Last updated: 30 July 2025

1. Introduction

This Cookies Policy explains how FXL7 (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It also describes how third parties may place cookies through our website and how you can manage or refuse these cookies.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. It is written to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

2. Who We Are

FXL7 is currently operated by Zayn Syed as a self-employed sole trader in the United Kingdom.

This policy will continue to apply after incorporation, when FXL7 Ltd. will become the legal data controller. At that time, the company registration number will be added to this policy.

3. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies may be:
– First-party: set directly by FXL7.
– Third-party: set by service providers we use.

Cookies can also be:
– Session cookies: expire when you close your browser.
– Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a set period.

4. How We Use Cookies

FXL7 uses cookies for the following purposes:
– Website functionality – to ensure our site works as intended (e.g. navigation, security, form submissions).
– Analytics and performance – to understand how users interact with our website (e.g. which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page).
– User preferences – to remember choices you make (e.g. language selection, cookie consent settings).
– Third-party integrations – to enable services such as booking tools, embedded forms, and social media content.
– Future marketing and retargeting – if we implement marketing cookies in future (e.g. Google Ads, Meta Pixel), these will only run with explicit user consent.

5. Types of Cookies We Use

  1. a) Strictly Necessary Cookies
    These cookies are essential for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They include cookies for site security, server load balancing, and basic navigation.

    b) Analytics Cookies
    These cookies help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve performance and content. For example, we use Google Analytics to collect anonymised traffic data.

    c) Functional Cookies
    These cookies remember user preferences and enhance the user experience (for example, saving form entries temporarily).

    d) Third-Party Service Cookies
    Some cookies are set by third-party services we integrate with. For example:
    – Calendly (used for bookings)
    – Google Analytics (used for tracking website performance)
    – Social media embeds (LinkedIn, Instagram, or others)

    These third parties may set cookies to track usage of their services. Each provider is responsible for its own cookie practices.

6. Third-Party Data Collection

When you interact with third-party tools on our site, such as Calendly for booking consultations, those providers may collect personal data (e.g. name, email address, phone number) in line with their own privacy and cookies policies.

FXL7 does not control these third-party cookies but ensures that any third-party provider we use is contractually required to comply with UK GDPR and process data lawfully.
