COOKIE POLICY

Version 1.0 | Last updated: 28th August 2026

 

Please read this cookie policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are and how we use cookies on our Services. This policy is provided by Safeguarding Network Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 10661282 with registered office at Chimmels, Dartington Hall, Totnes, Devon, England, TQ9 6EQ (we, us or our), and applies when you use our website at https://safeguarding.network/ and related services (Services).

 

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which sets out who we are, how to contact us, what data is collected, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information generally, as well as your rights in relation to your personal information and details of how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a complaint.

 

  1. Cookies

    A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device (e.g. your smartphone or other electronic device) when you use our Services. When we use cookies on our Services, you will always be informed by a pop-up within the Services.

     

    Cookies help us to recognise you and your device and allow us to store some information about your preferences or past actions.

     

    For example, we may monitor how many times you use our Services, which parts of the Services you go to. This information helps us to understand use of the Services by our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.

     

    For further information on our use of cookies, including a detailed list of your information which we and others may collect through cookies, please see below.

     

    For further information on cookies generally, including how to control and manage them, visit the guidance on cookies published by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

  2. Consent to use cookies and changing settings

    We will ask for your consent to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where they are essential for us to provide you with a service that you have requested (e.g. to allow you to remain logged-in to the Services as you navigate within the Services and use the Services functionalities).

     

    You can withdraw any consent to the use of cookies or manage any other cookie preferences by using the tool made available to you within the Services itself. You can then adjust sliders or untick boxes as appropriate to reflect your choice. It may be necessary to refresh or restart the Services for the updated settings to take effect. We use a consent management platform, Cookiebot, to obtain, record and manage your consent. Our use of cookies is regulated by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and, where cookies process personal data, by the UK GDPR.

    Cookies set by third parties Cookies set by Stripe, PayPal, Salesforce and Google Our payment providers (Stripe and PayPal) set cookies to process payments and to detect and prevent fraud. Salesforce supports our customer relationship management. Google Tag Manager loads the tags described above. These third parties are separate controllers or processors in their own right and their own privacy and cookie notices apply. Fraud prevention and payment cookies are essential. All other third party cookies are non-essential and we will request your consent before placing them.

    Keeping this list up to date

    The cookies used on the Services change from time to time. Our website is scanned monthly by Cookiebot and the full, automatically updated list of the cookies actually in use, together with their providers, purposes and expiry periods, is published in our cookie declaration at https://safeguarding.network/content/cookie-declaration. Where there is any inconsistency between the table above and the cookie declaration, the cookie declaration reflects the cookies currently in use.

     

    Cookies set by third parties

    Some cookies are placed on your device by third parties when you use the Services. We do not control these cookies and you should review the relevant third party notices: Google (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), Stripe Payments Europe Limited, PayPal (Europe) S.a r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. and Salesforce, Inc. Where these third parties transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom, we rely on the transfer mechanisms described in our Privacy Policy.
