Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Melbourn Energy Superloop (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at melbourn.energysuperloop.co.uk. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Our approach is to use as few cookies as possible. We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising or tracking your behaviour across other websites.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. Similar technologies include local storage in your browser.
Cookies set by our consent banner
When you visit our website, we use a consent banner (Complianz) to give you control over which cookies you accept. The banner itself sets a small number of cookies to remember your choices. Under UK PECR these are classed as strictly necessary, so they do not require your consent — but we list them here for transparency.

Third-party services we use
Our website uses two third-party services that do not set cookies themselves, but transmit your IP address and browser information to a third-party provider when our pages load. We list them here because they involve sharing limited data with another company.
Service | What it does | Provider | Data transmitted |
Google Fonts | Loads the typography used across the site | Google (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) | Your IP address, user-agent, referrer |
Gravatar | Shows author profile images on pages that display them | Automattic (secure.gravatar.com) | Your IP address, user-agent, hashed email reference |
What we do not do
To be transparent about what is and is not happening behind the scenes, we want to be clear about what our website does not do:
- No Google Analytics, GA4 or Google Tag Manager
- No Meta / Facebook Pixel
- No Hotjar, Mouseflow, FullStory or other session-recording tools
- No retargeting or advertising networks
- No third-party social media share-tracking scripts
Managing your cookie preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Manage cookies” link in our footer, which will reopen the cookie banner. You can also clear or block cookies in your web browser settings, though doing so may affect how some parts of our website work.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add a new service to the website or if the rules change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
