COOKIE POLICY
Effective from: 19.06.23
We believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. In the spirit of transparency, this Cookie Policy (read with our Privacy Policy) provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies.
WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHY DO WE USE THEM?
Like most websites, Step Up And Write’s website uses cookies to collect information.
Cookies are small data files which are placed on your computer or other devices (such as smart phones or tablets) as you browse this website. They are used to ‘remember’ when your computer or device accesses our website.
They are in some cases essential for the effective operation of our websites and to help your journey around our websites, but sometimes are used to tailor the products and services offered or adverts you may see both on our website and elsewhere.
HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?
Cookies will stay on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time.
Some cookies, called ‘session cookies’, only exist when your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser or quit the app.
Other cookies are ‘persistent’, meaning they stay on your device after your browser or app is closed, and can be used later by websites or apps to recognise your computer when you return to our site or app.
Please see the Cookies We Use section for more detailed information about the types of cookies we use, what they are for and how long they last.
HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES
You can manage your cookie settings on our website at any time. Simply tap on the ‘C’ logo that you’ll find on the bottom left of every web page to open up and manage your preferences.
Alternatively, you can set your browser to block cookies, please check your browser for instructions on how to do this. The effect of disabling cookies depends on which cookies you disable but, in general, the website may not operate properly if all cookies are switched off.
SHARING ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
If you ‘share’ Step Up and Write content on social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, you may be sent cookies from these websites. We do not control the settings of these cookies, so please check the third-party websites for more information about how to manage them.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Our websites also include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
EMAIL MARKETING
Like many businesses, we use Email Marketing tools to distribute relevant content to those with whom we enter into a relationship with, who have not objected to it, or those who choose to receive those messages.
It’s been common practice for many years for such Email Marketing Tools to track message delivery, opens, link clicks and forwarding. It helps us measure engagement with our messages. You may not even realise such tracking occurs, and hence this disclosure.
We actively monitor our outbound email marketing communications for delivery status, email opens, email forwards, clicking of links and acting upon unsubscribe requests. We can’t turn this functionality off, but you’re free to unsubscribe from our messages or deny consent at any time.

ESSENTIAL COOKIES WE USE
These cookies are needed for essential functions, like logging in, moving around the website and using its features.
These don’t store any information and only use cookies to enable us to maintain a session while you’re logged in, so you can access content you otherwise couldn’t see. For this reason, they can’t be turned off.
