Your rights under data protection laws.
It applies to all visitors, clients, and prospective clients who interact with our website https://quarterly.co.uk or https://quarterlydesign.co.uk.

3. How We Use Your Information
We group cookies into four main categories:
a) Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the website to function — for example, remembering your cookie preferences or enabling secure login areas. They cannot be switched off.
Examples: Session ID cookies, security cookies.
b) Functional cookies
These allow the website to remember choices you’ve made (such as language or region) and provide enhanced, personalised features.
Examples: Saved preferences, form data.
c) Analytics & performance cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website, so we can measure and improve performance. They collect data such as page views, time on site, and clicks.
Tools we use:
Google Analytics – tracks site usage and performance.
Hotjar – heatmaps and session recordings to improve usability.
Microsoft Clarity – user behaviour analytics and performance monitoring.
d) Advertising & targeting cookies
These record your visit to our site, pages visited, and links clicked. They are used to deliver ads more relevant to you and measure ad effectiveness.
Tools we use:
Meta (Facebook) Pixel – personalised ads on Facebook/Instagram.
LinkedIn Insight Tag – LinkedIn ad tracking and targeting.
Google Ads Remarketing Tag – shows you relevant ads across Google’s network.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:
Trusted service providers – such as hosting companies, payment processors, email marketing platforms, analytics providers, and advertising partners.
Professional advisers – such as lawyers, accountants, and insurers.
Authorities – if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights.
All third parties are required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
5. International Transfers
Some of our service providers are located outside the UK/EEA. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — for example, contracts incorporating UK GDPR Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Typical retention periods are:
Client records: 6 years after the end of the relationship.
Marketing contact details: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent.
Website analytics data: 12–24 months.
8. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including secure servers, encryption, and restricted access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
