1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit – such as your preferences, your session state, or whether you have previously consented to cookies.
Cookies are not programmes and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other files on your device. Some cookies are set directly by the website you visit (first-party cookies); others are set by third-party services operating on that website (third-party cookies).
Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage serve related functions and are treated in the same way as cookies under UK and EU law. References to "cookies" in this policy include these technologies.

- To make the website function correctly and securely (strictly necessary)
- To understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it (analytics and performance)
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and deliver relevant content (marketing and personalisation)
We do not use cookies to build profiles of individual behaviour for sale to third parties, and we do not engage in any automated decision-making based solely on cookie data.
3. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit origin-aqua.com, a cookie consent banner will appear. You can choose to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or set your preferences category by category. Your choice is stored in a consent cookie (oa_cookie_consent) so we do not need to ask again on every visit.
You can update or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie settings" button displayed in the footer of every page on our website. Changes take effect immediately.
