This Cookie Policy explains how Company Compass uses cookies and similar technologies on companycompass.co, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Company Compass is a trading name of Company Compass Co. You can contact us at info@companycompass.co.
Please read this policy alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information and your data protection rights.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They help websites operate, remember choices and collect information about how people use them.
We also use similar technologies, including tracking pixels. A pixel is a small piece of code that can record website visits or actions and send information to its provider.
In this policy, “cookies” includes these similar technologies unless we state otherwise.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain until they expire or you delete them.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use the following categories of cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These support functions needed to operate the website and provide services you request, such as security and remembering your cookie preferences.
These cookies do not require your consent. They are not used for advertising.
Analytics cookies — Google Analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our website. This helps us identify useful content, assess website performance and improve the visitor experience.
Information collected may include pages visited, interactions, approximate location, device and browser information, referral sources and cookie identifiers.
Advertising cookies — Meta Pixel
With your consent, we use the Meta Pixel, provided by Meta, to measure and improve our advertising on Facebook and Instagram.
It helps us understand whether visitors take actions after seeing or clicking an advert, build advertising audiences and show relevant advertising to people who have previously visited our website.
The Pixel may send Meta information such as pages visited, actions taken, cookie identifiers, IP address, and browser or device details. Meta may match this information with your Facebook or Instagram account and use it in accordance with its privacy policy.
Analytics and advertising cookies are optional.
3. Cookies Used on Our Website

Cookie lifetimes may be shortened by browser settings or refreshed on subsequent visits, depending on the cookie and its configuration. Google explains its default settings in its Google Analytics cookie documentation.
Cookie expiry is separate from how long information collected through a cookie is retained. See our Privacy Policy for information about personal data retention.
4. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit our website, our cookie banner allows you to:
- Accept all optional cookies.
- Reject all optional cookies.
- Choose your preferences for analytics and advertising separately.
We do not activate Google Analytics or the Meta Pixel unless you consent to the relevant category.
You can change your choices or withdraw consent at any time using Cookie Settings in the website footer. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and stops future use of the optional tracking you disable. It does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew consent.
Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent you from browsing our website or making an enquiry.
Your choices generally apply to the browser and device you are using. You may need to choose again if you switch devices or browsers, clear your cookies, or your saved preferences expire.
5. Browser Controls
You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect some website functions. Deleting cookies may also remove your saved consent preferences, so the cookie banner may appear again.
Browser controls may not block every type of tracking technology. Please use our Cookie Settings to manage the optional tracking on this website.
6. Google, Meta and Your Information
When you accept the relevant cookies, information collected through Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel is shared with Google and Meta respectively.
These providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Our Privacy Policy explains relevant international transfers and safeguards.
For more information about their practices, see:
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes to our website, the technologies we use or applicable requirements.
The date at the top shows when it was last updated. Where a change requires fresh consent, we will ask for it before activating the relevant optional technology.
