Cookies & online preferences
You decide how non-essential technologies are used.
This policy explains the cookies and similar storage or access technologies used on the Premier DMC website, why we use them, when consent is required and how you can manage your choices.
Who this policy applies to
One Ventora Group company. Premier DMC website choices.
This Cookie Policy applies to Ventora Group Ltd, trading as Premier DMC, in relation to the Premier DMC website.
Ventora Group Ltd is registered in England and Wales under company number 16684090, with its registered office at 71–75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal information more generally.
We apply the UK rules governing cookies and similar technologies, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (“PECR”) and, where personal data is involved, the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
01
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on, or accessed from, your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you use a website.
They can perform functions such as keeping a website secure, remembering choices, measuring how a website is used or supporting advertising and other online services.
02
Cookies are not the only technology covered
PECR applies more broadly to technologies that store information on, or access information from, a user's device. Depending on the way our website and service providers are configured, this can include:
- browser cookies and local or session storage;
- tracking pixels and similar tags;
- scripts and tag-management technologies;
- link decoration or navigational tracking;
- device identifiers or fingerprinting technologies; and
- similar storage and access technologies.
In this policy, we use the word “cookies” as a convenient shorthand for these technologies unless the context requires otherwise.
03
How we categorise website technologies
Strictly necessary
Used where essential to provide a website function or service you request, or for another applicable PECR exception. These can include security, load balancing, consent-recording and core website functions.
Analytics & statistics
Used to understand website traffic and performance. Some limited statistical analytics may qualify for a statutory exception; other analytics uses require consent.
Preferences & functionality
Used to remember choices or adapt how the website appears or works. Some limited preference uses may qualify for an exception; otherwise consent is required.
Marketing & tracking
Used for advertising, remarketing, conversion tracking, profiling or tracking people across services. These technologies are not treated as strictly necessary and are used only with the consent required by law.
04
When we ask for consent — and when an exception may apply
Where no PECR exception applies, we obtain valid consent before storing or accessing information on your device. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and indicated by a clear positive action.
Simply continuing to browse the website is not treated as consent to non-exempt tracking.
Strictly necessary technologies
Consent is not required where storage or access is strictly necessary to provide an online service you have requested, or where another statutory exception applies. We still explain these technologies to you.
Statistical-purpose exception
Current UK law includes a limited exception for technologies used solely to collect statistical information about use of a website or service with a view to improving it, provided the legal conditions are met. Among other things, the information must be used for qualifying statistical purposes rather than identifying or tracking individual visitors, and users must be given clear information and a simple, free means to object.
If analytics is also used for advertising, profiling, individual-level tracking, conversion sharing or another non-exempt purpose, we obtain consent rather than relying on this exception.
Appearance / preference exception
A limited exception may also apply where a technology is used solely to adapt the appearance or functionality of a service to your preference and the statutory conditions are met, including an appropriate means of objecting.
Where a technology does not clearly meet a legal exception, it should remain disabled until the required consent has been obtained.
05
The cookies currently used on this website
The exact cookie names, providers and durations can change when our WordPress installation, security tools, analytics, embeds, forms, marketing systems or other site services are updated.
For that reason, the live cookie consent and preference tool on this website is the current cookie declaration. It should identify the active technologies, their category, provider, purpose and duration based on the site's current configuration.
| Category | Typical purpose | Consent position | How to review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, network delivery, consent records and functionality required to provide a requested service. | No consent where a valid PECR exception applies. | View the essential/necessary section of the live preference tool. |
| Analytics / statistical | Website traffic, page performance and service-improvement statistics. | Consent unless the particular use satisfies the statutory statistical-purpose exception. | View the analytics section and your current preference. |
| Functional / preference | Remembering or applying website preferences and optional features. | Depends on whether an applicable exception is satisfied; otherwise consent. | View the functional/preferences section. |
| Marketing / advertising | Advertising, remarketing, profiling, conversion attribution and cross-service tracking. | Consent required where used for these non-exempt purposes. | View the advertising/marketing section. |
View the live cookie declaration
Open the site's preference centre to see the technologies currently detected and manage your choices.
We intentionally do not hard-code a short list such as _ga, _gid or a particular consent cookie into this legal page unless those technologies are confirmed by the current site scan. A static list can quickly become inaccurate.
06
Third-party services
Some website functions may involve third-party providers — for example analytics, embedded content, maps, videos, forms, security, advertising or social-media services.
A third party may set or access information on your device only in accordance with the applicable PECR rules and the choices available through our consent mechanism. Where a provider uses personal information for its own purposes, its own privacy information may also apply.
We review third-party technology use as part of our website and privacy-management process and aim to ensure that the information presented through our cookie tool remains current.
07
How to manage, reject or withdraw your choices
You can use the cookie banner or preference centre to accept, reject or manage technologies that are subject to consent. Where we rely on a statutory exception that requires an objection mechanism, the relevant control should also be made available through the site.
You can withdraw a consent choice at any time. Withdrawal does not make earlier processing unlawful; it changes what we may do going forward.
Rejecting non-essential technologies should not prevent you from using the core website, although some optional functions may not work as intended.

Use the preference centre to review or update your settings.
Browser controls
Most browsers also allow you to block, delete or restrict cookies. Browser controls operate separately from our consent mechanism and can affect essential or requested website functions if configured broadly.
08
Personal data & international transfers
Some technologies may involve processing of personal information by providers located outside the United Kingdom or using international infrastructure.
Where personal data is involved, our Privacy Policy explains the UK GDPR framework we use for international transfers, including adequacy regulations, appropriate contractual safeguards or another lawful mechanism where required.
We do not make a blanket statement that every overseas cookie provider uses the same safeguard; the appropriate transfer mechanism depends on the provider, processing and destination.
09
Your privacy rights
Where cookie or similar technology data is personal data, you may have rights under UK data-protection law, including rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and withdrawal of consent where applicable.
Those rights are not absolute in every circumstance. Full information about your rights and how to exercise them is available in our Privacy Policy.
