Cookie Policy

How Suzume AI uses cookies and similar technologies on this website

Last updated: 5 April 2026  |  Jurisdiction: United Kingdom (UK GDPR / PECR)

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner.

Similar technologies, such as web storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), pixels, and fingerprinting, may serve comparable purposes. This policy covers cookies and these related technologies collectively.

2. Who We Are

This Cookie Policy applies to the website at suzume.ai, operated by Suzume AI, a UK-based AI consultancy. We are the data controller responsible for the use of cookies on this site.

Contact: enquiries@suzume.ai

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data more broadly.

3. Cookies We Use

We use three categories of cookies and similar technologies on this website:

Strictly Necessary Always Active

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as navigation, security, and form submission. Without them, parts of the site may not work correctly. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under PECR.

Analytics Optional

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, for example which pages are visited most and whether users encounter any errors. This information helps us improve the site. We may rely on the low-risk analytics exemption under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, but we provide an opt-out mechanism via our cookie banner.

Functional Optional

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your cookie consent preferences) and provide enhanced features. We use localStorage to store your cookie preferences so that the consent banner does not re-appear on subsequent visits.

We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling, or cross-site tracking. We do not serve third-party advertising cookies.

4. Third-Party Technologies

Some pages on this website load resources from third-party content delivery networks (CDNs). These include:

  • Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com), used to serve the Sora and DM Sans typefaces
  • Cloudflare CDN (cdnjs.cloudflare.com), used to serve Font Awesome icons
  • jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net), used on some pages to serve charting and data libraries

These providers may set their own cookies or collect limited technical data (such as your IP address) when resources are loaded. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the privacy policies of Google, Cloudflare, and jsDelivr for further information. Our Content Security Policy restricts third-party connections to minimise data flows.

5. Your Consent

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear at the bottom of the screen. You can:

  • Accept All - consent to all cookie categories (strictly necessary, analytics, and functional)
  • Cookie Settings - choose which optional categories to accept or decline
  • Reject Non-Essential - decline analytics and functional cookies, keeping only strictly necessary cookies active

Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key suzume_cookie_prefs. The banner will not re-appear on subsequent visits unless you clear your browser storage or your preference expires.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or cookies for this site, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.

6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

In addition to our in-site cookie controls, you can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View which cookies are stored on your device
  • Block all or specific cookies
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Set preferences for future cookies

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. The following links provide guidance for common browsers:

7. Legal Basis

Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), as amended by the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.

  • Strictly necessary cookies: permitted without consent under PECR Regulation 6(4)(b) as they are essential for the service requested by the user
  • Analytics cookies: we may rely on the low-risk analytics exemption under the DUAA 2025, subject to compliance conditions; we nonetheless provide opt-out controls
  • Functional cookies: placed on the basis of your consent, which you can withdraw at any time

8. Data Retention

Cookie data and consent preferences are retained for the following periods:

  • Cookie consent preferences (stored in localStorage): until you clear your browser storage. No server-side expiry is imposed by us.
  • Session data: deleted when you close your browser
  • Analytics data (if collected): up to 26 months, as described in our Privacy Policy

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
