This Cookie Policy explains how Finishline, available at https://1233.neurogena.net, uses cookies and similar technologies. It is written for visitors in the United Kingdom and should be read alongside the site’s Privacy Policy and Terms.
Last updated: 24 September 2026
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can ask a browser to store on a device. When the browser returns to the same site, the stored information can be read so that the site can remember a setting or recognise a previous choice.
Similar technologies can include browser local storage, session storage and other device-based storage. These technologies may store or access information such as a visitor’s consent choice, the categories selected, a record that the settings notice has been handled, and technical details needed to apply that choice. They do not necessarily identify a visitor by name.
This site has no visitor accounts, comment facility or newsletter. The consent manager displayed on each page stores the visitor’s cookie choice locally so that the chosen settings can be applied on later pages and, where applicable, later visits.
2. Why this site uses device storage
The active use of local storage on this site is limited to recording and applying cookie preferences. Without a record of that choice, the site could repeatedly show the same settings notice or fail to honour a visitor’s decision to allow, refuse or withdraw optional categories.
Functional and analytics categories are not active before consent. There are currently no advertising integrations. This policy does not describe a hidden tracking programme or imply that optional technologies are currently operating merely because a category is shown in the settings manager.
3. Cookie categories on this site
Strictly necessary
Strictly necessary storage is active. Its purpose is to remember and enforce the visitor’s cookie preferences. It supports the operation of the consent manager and cannot be switched off through that manager while the site needs it to apply a choice already made.
Functional
Functional technologies can support optional features or remember non-essential preferences. They are off unless the visitor gives consent through Cookie settings. The current site information does not identify an active functional cookie, provider or feature that requires this category.
Analytics and performance
Analytics technologies can measure how pages are used, such as which content is viewed, how visitors move through a site, or whether pages perform reliably. This category is off before consent. No analytics provider, cookie name, retention period or active data flow has been specified for this site, so none is listed as active in this policy.
Advertising and targeting
Advertising and targeting technologies can build audiences, measure advertising activity or show content based on inferred interests. There are currently no advertising integrations on this site. This category is therefore not used.
Social media
Social-media technologies may be set by embedded social content or sharing tools and can enable a social platform to recognise a visitor across sites. No social-media cookie or provider has been identified in the current site configuration. This category is not described as active.
4. Information handled and purposes
For the active necessary category, the information handled is limited to the visitor’s consent status and category choices, together with technical information needed to retain and apply those choices in the browser. The purpose is to display the consent manager appropriately and to respect the preferences selected.
If a visitor later chooses to enable an optional category, that category should only operate in accordance with the choice recorded by the consent manager. The nature of any information handled would depend on the specific technology introduced at that time. This policy does not invent details about optional technologies, recipients or data uses that have not been identified.
5. First-party and third-party technologies
A first-party cookie or local-storage item is set or accessed by the site that the visitor is viewing. The currently active consent-preference storage is first-party browser storage used for Finishline.
A third-party cookie is set or accessed by a different organisation, often through embedded content, measurement tools, advertising tools or social-media features. No third-party provider has been identified for the active necessary consent storage. No third-party advertising integration is currently in use.
Where a third-party technology is introduced in the future, it should be assessed before it is enabled, placed in the appropriate settings category, and described in an updated version of this policy where the relevant details are known.
6. Session storage, persistent storage and retention
Session storage normally lasts only while the browser session remains open and is removed when that session ends. Persistent cookies or local-storage records remain until their stated expiry, until the visitor removes them, or until the browser clears them.
The consent manager stores a local record of the visitor’s choice. The precise storage key and expiry period are not specified in the current site information, so this policy does not assign an unsupported duration. Visitors can remove locally stored site data through their browser controls or change their choice through Cookie settings at the lower left of the page. Removing stored data may cause the consent notice to appear again.
7. Cookie and provider record
| Technology or category | Provider status | Purpose | Storage type and duration | Consent or exemption position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary local consent-preference storage | First party: Finishline | Records and applies the visitor’s cookie-category choices. | Local browser storage; the exact persistence period is not specified in the current configuration. | Used as strictly necessary to remember and apply the choice made through the consent manager. Under PECR, storage that is strictly necessary for a service requested by the user may be exempt from prior consent. |
No individual optional cookie, third-party provider or advertising technology is listed because none has been identified as active in the current site information. Functional and analytics categories remain off before consent, and advertising integrations are not currently present.
8. Consent, PECR and UK data-protection law
In the United Kingdom, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) set rules for storing or accessing information on a person’s device. Except where a strictly necessary exemption applies, non-essential cookies and similar technologies require the visitor’s consent before they are used.
Where cookie-related information is personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 also apply. These rules require clear information about processing, an appropriate lawful basis and respect for data-protection rights. For optional functional or analytics technologies, the site’s approach is to keep them off unless the visitor actively consents through the settings manager.
Accepting optional categories is not required to read the informational content of this site. Rejecting them should be as straightforward as accepting them. Necessary preference storage remains available because it is used to record and apply the visitor’s decision.
9. Using the consent manager
The consent manager is available on every page. It presents category choices and stores the selection locally. Visitors may accept optional categories, reject them, or make a category-by-category choice where those controls are presented.
Cookie settings can be reopened using the control at the lower left of the page. A visitor may change selections or withdraw earlier consent at any time. Withdrawal affects future use of the relevant optional category; it cannot automatically remove information already processed by a separate provider before consent was withdrawn. Where optional storage has been placed, the visitor may also remove it through browser controls.
10. Browser controls and practical effects
Most browsers allow visitors to review, delete or block cookies and other site data, either for all websites or for selected websites. Browser settings vary, so visitors should use the help material provided with their browser or device for current instructions.
Blocking or clearing all storage may prevent the consent manager from remembering a previous choice. As a result, the settings notice may reappear, and preferences may need to be selected again. If optional categories are blocked, optional functions or measurement that depend on them will not operate. Blocking necessary storage can affect the site’s ability to retain and apply cookie preferences.
11. International transfers
The active necessary consent-preference storage is held locally in the visitor’s browser. No third-party provider or international transfer has been identified for that active storage in the current site information.
If an optional technology involving a provider outside the United Kingdom is introduced after a visitor has consented, the operator should consider whether personal data is transferred internationally and apply the safeguards required by UK data-protection law where relevant. Further information about personal-data handling is set out in the Privacy Policy, referred to by that name on this site.
12. Changes to this policy and contact route
This policy may be updated when the consent manager, technologies used on the site, or relevant legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date near the beginning of this page shows when this version was last revised. Material changes should be reflected here with clear information about the revised use of cookies or similar technologies.
