Cookie Policy & PECR Compliance | Neuro Stack Tech

PECR & UK GDPR Compliance Statement:

This Cookie Policy describes how Neuro Stack Tech Ltd ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies, browser local storage, and similar client-side identifiers on https://www.neurostacktech.com in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (UK GDPR).

1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage

Cookies are compact data files transmitted by web servers to your browser and stored on your computer or mobile device. When you return to our website or navigate between pages, cookies allow our servers to recognise your device, retain security session tokens, and recall display preferences.

In addition to standard HTTP cookies, we utilise HTML5 Web Storage (localStorage) to store consent state locally on your machine. This eliminates redundant network payloads and ensures third-party trackers are never invoked prior to explicit consent.

2. UK PECR & Consent Standards

Under the UK PECR framework and ICO statutory guidelines, non-essential cookies (such as analytics and telemetry) cannot be set without your prior, explicit, and informed consent.

Strict Consent Opt-In: Analytics and telemetry cookies remain dormant until you explicitly click "Accept All" or enable them within our consent manager.
No Tracking Walls: Full access to technical articles, service specifications, and public content is guaranteed regardless of whether you accept optional cookies.
Zero Third-Party Advertising Brokers: We strictly do NOT sell user data, deploy cross-site retargeting pixels, or partner with advertising data exchanges.

3. Cookie Inventory & Specifications

Below is the comprehensive audit of all cookies and local storage tokens deployed across the Neuro Stack Tech digital estate:

Cookie Token	Provider	Category	Duration	Purpose
nst_cookie_consent	neurostacktech.com	Strictly Necessary	12 Months	Stores user cookie consent preferences (necessary, performance, functional) to suppress recurring consent banners across visits.
theme	neurostacktech.com (localStorage)	Functional	Persistent	Maintains user interface lighting preference (light or system default) across navigation sessions.
__Host-csrf_token	neurostacktech.com	Strictly Necessary	Session	Cryptographic token preventing Cross-Site Request Forgery on discovery inquiry forms and interactive contact endpoints.
_nst_telemetry_aggregate	neurostacktech.com	Performance	24 Hours	Records anonymised page load latencies, server response durations, and Core Web Vitals without personal identifiers or cross-site profiling.

4. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Regulatory Status: Exempt from PECR Prior ConsentAlways Active

These cookies are technically indispensable for delivering core website functionality requested by you. They include security tokens, load-balancer routing headers, and our consent state token (nst_cookie_consent). Because they do not track personal identities or transmit data externally, they do not require statutory consent under Regulation 6(4) of PECR.

5. Performance & Telemetry Cookies

We maintain high-performance digital services. To ensure low server latency, rapid page rendering, and stable API response times, we capture aggregated technical telemetry:

Core Web Vitals metrics: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
Edge routing latency and HTTP 4xx/5xx error frequency for continuous infrastructure refinement.
IP addresses are pseudonymised or truncated at edge Cloudflare/AWS gateways prior to logging.

Performance telemetry cookies remain disabled until explicit user consent is granted.

6. Functional & UI Preferences

Functional cookies enable enhanced website features, including your chosen typography rendering mode and time-zone alignment for UK business hours scheduling. These settings are persisted locally on your device without linking back to corporate databases.

7. How to Manage & Revoke Consent

You retain complete control over cookies on our website and can modify or withdraw your consent at any time:

Neuro Stack Consent Banner

You can clear your local consent token (nst_cookie_consent) at any time to re-trigger the cookie management modal and adjust your preferences.

Browser Settings Control

Modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) allow you to block, review, or clear cookies via their Settings > Privacy & Security panels.

Note on Blocking Necessary Cookies:

If you instruct your browser to block all cookies (including strictly necessary items), certain security features, CSRF protections, and form submission channels may not function as intended.
