Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 January 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in a comparable way. In this policy we refer to all of these as “cookies”.

2. How we use cookies

Milestone Ventures Limited uses only a small number of cookies on milestoneventures.co.uk. We use strictly necessary cookies to make the website function and to remember your cookie choices. With your consent, we may use performance cookies to understand how the site is used so that we can improve it. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of our visitors.

3. Categories of cookies

• Strictly necessary — essential for the website to operate, for example to remember whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies. These cannot be switched off in our systems and do not require consent.
• Performance — collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are most visited. These help us improve the site and are set only with your consent.
• Functionality — allow the website to remember choices you make to provide a more personalised experience. We currently make only limited use of this category.
• Targeting — used to deliver and measure advertising relevant to you. We do not use targeting or advertising cookies on this website.

4. Cookies we use

Cookie / item	Category	Purpose	Duration

Google Maps cookies (e.g. NID, CONSENT)	Functionality / third party	Set by Google when an embedded map loads on our Contact page, to provide and secure the map service.	Session up to ~6 months

If we introduce optional analytics in future, we will update the table above and obtain your consent before any such cookies are set.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by third parties whose services appear on our pages. In particular, our Contact page embeds a map from Google Maps, which may set cookies controlled by Google. We do not control these cookies. You can find out more in Google’s own privacy and cookie information at policies.google.com.

6. Managing your cookies

When you first visit our website, we show a cookie notice that lets you accept or decline optional cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser’s storage for this site, which will cause the notice to appear again.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings — including blocking or deleting cookies and being warned before a cookie is stored. Please note that strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to work, so blocking all cookies may affect how the website functions. Guidance for common browsers is available at aboutcookies.org.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
