closes, and limit tracking technologies.
Browser controls operate separately from the website’s Cookie Settings tool. Blocking every cookie may prevent functions such as forms, diagnostics, logins or checkout from working correctly. Instructions are normally available within the privacy or security section of your browser settings.
13. Cookies and personal information.
Some cookies or related technologies may involve personal information, including IP address, device or browser information, online identifiers, website activity, link interactions, form activity, email engagement, and purchase and checkout activity.
Where personal information is involved, it is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy, which explains what information is collected, why it is used, the lawful basis, who may receive it, international processing, retention, individual rights, and how to contact me.
14. International visitors.
This website is operated from the United Kingdom and may be accessed globally. Cookies and related information may be processed in countries where the website’s service providers operate. Different jurisdictions may provide additional rights or requirements.
The website’s primary cookie controls are designed around applicable UK requirements. Where another law applies to a visitor or transaction, additional choices or disclosures may be provided where required.
15. Children.
This website is intended for adults. It is not designed to use cookies to profile or advertise to children. I do not knowingly use behavioural advertising or retargeting technologies directed at children through this website.
Concerns about information submitted by a child can be sent to manoj@manojtailor.com.
16. Changes to this policy.
This Cookies Policy may be updated when a technology is added or removed, a provider changes, a cookie’s purpose or duration changes, the diagnostic, checkout or email system changes, legal requirements or regulatory guidance change, or the website begins using analytics, advertising or embedded content not previously disclosed.
The updated version and revision date will appear on this page. Where a new use requires consent, it will not begin until the required choice has been obtained.

18. Summary.
The website aims to use cookies and related technologies only for clear purposes, in proportion to what the website needs, with meaningful visitor choice, without hiding optional tracking behind essential functions, without selling personal information, and without granting third-party technologies more access than is necessary.
The live cookie schedule — not a list of hypothetical services — should provide the final record of what is actually used.
