This Cookies Policy explains how AI for SME (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on aiforsme.co.uk (“our website”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites operate efficiently, remember your preferences, analyse performance, and sometimes deliver personalised or affiliate-linked content.
We also use comparable technologies such as tracking pixels and local storage, which operate in a similar way.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot disable these through our consent banner, although you may block them via your browser settings (which could affect how the site works).

Performance (Analytics) Cookies
These cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use our website—for example, which pages are most frequently visited or if error messages occur. We use this data to improve usability and content quality (for example, via Google Analytics).
We only place performance cookies after you give consent.

Functionality Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences, such as language, location, or cookie settings, and help tailor your experience. They may also support embedded content such as videos or forms. These are optional and require your consent.

Marketing and Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click on an affiliate link on our website, a small cookie may be placed by the third-party provider (for example, Jasper, Teachable, or other partners). These cookies track whether you complete a purchase or sign-up, allowing us to earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Under UK law, these are considered marketing cookies and therefore require your explicit consent before being set. We do not receive personal information from these cookies, only aggregated referral data. We recommend reading the cookie and privacy policies of each third-party site you visit via our links.

AI-Related or Personalisation Cookies 
Some site features may use cookies to improve or personalise AI-generated recommendations, chatbot responses, or dynamic content. These are used solely to enhance your experience and are optional. No automated decision-making or profiling occurs that has legal or significant effects on you.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie banner giving you clear choices to:
• Accept or reject all non-essential cookies
• Manage consent by category (Analytics, Functionality, Marketing)
• Withdraw or change your preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” at the bottom of any page

You can also control or block cookies through your browser. Guidance is available at www.aboutcookies.org

Necessary Cookies and Consent Timing
Only strictly necessary cookies are set before you provide consent. All other cookies—including analytics, affiliate tracking, and AI-personalisation cookies—are placed only after you have opted in via the consent banner.

Third-Party Services
We may use third-party tools such as Google Analytics, affiliate networks, or embedded content like YouTube. These providers may set their own cookies when you interact with their services. Please refer to their individual privacy or cookie policies for details.

Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. The “Last updated” date above will indicate when it was most recently revised.
