Cookie Policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on our website (www.manualy.uk) and in the Manualy app (app.manualy.uk). Last updated: 3 October 2026.
Do we use cookies?
Yes. We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to help our website and app work properly, keep them secure, and understand how visitors use them.

What does the analytics cookie collect?
The PostHog cookie is set directly by our website and app (a "first-party cookie") and is not used to track you across other websites. It stores a unique identifier for your browser so we can recognise you if you return, and helps us understand how people use Manualy, including which pages are visited and how users move through the site. No personally identifiable information, such as your name or email address, is stored in this cookie.
What is the legal basis for using cookies?
Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we must get your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Analytics cookies are non-essential, and we only use them with your consent. Essential cookies are needed for the website and app to work, so they don't require consent.
How can I control or remove cookies?
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the cookie banner. You can also withdraw your consent at any time by blocking or deleting cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the website or app from working.
Who can I contact about data and privacy?
If you have any questions about how we use cookies or handle your data, email info@manualy.uk. You can also read our Privacy Policy.
