CIKABOU LTD ("CIKABOU", "we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://cikabou.site to deliver a secure, reliable, and high-performing digital experience. This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies are deployed when you visit our corporate website, including pages related to our energy trading operations, supply partnerships, market expertise, and corporate information.
Cookies support core website functionality, enable us to analyse traffic patterns across our services, and help safeguard the integrity of our UK electricity sector insights and trading-related content. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to operate securely, while others are optional and used only with your consent, for example to refine navigation flows or understand how our pages are used by commercial partners and other stakeholders.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, which describe how we process personal data more broadly, including where such processing is linked to cookie technologies.
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (such as your computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. Your browser sends these cookies back to the website each time you return, allowing the site to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit.
Cookies typically contain technical identifiers, usage timestamps, and configuration values that help a website function effectively and securely. They do not execute code or access information stored on your device beyond what is necessary to perform their defined purpose.
Cookies can be categorised in several ways, including by their lifespan and by who sets them:
Your browser provides controls to view, manage, and delete cookies stored on your device. The mechanisms differ between browsers, but the principle remains the same: you decide which cookies you wish to allow or restrict.
CIKABOU LTD deploys cookies and similar technologies for several key reasons aligned with our commitment to precision, reliability, and security in the UK electricity sector. Our primary objectives are to ensure that the website operates correctly, to protect both our infrastructure and users, and to improve how stakeholders interact with our content and services.
Specifically, we use cookies to:
We do not use cookies to engage in intrusive profiling or to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you without appropriate safeguards. Any use of cookies that involves personal data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK GDPR.
To provide transparency, we group the cookies used on https://cikabou.site into the following categories. The specific cookies and their lifespans may evolve as we refine our infrastructure and analytics implementations, but they will remain aligned with the purposes described below.
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as navigating between pages, loading secure content, or setting privacy preferences.
Performance cookies allow us to count visits, understand traffic sources, and measure how visitors engage with our content. They help us improve how the site functions without identifying you directly.
Functionality cookies enable enhanced features and more tailored interactions, often resulting in a more efficient experience for returning visitors.
Where used, targeting cookies help us refine how we present information about our services and expertise. They do not enable open advertising marketplaces on our site but can support more focused communication with our professional audience.
Many of the cookies in the categories above are first-party cookies set by CIKABOU LTD. Where third-party cookies are used for analytics or other strictly controlled purposes, they are placed only by service providers operating under contractual data protection obligations.
We respect your control over how cookies are used when you interact with our site. You can manage your preferences in two primary ways: through our on-site cookie preferences tool and via your browser settings.
When you first visit https://cikabou.site, you may see a banner or interface asking you to confirm your cookie choices. Through this tool, you can accept all categories of cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your selections by category (for example, disabling analytics cookies while keeping strictly necessary cookies enabled).
If you adjust your settings, we will implement your choices as soon as reasonably possible and update the relevant cookie records. Your most recent consent state will always take precedence.
You can also manage cookies directly within your browser, including blocking certain types of cookies or deleting cookies already stored on your device. The process varies between browsers, but instructions are typically available within each browser's help or settings section.
For further guidance, you may wish to consult support resources for the browser you use, such as:
Please be aware that blocking or deleting certain cookies may impact the availability or performance of some features on our website. Essential security and core functionality cookies may be required for the site to operate correctly.
In addition to cookies set directly by CIKABOU LTD, we may allow selected, trusted third-party service providers to place cookies on your device when you visit https://cikabou.site. These providers support our operations in areas such as secure hosting, traffic analytics, performance monitoring, and embedded corporate content.
Typical purposes for third-party cookies include:
We carefully select service providers and require them to process data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK GDPR. This includes implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures, limiting processing to explicitly defined purposes, and ensuring that any international data transfers are subject to valid safeguards.
Where third-party cookies are used for non-essential purposes (for example, advanced analytics), they will only be activated based on your consent choices recorded through our cookie preferences interface. You can revoke or adjust this consent at any time.
Cookies used on https://cikabou.site may remain on your device for different periods of time, depending on whether they are session or persistent cookies and the purpose they serve.
Session cookies are created when you begin a browsing session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They typically support functions such as secure navigation, temporary configuration storage, and short-lived traffic distribution across our infrastructure.
Persistent cookies remain stored on your device after your browser is closed and are set to expire after a predefined period, which may range from a few hours to several months, depending on their purpose. For example, persistent cookies may remember your cookie consent choices so that you do not need to reconfirm them each time you visit the site.
We design our retention practices so that cookies are stored only for as long as necessary to achieve their stated function, after which they are automatically removed or refreshed with updated values where appropriate.
In addition to cookie-specific expiry mechanisms, CIKABOU LTD periodically reviews the cookies and similar technologies deployed across our website. As part of this review process, we may update configurations, remove obsolete cookies, or adjust lifespans to align with evolving technical, legal, and business requirements.
Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, that processing is governed by applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and associated legislation. CIKABOU LTD is committed to maintaining robust safeguards over any personal data associated with cookie-based activities.
Depending on your location and the specific circumstances of processing, you may have the following rights in respect of personal data linked to cookies:
Protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and data is fundamental to CIKABOU LTD's role within the UK electricity sector. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect data processed via cookies, including:
Further information about how we secure and handle personal data, including data not derived from cookies, is available in our Privacy Policy.
