Cookies and Browser Storage
Version 2026-07-12
Our current approach
SENCO AI currently uses cookies and browser storage needed to sign users in, protect authentication flows and remember choices they ask the service to retain. We do not currently use advertising cookies or cross-site behavioural tracking. Because the current items are strictly necessary or requested preference storage, the service does not display an accept/reject banner merely for these items.
We will not add optional analytics, advertising or similar storage without updating this notice and, where PECR requires it, asking for consent before setting it.

Browser settings can remove or block storage, but blocking authentication items will prevent sign-in and some preferences will reset. Contact privacy@sencoai.co.uk with questions. See our privacy notice for wider information about personal data.
