Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Cookie Notice explains how Cambridge Investments Limited (“Cambridge“, “we“, “us” and “ours“) use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our websites and client portals (our “Websites“). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

For more information about how we collect your personal information when you use or interact with our services, please see our Privacy Notice which is available at https://www.cambridgeinvestments.co.uk/data-protection-statement/.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.  Website owners can use cookies for a variety of reasons that can include enabling their websites to work (or work more efficiently), providing personalised content and advertising, and creating website analytics.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Cambridge) are called “first party cookies”. Only the website owner can access the first party cookies it sets.  Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and social sharing).  The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits other websites that have partnered with them.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons that are strictly necessary for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to provide Website functionality, or to enhance visitors’ experience on our Website. This is described in more detail below.

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below.

Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

Analytics and customisation cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Websites are being used or how effective are marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Websites for you.

How long will cookies last?

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies’, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are ‘permanent cookies’, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed and can be used by websites to recognise your computer when you later re-open your browser and browse the internet again.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website.  We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”).  These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them.  This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns.  In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will often impair their functioning.

How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies that are not essential.  You can exercise your cookie preferences through our cookie consent tool, which you can access here <insert link>.

You can also block cookies by changing your browser settings so that cookies from our Website cannot be placed on your computer or mobile device. The “help” portion of the toolbar on most internet browsers will tell you how to change your browser cookie settings, including how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable cookies altogether. Please note that if you choose not to accept cookies you may not have may not have access to certain features that make your experience of our Website more efficient and some of the features on our Website may not function properly.

You can also disable Google analytics cookies by downloading the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser Add-on provided by Google:

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.  If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

How often will we update this Cookie Notice?

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.  Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
