Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12/09/2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Homestead Project uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://homesteadproject.co.uk.
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to make the website function correctly, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the website, and, where you give the appropriate consent, support advertising and personalised content.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that can be stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.
They allow a website to recognise your device and can be used for a variety of purposes, including keeping you signed in, remembering shopping-basket contents, measuring website usage and providing relevant advertising.
Other technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage and similar identifiers, may also be used for purposes similar to cookies. For simplicity, this policy refers to these technologies collectively as “cookies” unless a distinction is necessary.
2. How We Use Cookies
Homestead Project may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

These cookies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie-consent system because the website may not function correctly without them.

For example, they may help remember preferences or improve the way particular features operate.

When you first visit the website, you may be presented with a consent message explaining the purposes for which personal data may be processed and providing options for managing your choices.
Your choices may be used to communicate your consent or refusal to relevant services and advertising partners.
The consent system may also provide information about the vendors or partners that may process personal data.

When you first visit our website, you can choose whether to consent to certain types of cookies and related processing through the consent message displayed on the website.
You can also change or withdraw your choices later through the privacy or cookie settings available on the website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

These may include services such as:
