1. Overview of this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy outlines how PIPS N PROFITS LTD uses cookies and similar technologies on our corporate website to support core functionality, enhance performance, strengthen security, provide analytics, and deliver a modern, data-driven user experience.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, which explain how we process personal data and govern use of the Site.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be set directly by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services integrated into the website ("third-party cookies"). These files are stored by your web browser and may contain identifiers, timestamps, and technical information that help us recognise your device and remember your preferences between visits.
In addition to traditional browser-based cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and tags that operate in a comparable way to support measurement, security, and functionality on the Site.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We group the cookies used on https://pip-n-profits.site into the following categories:
| Cookie category |
Description |
| Essential cookies |
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as navigating pages, setting privacy preferences, accessing secure areas, or submitting forms (for example, on the Contact Us or Careers pages). Without these cookies, the Site or certain services may not operate correctly. |
| Performance and analytics cookies |
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting aggregated, pseudonymised information about page views, navigation patterns, and technical performance. This data informs how we refine core sections such as Services, Solutions, Insights, and News to better serve stakeholders. |
| Functionality cookies |
Functionality cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation, such as remembering your language preferences, saved form inputs for a short time, or your response to the cookie banner. They help maintain a seamless and consistent browsing experience across sessions and devices. |
| Targeting or marketing cookies |
Where used, targeting cookies may be set by us or by our carefully selected third-party partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. |
The specific cookies active on the Site may change over time as we enhance our digital platform. We will update this Policy periodically to reflect material changes.
4. Purpose of Cookie Usage
We use cookies and similar technologies on the Site for the following purposes:
- Website operation and security – To enable core site features (such as page navigation, secure login where applicable, and form submissions), maintain session integrity, protect against malicious activity, and support fraud prevention.
- Analytics and performance measurement – To understand how visitors interact with pages like About, Leadership, Consulting, and News, including which content is most frequently viewed, how users arrive at the Site, and how quickly pages load. This helps us improve our services, navigation, and overall experience.
- Experience personalisation – To remember certain choices you make (for example, cookie consent selections, previously visited sections, or form states), so that the Site feels more tailored and requires fewer repetitive steps during future visits.
- Communications and marketing – Where permitted by law and your preferences, to support relevant and measured communications about our services, solutions, or opportunities, and to track the effectiveness of campaigns or digital initiatives.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit the Site, you may see a cookie banner or consent tool that allows you to accept or manage non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time by revisiting the cookie banner (where available) or by adjusting your browser settings.
Most web browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually.
- Block third-party cookies or cookies from particular websites.
- Block all cookies, or delete all cookies when you close your browser.
If you choose to block or delete certain cookies, parts of the Site may not function as intended, and features such as saved preferences, secure areas, or form functionality may be limited.
For further guidance, you can review help resources provided by your browser provider (for example, Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox) or consult reputable online privacy resources relevant to your jurisdiction.
6. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to cookies set directly by PIPS N PROFITS LTD, certain third parties may place cookies on your device when you visit or interact with the Site. These third-party cookies may be used for analytics, embedded content, or to support specific functionality.
Examples of third-party activities that may involve cookies include:
- Analytics platforms that help us measure traffic, engagement, and performance trends across pages such as Services, Solutions, and Insights.
- Embedded media or third-party content (for example, video players or interactive widgets) that enhance the way we present news, case studies, or insights.
- Marketing or campaign tools that support secure, permission-based communications and help us understand the effectiveness of our outreach.
These third parties may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We are committed to transparency regarding the partners we use and the categories of data they process. Where required, we put appropriate data protection and contractual safeguards in place.
You can typically manage third-party cookies via the Site's cookie banner (where available) or through your browser settings, but please be aware that changes may affect how integrated third-party features operate.
7. Cookie Duration and Retention
Cookies used on the Site may be either "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies:
- Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. They support short-term operations such as navigating between pages, maintaining security during a session, and processing form submissions.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. They help us remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used over time, and support performance tuning.
The specific duration for each cookie varies depending on its purpose, but in general:
- Essential and security-related cookies are retained for as long as necessary to support the relevant function and comply with legal or operational requirements.
- Performance and analytics cookies are typically retained for periods ranging from several days up to 24 months to enable trend analysis and reporting.
- Functionality and preference cookies may persist for several months to maintain a consistent experience between visits.
We periodically review the cookies deployed on the Site to ensure that retention periods remain appropriate and aligned with our data protection obligations.

Our use of cookies is designed to comply with applicable data protection and e-privacy laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and relevant European data protection principles where they apply.
In particular:
- Essential cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, reliable, and user-friendly website and in providing services requested by you.
- Non-essential cookies (such as certain analytics, functionality, or targeting cookies) are used on the basis of your consent, which we obtain via the Site's cookie banner or similar tools where required.
