Cookies Policy
Last updated: 27 October 2026
This policy explains how Search Press Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on searchpress.com. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some are essential to provide the website, while optional cookies help us understand use of the site or measure advertising.
Your choices
Essential cookies are used because they are necessary to provide services you request. We ask for your consent before using analytics or advertising cookies. “Accept all” and “Reject all” are available from the cookie banner, and you can make separate choices in the preferences panel.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent stops optional tags from loading on future page views and removes first-party analytics and advertising cookies that are accessible to this website.
