Cookies Policy
Wings Online Filings Ltd operates wingsonlinefilings.co.uk. This policy explains which cookies and similar tracking technologies we use on this website, why we use them, and what control you have over them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle your personal data more broadly.
What this policy covers
Wings Online Filings Ltd is a UK-based online accountancy practice registered in England and Wales (company number 15097680). This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on wingsonlinefilings.co.uk, what information they collect, and the legal basis for doing so. It applies to all visitors to this website and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and, where cookies process personal data, by UK GDPR.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit. They are stored in your browser and sent back to the originating website on subsequent visits. Cookies serve different purposes: some are essential for the site to function, others remember your preferences, and others help us understand how visitors use the site. First-party cookies are set directly by wingsonlinefilings.co.uk. Third-party cookies are set by external services we use, such as analytics platforms, and are governed by those providers’ own privacy policies.
Your consent
UK law requires us to obtain your prior consent before setting any cookie that is not strictly necessary for the site to function. Continuing to browse this site does not constitute consent.
Under PECR, we may only set strictly necessary cookies without asking first. For all other cookies — including analytics and any functional preference cookies — we need your explicit opt-in consent before they are activated. You can give or withdraw that consent at any time using the cookie preference tool on this site. Consent is never assumed, inferred from your continued use of the site, or collected via pre-ticked boxes.
Strictly necessary — no consent required
These cookies are essential for the website to work. They handle tasks such as managing your session, storing your cookie consent preferences, and ensuring the site loads securely. We set them automatically because without them the site cannot function. They do not collect personal data for profiling or advertising.
All other cookies — consent required
Functional, analytics, and any marketing cookies are only activated after you give specific, informed consent via our cookie consent banner. If you decline a category, those cookies are not set. You can revisit and change your choices at any time using the ‘manage cookies’ link in the site footer.
Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw consent for any non-essential cookie category at any time. Use the ‘manage cookies’ link in the footer of this site to open the preference panel and adjust your choices. You can also delete cookies already set by clearing them in your browser settings. Withdrawal takes effect immediately for new cookie activity.
Cookies we use
We group cookies into four standard categories based on their purpose and the legal basis for setting them.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies keep the site operational. They manage your browsing session, store the record of your cookie consent choices, and support secure page loading. Without them, key parts of the website will not work correctly. They do not track you for analytics or advertising purposes and do not require your consent to be set.
No consent required — these are essential for the site to work.Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember information you have provided or choices you have made — for example, preferred language or layout settings — so you do not have to repeat yourself on each visit. They improve convenience but are not required for the site to operate. If you decline this category, the site will still work normally.
Set only with your consent. Withdraw anytime via ‘manage cookies’.Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use this website — which pages are visited most, how long visitors spend on a page, and where traffic comes from. We use this data to understand what is working well and where we can make improvements. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose. These cookies require your consent under UK PECR.
Set only with your consent. Helps us improve the site but not required for it to work.Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies track visits across different websites to build a profile of your interests and to serve targeted advertisements. We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies on this website. If that changes, we will update this policy, add the relevant cookies to our inventory, and request your explicit consent before any marketing cookies are set.
We do not currently use marketing cookies. This policy will be updated and fresh consent requested if this changes.Third-party cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services we use — currently Google Analytics 4 and the LeadConnector form and calendar platform. These third parties set and read their own cookies independently of us, and their processing of any personal data is governed by their own privacy policies. When you decline a cookie category via our consent tool, we block those third-party cookies from being activated on this site. You may also need to manage third-party cookies separately when you visit other websites that use the same services.
Managing your cookies
You have two straightforward ways to control which cookies are active when you visit this site.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time — either through the consent tool built into this website, or through your browser settings. The consent tool is the simplest route for managing cookies on this site specifically.
Via this website
When you first visit the site, a cookie consent banner gives you the option to accept or decline each non-essential category. You can revisit those choices at any time by clicking the ‘manage cookies’ link in the footer. The panel shows which categories are currently active and lets you switch any non-essential category off. Changes take effect immediately for new cookie activity.
Via your browser
Every modern browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies for all websites. The settings location varies by browser: in Chrome, go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data; in Firefox, go to Settings, then Privacy and Security; in Safari, go to Preferences, then Privacy; in Microsoft Edge, go to Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
Impact of blocking cookies
Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies will affect how the site functions — for example, forms may not submit correctly and your consent preferences may not be saved. Blocking analytics cookies has no functional impact; the site works exactly the same way. Blocking functional cookies means certain preferences will not be remembered between visits.
Similar technologies
Cookies are not the only technology that can store or retrieve information from your device. This policy also covers similar tracking technologies where they are used on this website, including browser local storage, session storage, and server-side access logs. Our embedded third-party forms may also use pixel tags or similar mechanisms to confirm submission events. Where any of these technologies collect or process personal data, we treat them under the same legal framework and consent requirements that apply to cookies.
Children
This website is aimed at business owners, company directors, sole traders, and other adults seeking professional accounting and tax services. It is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data via cookies or any other technology from anyone under the age of 18.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time — for example, if we add new cookies, change providers, or if legislation or ICO guidance changes. The ‘last reviewed’ date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. Where changes are material — for example, adding a new cookie category — our consent banner will reappear to give you the opportunity to review and confirm your preferences.
