Cookie Policy
About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the Yacht Safety and Environmental Consortium website uses cookies and similar technologies. The website is managed by Lloyd’s Register and built using Squarespace.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website. They help websites operate correctly, remember preferences and, where permitted, provide information about how a website is used. Some cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies. Other cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
How we use cookies
This website uses two categories of cookies:
Necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate securely and provide functions requested by visitors. They may support functions such as:
Website security;
Protection against fraudulent or malicious activity;
Contact-form operation;
Network and session management; and
Remembering your cookie preferences.
Necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie banner because the website may not operate properly without them. Consent is not generally required where a cookie is strictly necessary, but we still provide information about its use.
Analytics and performance cookies
With your consent, Squarespace uses analytics and performance cookies to help us understand how visitors interact with the website. This can include information about visitor numbers, sessions, pages viewed and traffic sources. We use this aggregated information to assess website performance and improve its content. We do not use advertising or behavioural-targeting cookies.
These cookies should not be placed unless you select Accept analytics cookies or otherwise provide consent through the cookie banner.
Squarespace necessary cookies
The particular necessary cookies placed by Squarespace vary according to the features used and the way the website is configured. As this website does not provide customer accounts, e-commerce, shopping-cart or checkout functionality, cookies associated solely with those features are not expected to apply. Squarespace may change its platform cookies from time to time. The current Squarespace list, including purposes and durations, is available in The cookies Squarespace uses.
Your cookie choices
When you first visit the website, you can choose whether to permit non-essential analytics cookies.
You can:
Accept analytics cookies;
Reject analytics cookies; or
Change your choice later through the website’s cookie settings.
Necessary cookies will remain active because they support the website’s essential operation. You can also remove or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how the website operates. Browser controls vary, so consult your browser’s help pages for instructions. Under UK requirements, visitors must be told what cookies do, and non-essential cookies require active consent. Simply continuing to browse is not sufficient consent. ICO cookie guidance.

We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies, the Squarespace platform or applicable requirements change. The latest version will appear on this page with its updated revision date.
