Cookie Policy

How we use cookies, how they help our website work, and how you stay in control.

Last updated: 3 October 2026.

About this policy

This policy explains how X8 Drones Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on x8drones.uk. Read it alongside our Privacy Notice.

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies, such as browser storage, can also remember information between visits.

Essential functionality and security

We use Complianz to remember your cookie choices and Cloudflare to support website security and delivery. Technologies strictly necessary for these functions do not depend on your consent to optional analytics.

Optional analytics

With your permission, we use Google Analytics and StatCounter to understand how visitors use our website. These services help us measure visits, pages viewed and interactions, using information such as browser and device details and online identifiers.

Our website is configured to block optional analytics scripts until you consent. You can reject optional analytics and still browse the website or contact us.

Cookie details

The following first-party cookies were identified in visitor-browser checks on 3 October 2026. The analytics cookies were present after optional cookies were accepted and absent in a fresh visit after optional cookies were rejected. These checks describe the visits tested, not a guarantee that every browser or interaction behaves identically.

Consent cookies are configured for 365 days. The analytics cookies showed expiry dates approximately 13 months after the test visit. Providers document longer default lifetimes, but browser limits and service settings can shorten them. Expiry may be refreshed on later visits.

Complianz — essential consent preferences

Complianz sets the following cookies on our domain to remember your choices, for up to 365 days:

cmplz_banner-status — remembers whether the notice has been dismissed.
cmplz_consented_services — records consent choices for services.
cmplz_functional — records the functional-cookie category.
cmplz_preferences — records your preference-cookie choice.
cmplz_statistics — records your analytics choice.
cmplz_marketing — records your marketing-category choice.
cmplz_policy_id — records the version of the consent policy.

These cookies store consent preferences; the presence of a category cookie such as cmplz_marketing does not itself mean advertising trackers are running.

Google Analytics — optional statistics

_ga distinguishes visitors and _ga_SY5PQ8B6J9 maintains session information. Both were observed on our domain after acceptance, with expiry approximately 13 months after the test visit. Google documents a default expiry of two years, subject to browser limits and configuration. These analytics cookies are optional. See Google’s cookie information.

StatCounter — optional statistics

sc_is_visitor_unique helps StatCounter recognise repeat visits and avoid counting a visitor more than once. This optional first-party cookie was observed after acceptance, with expiry approximately 13 months after the test visit. StatCounter documents a default duration of two years, subject to browser restrictions. See StatCounter’s cookie information.

Cloudflare — website protection

No Cloudflare cookies appeared in the visitor-cookie lists checked on 3 October 2026. Security challenges or different protection features may result in additional cookies on other visits. For information about cookies associated with those features, see Cloudflare’s cookie information.

Your choices

Use Accept optional, Reject optional or Settings in our cookie notice. You can change or withdraw your consent using Cookie settings.

Withdrawing consent stops future optional analytics loading; it does not undo processing that has already taken place. You can also delete existing cookies or block them through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect some website functions.

If browser settings or an extension hide the cookie controls, contact us for assistance.
