What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to the website owner.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pleiad Group) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., security, analytics, interactive content).
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies on this website for the following reasons:
- To ensure the website functions properly and securely (strictly necessary cookies);
- To understand how visitors interact with the website so we can improve it (analytics cookies, only with your consent);
- To remember your cookie preferences so we don’t ask you again on every visit (consent cookies).
We do not use cookies for advertising, marketing, profiling, or behavioural tracking.
Your cookie choices
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can:
- Accept all cookies — allows all categories listed below;
- Reject non-essential cookies — only strictly necessary cookies will be set;
- Manage preferences — choose which categories you accept on a per-category basis.
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Manage cookie preferences” option which is available via the small cookie icon at the bottom-left of every page.
Cookies used on this website
This website uses only strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the site to function properly and securely. We do not currently use any analytics, performance, advertising, or tracking cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not then work.

No analytics, performance, or advertising cookies
At this time, our website does not set any cookies for analytics, performance monitoring, advertising, or behavioural tracking. If we add such cookies in the future, this policy will be updated and visitors will be asked to consent before any non-essential cookies are set.

Third parties and international transfers
Some of the cookies listed above are set by third parties (Cloudflare and GoDaddy).
