1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how RMS Research & Marketing Services Limited (“RMS”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. Read this alongside our Privacy Notice. Non‑essential cookies are only used with your consent.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store information. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage; we refer to them collectively as “cookies”.

3. Types of cookies we use

• Strictly necessary – required for security and core features. Do not require consent.

• Functional – improve features and remember preferences. Require consent.

• Analytics – help us understand site use and improve performance. Require consent.

• Advertising – used to deliver relevant advertising and measure performance. Require consent (not currently used).

4. Legal basis

For strictly necessary cookies, our legal basis is legitimate interests (running a secure, usable website). For all other cookies, our legal basis is consent under PECR. Consent is collected through our cookie banner and can be withdrawn at any time.

5. Your choices

On your first visit you can Accept, Reject, or manage settings for non‑essential cookies via the banner. You can change your preferences at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in our footer.

6. Cookies we set

We set a small number of essential cookies so the site works and to store your consent choices, for example a cookie that remembers whether you accepted or rejected non‑essential cookies. Non‑essential cookies (Functional/Analytics/Advertising) are only activated after you give consent.

7. Third‑party cookies

If we use third‑party services (for example analytics, performance or chat tools), those providers may set cookies. Where applicable, we ensure appropriate data‑transfer safeguards are in place. We will update this policy if we add or remove third‑party tools.

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always appear on this page with the revision date.
