Accrels Cookie Policy
Oct 22, 2026
1. About this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Accrels (“Accrels”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit www.accrels.com (the “Website”). It tells you what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and give us information about how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits, work in much the same way, and we refer to all of them as “cookies” in this policy.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect any personal data, including data gathered through cookies.
2. Types of cookies we use
We group the cookies on our Website into four categories.
Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the Website to function, for example to keep the site secure, balance server load, remember your cookie choices and make forms work. They do not need your consent and cannot be switched off in our systems, although you can block them in your browser (parts of the site may then stop working).
Performance and analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors find and use the Website, which pages are most popular and where people run into problems. The information is aggregated and used only to improve the site. We set these only with your consent.
Functional cookies. These remember choices you make, such as your region or country tab, language or form details, so the Website feels more personal. If you disable them, some features may not work as intended. We set these only with your consent.
Marketing and advertising cookies. These are set by us or our advertising and social media partners to build a profile of your interests, show relevant Accrels content on other sites, and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. We set these only with your consent.

4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our Website are set by third parties. They include analytics providers (such as Google and Microsoft), advertising and social platforms (such as Google Ads, LinkedIn and Meta), and embedded services such as contact forms, scheduling tools, maps and videos.
We do not control how these third parties use their cookies. Each has its own privacy and cookie policy, and some may process data outside your country, including in the United States and India. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.
5. Consent and legal basis
We serve visitors in the UK, Ireland, the EU, the USA, Australia and Canada, and apply the strictest standard to all of them.
- UK and EU/Ireland: Under UK GDPR, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), EU GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookie. Strictly necessary cookies rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure website.
- USA: Where state privacy laws apply (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act), you can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising through our cookie settings.
- Australia and Canada: We handle personal data collected through cookies in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Australia) and PIPEDA (Canada), and rely on your consent for non-essential cookies.
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose by category. Rejecting non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting them. We keep a record of your choice.
6. How to manage your cookie preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the Website. Your choices apply to the browser and device you are using.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, where you can block or delete them. Instructions are available for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge. Blocking all cookies may affect how the Website works.
You can opt out of specific services directly:
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Interest-based advertising: Your Online Choices (UK and EU), Digital Advertising Alliance (USA), Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada
- Global Privacy Control: we treat a GPC signal from your browser as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your data.
7. Changes to this policy and contact us
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use or when the law changes. The date of the latest version appears at the top of this page, and we will ask for fresh consent where required.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or your data protection rights, contact us at [info@accrels.com]. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK.
