1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Helix Building Consultancy Limited (“Helix”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies when you visit our website.
Our website is hosted and operated using the Wix website platform. Cookies may therefore be placed on your device by Wix when you visit or interact with the website.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
 
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, mobile telephone or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow websites to operate correctly, maintain security, remember choices and, where permitted, collect information about how visitors use the website.
Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. These are known as session cookies. Other cookies remain for a specified period or until you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies.
 
3. How we use cookies

The Helix website uses cookies provided through the Wix platform.
These cookies may be used to:

• operate and secure the website;

• identify and prevent security threats or fraudulent activity;

• remember visitors’ cookie preferences;

• maintain the performance and stability of the website;

• enable website features requested by visitors; and

• understand how the website is used, where the visitor has consented to analytics cookies.

We do not currently use separate third-party advertising cookies, Google Analytics or Meta Pixel.
 
4. Types of cookies

Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for the website to function properly and securely.
They may be used for purposes such as:

• website security;

• fraud detection;

• network management;

• remembering cookie consent choices;

• maintaining the website during a browsing session; and

• providing features that a visitor has specifically requested.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website, they cannot normally be disabled through our cookie settings.
You can configure your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the website may then fail to function correctly.
 
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to provide additional features or remember choices made by a visitor.
Where functional cookies are not essential, they will only be used after the visitor has given consent through the website’s cookie banner.
Declining functional cookies may affect the availability or performance of certain website features.
 
Analytics cookies
Wix may provide analytics tools that help us understand how visitors use the website. This may include information such as:

• the number of visits to the website;

• which pages are viewed;

• how visitors navigate between pages;

• the approximate length of a visit;

• the type of device or browser used; and

• general information about how a visitor arrived at the website.

Analytics cookies are not required for the basic operation of the website. Where they are used, they will only be placed after the visitor has consented to analytics cookies through the cookie banner.
Information collected through website analytics is used to understand website performance and improve the information and services we provide.
 
Marketing cookies
Helix does not currently use cookies for personalised advertising or remarketing.
If marketing or advertising tools are added to the website in the future, this policy and the website’s cookie settings will be updated. Any non-essential marketing cookies will not be placed unless the visitor has first provided the required consent.
 
5. Cookies placed by Wix
Wix may use different cookies depending on the features installed or enabled on the website. The particular cookies used, their purposes and how long they remain on a visitor’s device may change as Wix updates its platform.
An up-to-date list of cookies detected on the website can be viewed through the Cookie Settings link or control displayed on the website.
Further information about cookies used by the Wix platform is available from Wix’s own privacy and cookie information.
 
6. Your cookie choices
When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie banner that allows you to:

• accept all cookies;

• reject non-essential cookies; or

• choose which categories of non-essential cookies you wish to allow.

Essential cookies may still be placed because they are required for the website to operate securely and provide services requested by the visitor.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the Cookie Settings link on the website and updating your preferences.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
 
7. Browser controls
Most internet browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings.
The method for doing this varies between browsers. Further information is normally available through the browser’s help or privacy settings.
Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the Helix website from operating correctly.
 
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if:

• the cookies used by the website change;

• new website features are introduced;

• Wix changes the way its platform uses cookies; or

• relevant legal or regulatory requirements change.

The date at the top of this policy will be updated when material changes are made.
Where appropriate, visitors may be asked to review or renew their cookie preferences.
