This Cookies Policy explains how Taran Managed Services Limited, trading as Taran (“we“, “us“, “our“), uses cookies and similar technologies on www.taran.co.uk (the “Website“). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They’re widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.
2. The cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Can you disable it? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the Website to function — e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie preferences | No — these are essential |
| Functional | Remember choices you make (e.g. form entries) to improve your experience | Yes |
| Analytics/Performance | Help us understand how visitors use the Website, e.g. pages visited and time spent, so we can improve it [confirm: Google Analytics / other] | Yes |
| Marketing | Used to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and, where applicable, show relevant content on other sites [confirm if in use — e.g. LinkedIn Insight Tag, Meta Pixel] | Yes |
Indicative examples of the individual cookies these categories may include:

This table is indicative. The exact cookies in use can change as we update the Website — we recommend confirming the current list via your cookie consent tool (if one is installed) or a browser cookie inspection, and trimming the categories above to match reality before publishing.
3. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as:
- Google Analytics — website usage statistics
- Social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook) — if you interact with embedded content or share buttons
- Our support portal (support.taran.co.uk) — may set its own cookies when you log in, governed separately by that platform
We don’t control these third-party cookies directly. You can find out more about them on the relevant provider’s own privacy and cookie pages.
4. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- See what cookies you have and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from particular sites
- Block all cookies from being set
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
Bear in mind that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the Website works. For guidance, visit your browser’s help pages (e.g. search “manage cookies Chrome/Edge/Safari/Firefox”) or www.aboutcookies.org.
If we use a cookie consent banner on the Website, you can also change your preferences at any time by [reopening the cookie settings link in the footer — confirm mechanism].
