Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Som Solutions Ltd (trading as SomPay) uses cookies and similar technologies on somsolutions.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They contain only small amounts of data and can only be read by the website that created them.

As well as cookies, we may use similar technologies such as localStorage — a browser feature that stores small amounts of data on your device. We use localStorage to remember your cookie consent preference.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

Ensure the website functions correctly and securely
Remember your cookie consent preference so we do not ask you again
Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
Remember any preferences or settings you have chosen

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, track you across other websites, or sell your data to third parties.

3. Types of cookies we use

We categorise the cookies and similar technologies we use into three types:

Strictly necessary cookies

Always active

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled because the site would not work properly without them. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

Name	Purpose	Duration
sompay_cookie_consent	Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted/rejected) so the banner does not reappear	Until cleared

Analytics cookies

Consent required

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This helps us improve the site. All data collected is aggregated and anonymous; we cannot identify individual users from it.

These cookies are only set if you click Accept on our cookie banner. We do not currently use a specific analytics provider — when we do, this section will be updated with the specific cookies used.

Preference cookies

Consent required

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made — such as your language or region — so that the site behaves in a more personalised way on your next visit.

These cookies are only set if you click Accept on our cookie banner. We will update this section as preference features are introduced.

4. Cookies we do NOT use

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We will never place cookies that track your activity across other websites, build advertising profiles, or share your browsing behaviour with third parties for commercial purposes.

Specifically, we do not use:

Google Ads, Meta Pixel, or any other advertising network cookies
Retargeting or remarketing cookies
Social media tracking pixels (Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok, etc.)
Any cookies that track you across websites you visit after leaving ours

5. Third-party cookies

Some features of our website involve third-party services that may set their own cookies. We have no direct control over these cookies, but we only use third-party services that handle data responsibly.

Provider	Used for	Their privacy policy
Formspree	Handling contact form submissions on our Contact page	formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy

When you submit the contact form, your browser connects to Formspree's servers to deliver your message. Formspree may set session cookies necessary to process the form submission. No personal data is sent to Formspree unless you actively use the contact form.

As we add further features to the website, this table will be updated with any additional third-party providers.

6. Managing and controlling cookies

You have several options for controlling cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this website.

Our cookie banner

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to Accept or Reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage and the banner will not appear again. To change your choice, clear your browser's localStorage or site data (see browser settings instructions below).

Browser settings

All major browsers let you view, manage and delete cookies through their settings:

Google Chrome:Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox:Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Apple Safari:Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge:Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Further opt-out tools

For more information about cookies and your rights, the ICO provides guidance at ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie banner, as they are required for the website to function. You can delete them at any time using your browser settings, but this may affect your experience on the site.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as we add new features, use new third-party services, or to comply with legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

If we make significant changes — such as introducing new categories of cookies — we will reset your cookie consent so that the banner reappears and you can make a fresh choice.
