Cookie and local storage policy

1. What this policy covers

Cookies are small text files that websites may place on a device. Websites can also use similar technologies, including browser local storage, which saves information in your browser without automatically sending it with every request in the way a cookie is sent.

This policy covers the necessary browser storage used by the Xpress website and the necessary security cookie set when the public site is delivered through Cloudflare.

3. Current category status

• Necessary — in use. The privacy-choice record remembers the site setting, while the Cloudflare cookie helps protect the public website from harmful automated traffic.
• Preferences — not in use. The current site does not save optional personalisation settings.
• Analytics — not in use. The current site does not use analytics cookies or tracking tools.
• Marketing — not in use. The current site does not use advertising or campaign-tracking cookies.

4. Why these necessary technologies are used

The Xpress record avoids repeatedly showing the same privacy panel. The Cloudflare cookie supports the security and availability of the public website by helping its delivery network identify automated traffic. These technologies are not used to build advertising profiles.

Clearing or blocking browser storage will not stop you using the main website, but the choice may not be remembered and some security checks may be repeated.

5. Your controls

• Review the noticeUse the Cookie settings control shown on the website to reopen the privacy panel.
• Clear site dataRemove this site's cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time.
• Renew the choiceThe website asks you to confirm its necessary-only setting again after 180 days.
• Security-cookie expiryThe Cloudflare cookie expires after 30 minutes of continuous inactivity and may be set again when the public site is requested.
• No optional switchesBecause optional categories are not currently in use, there are no analytics, preference or marketing switches to enable.

6. Future tools and third parties

If Xpress later adds analytics, embedded maps or video, live chat, CAPTCHA, customer-management or form-delivery tools, advertising technology or another service that stores or reads information on your device, this policy and the website notice will be updated before those tools are used.

Any non-essential technology will remain off until an appropriate choice is available. The storage inventory will also be reviewed whenever the hosting, content-delivery or security setup changes.
