GDPR Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 26, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Community Infosource (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, https://infosource.org.uk/ (the “Website”).
As a registered Scottish Charity (SC049135), we are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors, supporters, and the community members we serve. This policy should be read alongside our official Privacy Policy, which outlines how we collect and process personal data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and ensure certain features work correctly.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, cookies that process personal identifiers require your explicit, active consent before they can be placed on your device—with the exception of strictly necessary cookies.
2. The Legal Basis for Using Cookies
We respect your privacy by default. We only use non-essential cookies if you give us your explicit, affirmative consent.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Processed based on our legitimate interest to provide a secure, accessible, and functional website for our users (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).
- Analytics, Functional, and Marketing Cookies: Processed entirely based on your explicit consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), which you grant via our website’s cookie consent banner.
3. How We Categorise Our Cookies
We group the cookies used on the Community Infosource website into four main categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for you to browse the website, navigate our project pages, and use basic features. The website cannot function properly without these.
- Functional Cookies: Allow our website to remember choices you make (such as language preferences or interactive elements) to provide a more tailored experience.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with our website (e.g., tracking page views on our Challenging Violence Against Women or Wellbeing project pages). We use this data strictly to assess the reach of our work and improve our digital resources.
- Targeting & Marketing Cookies: These may be used if we embed external tools (like PayPal for donations or YouTube videos). Third-party networks utilise these cookies to track cross-site behaviour and measure interactions.

5. How to Manage, Record, and Withdraw Consent
When you first visit our Website, you will see a Cookie Consent Banner. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or selectively adjust your settings.

- Withdraw Consent At Any Time: You have the absolute right to change your mind. You can reopen the consent banner and adjust your preferences at any time by clicking the “Manage Cookie Preferences” or “Cookie Settings” tab, which is always accessible at the bottom of our web pages.
- Consent Records: To comply with UK GDPR accountability principles, our consent management platform automatically logs your choice with an anonymised token, the date, and the time. This log acts as our official compliance record and does not contain identifying personal data.
- Browser Control: You can also block or clear cookies directly through your internet browser settings (such as Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge).
