Cookie Policy

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences over time, keep you signed in, measure how the site is used and support advertising. We also use similar technologies — such as pixels, local storage and software development kits — and we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.

Cookies may be "first-party" (set by mobiletechworld.com) or "third-party" (set by another organisation whose service appears on our pages, such as an analytics or advertising provider). They may be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.

The types of cookie we use

We group the cookies we use into three categories.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the website to work and to be secure. They do things like remember your cookie-consent choices, support the comment and sign-in functions where used, balance server load and help protect the site against spam and malicious activity. Because they are essential, they do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our banner. If you block them in your browser, parts of the site may not function correctly.

Analytics cookies

With your consent, these help us understand how readers use the site — for example which articles are read, how visitors arrive and where they leave. The data is aggregated and used to improve our content and the reader experience. These cookies are only set after you accept them.

Advertising and affiliate cookies

With your consent, these support advertising shown on the site and help us and our partners measure the performance of advertising and affiliate links — for example, recognising that a purchase followed a click on one of our links. Some of these cookies are set by third-party advertising or affiliate partners who act as separate data controllers for the data they collect.

The consent banner

When you first visit MobileTechWorld, our consent banner asks whether you accept non-essential cookies. Until you make a choice, we set only strictly necessary cookies. Non-essential analytics and advertising cookies are set only after you accept them, in line with PECR.

You can accept all, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. Whatever you choose, you can revisit and change your decision at any time by reopening the cookie settings from the banner or the link in our site footer.

How to manage or withdraw consent

You are in control of non-essential cookies.

• Reopen the cookie settings from our banner or footer link to change which categories you allow.
• Withdrawing consent stops further use of those cookies; cookies already on your device can be cleared through your browser.
• Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out while your consent was in place.

Controlling cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser, and most browsers let you refuse third-party cookies or warn you before one is set. The controls are usually found in the browser's settings or preferences, under "Privacy" or "Cookies and site data".

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Apple Safari — Settings/Preferences → Privacy.
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working. Browser controls apply per-device and per-browser, so you will need to set your preferences on each one you use.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use, such as our analytics provider and our advertising or affiliate partners. These organisations may act as separate data controllers and have their own privacy and cookie policies governing the data they collect. We only allow non-essential third-party cookies to operate where you have given consent.

For more detail on how we handle the data collected through cookies, the lawful bases we rely on, and your rights under UK GDPR, please see our Privacy Policy.

Changes and contact

We may update this Cookie Policy as the cookies we use, our partners or the law change. The current version is shown by the review date below.
