1. 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 function, to improve their efficiency, and to provide information to site owners about how the site is being used. Cookies are not programmes and cannot carry viruses or access other data on your device.
This policy explains what cookies are used on the Voyager Sextant website, why we use them, and how you can manage or remove them. By continuing to use our site after reviewing this policy, you are accepting our use of cookies as described here.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We use four categories of cookies, each serving a different purpose:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They support core functions such as page navigation, form submission handling, and security features. They do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and are set only in response to your actions on the site.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most visited, how long visitors spend on each section, and how they arrive at the site. The data is aggregated and anonymised. We use Google Analytics (GA4) for this purpose. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They help us understand whether visitors have reached our site through paid channels and allow advertising platforms (including Google Ads and Meta) to serve relevant advertising. These cookies are only set with your consent.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made on the website — such as your cookie consent preferences themselves — so that you are not asked the same questions on every visit. They are set with your consent and expire after 12 months.
3. Specific Cookies in Use
The table below lists the cookies currently in use on our website:
| Cookie Name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can update your cookie preferences at any time using the panel below. Essential cookies cannot be disabled. Changes take effect on your next page visit.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
Useful guides for managing cookies in common browsers:
- Google Chrome — Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Safari — Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions
5. Third-Party Services
Our website loads scripts from Google (Analytics and Ads), Meta, and Microsoft Bing. These third parties may set their own cookies when their scripts are active. Voyager Sextant does not control these third-party cookies, and their data collection is governed by each provider's own privacy and cookie policies.
These scripts are only loaded if you have consented to marketing or analytics cookies. Declining those categories prevents the relevant scripts from running.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our own practices. The most recent version will always be available on this page, with the effective date noted at the top. If we make material changes, we will display a notice on our website.
