Cookie and Tracking Notice
Version 3.0. Published 7 September 2026. Read this with our Privacy Notice.
Website and service technologies
Cookies and similar technologies can keep you signed in, maintain a shopping cart, protect a session, measure website activity and support advertising attribution. A payment provider or other external service may also use technologies in its own interface. Necessary session and security functions differ from optional audience measurement and advertising.
The main IT Nut website uses Meta Pixel and server-side Meta event processing, together with Google Analytics 4 event processing. These can associate page visits, referrals and relevant interaction or purchase events with browser identifiers or account/contact information. Where available, contact matching can use hashed email or phone details and other relevant matching information. Hashing does not make identifiable information anonymous. Server-side event transmission is separate from a browser cookie and may not be stopped by deleting that cookie.
Identifiers observed on the main website
| Identifier | Purpose | Configured browser lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_fbp |
Meta browser identifier used for event matching and advertising attribution | 90 days |
_nut_ga_cid |
First-party client identifier used with Google Analytics measurement | 2 years |
_nut_xid |
First-party external identifier used for event/customer matching | 2 years |
This inventory was checked on 7 September 2026. A browser may shorten retention, you can delete stored identifiers earlier, and later activity can refresh an expiry. These browser lifetimes do not specify how long a recipient retains event or account information. Account sessions, payment pages and third-party interfaces can use additional service-specific cookies; inspect the relevant provider’s notice and browser controls for that interaction.
Google and Meta receive relevant measurement or advertising information for these activities under their applicable arrangements. See Google’s partner-site information and Meta’s Privacy Policy. Advertising disclosures can fall within legally defined sharing or targeted advertising in some jurisdictions; we do not make a blanket claim that every such disclosure falls outside those rules.
Choices and current controls
You can inspect, block or delete cookies through your browser and use the privacy controls supplied by Google and Meta. Blocking essential session or security storage can affect sign-in, checkout or payment. Provider controls can have a different scope from your IT Nut account preferences.
At publication, the main website can set the identifiers listed above on an initial visit, and this notice does not represent that a site-wide prior-consent switch has been implemented. Reading this notice or continuing to browse is not consent where the law requires a positive choice. Browser blocking is not represented as a substitute for consent controls that applicable law requires us to provide.
To object to relevant account-linked measurement, targeted advertising or marketing, or to withdraw a previously given consent, contact support@itnuthosting.com, marked “Privacy request”, or use an authenticated client-area ticket. Include only the information needed to identify the relevant account or interaction. We will address the request under the applicable law and explain the control’s scope; a support request is not represented as an immediate browser-level switch for every third party.
Our obligations to obtain consent or honour an applicable opt-out signal remain in force. The Privacy Notice explains rights, recipients, overseas processing and complaints. Material changes to tracking purposes or choices require the notice and consent process applicable to that change.
