Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 August 2026
1. About this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how DORPO DIGITAL EU LTD (“dorpo Digital”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit:
Our website is built using WordPress and incorporates third-party services, including Mailchimp for email marketing.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Website Terms & Conditions.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that can be stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies and similar technologies can be used to:
- make a website operate correctly;
- provide security;
- remember preferences;
- process forms;
- understand how visitors use a website;
- provide embedded content; and
- support marketing and communications.
The term “cookies” in this policy also includes similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device. These may include tracking pixels, scripts, tags, local storage and other technologies covered by applicable legislation.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) confirms that these rules apply not only to traditional cookies but also to technologies such as tracking pixels, web storage, scripts and tags.
3. WordPress
Our Website is built using WordPress.
WordPress provides the underlying content-management system for the Website. WordPress itself, together with plugins, themes and other services installed on the Website, may use cookies or similar technologies.
These technologies may be used for purposes including:
- Website functionality;
- security;
- spam prevention;
- form functionality;
- session management;
- remembering preferences; and
- other essential technical functions.
The exact cookies generated by WordPress depend on the configuration of the Website and the plugins and services installed.
We do not regard all WordPress-related cookies as automatically exempt from consent. Where a cookie or similar technology is not strictly necessary for a service requested by the visitor, we will obtain consent where required by law.
4. Cookies Used on Our Website
Our Website uses cookies and third-party services.
Cookies and similar technologies used on the Website fall into the following categories.
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Website to operate or to provide a service specifically requested by the visitor.
They may include technologies used for:
- Website security;
- spam prevention;
- contact and service-enquiry forms;
- cookie-consent preferences;
- basic WordPress functionality; and
- other essential Website functions.
Where a cookie is strictly necessary to provide an online service requested by the visitor, consent may not be required.
The ICO’s current guidance makes clear that the exemption is limited to technologies that are genuinely necessary to provide the service requested by the user. Technologies that are merely convenient or useful to the website operator are not automatically exempt.
4.2 Preference Cookies
Preference cookies may be used to remember choices made by visitors, such as Website or cookie-consent preferences.
Where applicable law requires consent for these technologies, they will only be activated after appropriate consent has been provided.
4.3 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the Website and to help us improve its performance.
Depending on the services installed, this may include information such as:
- pages visited;
- visitor numbers;
- referring websites;
- browser and device information;
- approximate geographical information;
- time spent on pages; and
- Website performance.
Analytics technologies will not be treated as strictly necessary simply because they help us understand Website usage. Where consent is required, we will obtain consent before using them.
4.4 Embedded Content
Some pages on the Website contain embedded video or other third-party content.
For example, the Technical Support section of the Website contains embedded instructional videos.
Third-party video or embedded-content providers may place cookies or use similar technologies when their content is loaded or interacted with.
Where such technologies require consent, we will seek consent before they are activated.
The precise third-party provider and technologies may depend on the embedded content used on the Website.
4.5 Marketing and Advertising Technologies
If we use marketing, advertising or tracking technologies on the Website, these may be used to:
- measure marketing activity;
- understand interactions with marketing content;
- measure campaigns;
- understand visitor behaviour; or
- provide other marketing functionality.
Where consent is required, these technologies will only be activated following appropriate consent.
5. Mailchimp
We use Mailchimp, provided by Intuit Inc., to manage our email marketing.
Mailchimp may receive information submitted through our Website’s marketing subscription forms, such as your name and email address.
Mailchimp is used to:
- maintain our marketing subscriber database;
- manage subscriptions;
- send marketing emails;
- manage subscriber preferences; and
- provide information about email engagement.
Mailchimp may use tracking technologies in emails to provide information such as whether an email has been delivered, opened or interacted with.
These email tracking technologies are different from cookies placed on the dorpo Digital Website.
Our use of Mailchimp and the personal information processed through it is explained further in our Privacy Policy.
6. Email Marketing and Cookies
If you subscribe to dorpo Digital marketing communications, the emails we send through Mailchimp may contain technologies that allow us to determine whether an email has been opened or whether links within an email have been clicked.
This information may be used to understand the effectiveness of our communications and improve future marketing.
You can unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
7. Cookie Consent
Where consent is required, we will ask for consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
Our consent mechanism should provide visitors with meaningful choices, including the ability to reject non-essential technologies.
We will not treat simply continuing to browse the Website as consent.
Consent must involve a clear affirmative action.
The ICO’s current guidance confirms that consent must be freely given, specific and informed and involve an unambiguous positive action.
8. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Where our Website provides a cookie-preference mechanism, you can use it to change your preferences.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to:
- see which cookies have been stored;
- delete cookies;
- block cookies;
- block third-party cookies; and
- change cookie preferences.
Blocking certain cookies may affect the operation or functionality of parts of the Website.
9. Third-Party Services
Our Website may use third-party services in addition to WordPress and Mailchimp.
These services may include providers of:
- embedded video;
- Website security;
- spam prevention;
- hosting;
- analytics;
- forms;
- social media;
- marketing; and
- other Website functionality.
Third-party providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Where required, we will obtain appropriate consent before allowing non-essential third-party technologies to operate.
10. Cookie Summary

11. Why We Cannot Provide a Permanent List of Cookie Names
The precise cookies and similar technologies used by a WordPress website can change when:
- WordPress is updated;
- plugins are installed, removed or updated;
- embedded content is changed;
- third-party services are changed; or
- Website functionality is changed.
For this reason, this Cookie Policy describes the categories and purposes of technologies used rather than providing a static list of cookie names that could become inaccurate.
We will review the technologies used by the Website periodically and update this policy where appropriate.
12. Personal Information
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal information.
Where this occurs, we will process that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection legislation.
13. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:
- changes to our Website;
- changes to WordPress;
- changes to WordPress plugins;
- changes to Mailchimp;
- changes to third-party services;
- changes in technology; or
- changes in applicable law.
The “Last updated” date at the beginning of this policy will be amended when material changes are made.
