This policy explains how Penned uses cookies and similar technologies on penned.uk, and the choices you have. By "cookies" we mean small files stored on your device, plus similar methods such as local storage.
The cookies we use
Essential
These are needed for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice. They don't track you and are always on. This includes a small consent preference cookie that records whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies, so we don't ask you every visit.
Analytics & marketing (optional — off until you accept)
With your consent, we use Google tools loaded through Google Tag Manager — Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used, and Google Ads to measure the performance of our advertising. These set cookies only after you choose "Accept".
Your consent and how we honour it
We use Google Consent Mode v2. Until you make a choice, analytics and marketing cookies are set to denied and no such cookies are stored. If you select "Accept", we enable them; if you select "Reject", they stay off. Essential cookies are used regardless, as they're strictly necessary.
Changing your choice
You can withdraw or change consent at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser — the banner will then reappear so you can choose again. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Details for common browsers are available in their help pages.
Third-party information
Google acts as a provider of the analytics and advertising services above. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will appear on this page with a revised date above.
