Cookie Notice

Last updated: 12 November 2026

This notice explains how Approven Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and online funding application.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can also store or access information on your device. We refer to these collectively as “cookies”.

Cookies we use

Our website does not use cookies or any similar technology. It does not store anything on your device, and it does not use analytics or advertising tools.

Our online funding application does not use cookies either. It uses your browser’s own storage to save your application on your device as you go, so that you can come back and finish it later. This information stays on your device. It is not shared with anyone and is used only to fill the form back in for you. The application uses three items:

  • approven:enquiry-draft (browser local storage): an encrypted copy of the answers you have entered, saved each time you move to the next stage or choose Save & exit.
  • approven:enquiry-draft-crypto (browser database): the key used to encrypt your saved answers. It cannot be read out of your browser.
  • approven:enquiry-draft-files (browser database): copies of any documents you attach, such as bank statements or photo ID, so they are not lost if you leave part-way through.

All three are set by us and cannot be read by other websites. They stay on your device until you start a new application or clear this site’s data in your browser. A saved application more than 30 days old is deleted the next time you open the form. We use them only to provide the application you have chosen to fill in, so we do not ask for consent to them.

We do not use any cookies or similar technologies that need your consent. If that changes, we will ask before using them, and continuing to browse will not count as agreeing.

Your choices

Because we do not use anything that needs your consent, there is no cookie banner to accept or reject. To remove an application saved on your device, choose Start new when the form offers to resume, or clear this site’s data in your browser settings. If you are using a shared or public computer, we recommend doing this when you have finished.

You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies needed for a requested service may prevent parts of the website or application from working.

Cookie choices are separate from permission to progress a funding enquiry or send marketing communications.

Personal information

Our Privacy Notice explains how we use personal information, who we share it with and your data protection rights.

We will update this notice when our use of cookies changes and obtain fresh consent where required.
