Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites operate properly, remember certain preferences, improve security and provide information about how the website is used.

2. How We Use Cookies

Illuminex Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation, security and performance of this website.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Others, such as analytics or advertising-related cookies, will only be used where you have provided the relevant consent through our cookie preferences tool.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We may use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies – required for the core operation, security and stability of the website.
• Preference and consent cookies – used to remember your cookie choices and related settings.
• Analytics cookies – used to understand how visitors use the website and to improve performance, where consent has been given.
• Advertising or marketing cookies – these may be used in connection with platforms such as LinkedIn and, where introduced in future, Meta, but only where appropriate consent has been obtained.

4. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function correctly. These may include cookies or similar technologies used for page delivery, security controls, spam prevention and the storage of essential session or consent-related settings.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website, they do not require consent under PECR.

5. Analytics Cookies

Where consent has been provided, we may use analytics technologies such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website, including which pages are visited, how long visitors remain on the site and how the website performs across devices and browsers.

Analytics cookies are not activated unless you have positively accepted them through our cookie preferences tool.

6. Google reCAPTCHA and Security Technologies

We use Google reCAPTCHA and related security technologies to help protect our website and forms from spam, automated abuse and malicious activity.

These technologies may collect device and interaction data as part of their security function. Their use is subject to Google’s own terms and privacy documentation.

7. Advertising and Tracking Technologies

We may use advertising, remarketing or conversion tracking technologies provided by third-party platforms such as LinkedIn in support of recruitment marketing and business development activity. Similar technologies, including Meta, may be introduced in future.

Where these technologies are used, they are subject to an appropriate consent mechanism and are not activated unless the relevant consent has been provided through our cookie preferences tool.

8. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can accept, reject or amend your preferences for non-essential cookies using the cookie preferences tool available on this website. You may update your preferences at any time by clicking here.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that restricting certain cookies may affect website functionality and your experience of using the site.

9. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser session, whilst others remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted manually.

The duration will depend on the specific cookie and its purpose, including whether it is required for session management, consent storage or analytics.

10. Cookies Across Our UK and USA Websites

This Cookie Policy covers www.illuminex.co.uk and www.illuminexconsultancy.com. Both websites are operated by Illuminex Ltd.

The UK website provides our main recruitment and operational services. The Eastern USA website is a standalone introduction to our services and may direct visitors to the UK website for enquiries, candidate registration and job applications.

The websites may use different cookies and related technologies according to their functions. Optional analytics and advertising technologies will be subject to appropriate consent requirements before activation.

Cookie preferences are managed separately on each website because they operate on different domains. Choices made on one website do not automatically apply to the other.

To review or change your cookie choices, use the cookie preferences control on the website you are currently visiting. The Eastern USA website provides its own consent and preferences controls.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, website functionality or the technologies we use. The latest version will always be published on this page.

12. Contact

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or similar technologies, please contact us at hello@illuminex.co.uk.
