Cookies Policy

(Royal College of Pharmacy)
v01.0
Last updated 15th April 2026

 

Applies to: www.careers.rcpharm.org (our recruitment site). 

Controller/Operator: Royal College of Pharmacy (including its wholly‑owned subsidiaries, together the RCPharm Group). 

This policy adopts our latest cookies/SATs template and aligns with UK PECR rules for cookies and similar technologies and the ICO’s current guidance. We also note the ICO’s ongoing refresh to reflect the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (DUAA), which introduces updated terminology around storage and access technologies. We will adjust this policy wording if/when the ICO issues further updates. 

 

Who we are

This careers website is operated by the Royal College of Pharmacy (RCPharm Group). For our broader personal‑data practices, see the Privacy Notice linked from the site footer. 

 

Our site and third‑party links

This cookie policy only applies to www.careers.rcpharm.org. Where we link to third‑party services (e.g., video platforms or scheduling tools), those sites will have their own cookie policies. 

 

Cookies and ‘storage and access technologies’ (SATs)

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Under PECR, the same rules apply to any storage and access technologies that store or access information on your device (e.g., local storage or SDKs in an embedded widget). 

We categorise cookies/SATs as: 

·       Strictly necessary — essential to provide a service you request (e.g., sign‑in, session security). Consent not required, but we remain transparent. 

·       Analytics/performance — help us understand use and improve the site. Consent required (not ‘strictly necessary’). 

We do not pre‑enable non‑essential cookies and our banner allows you to accept or reject categories with equal prominence. 

 

Consent and how to change your settings

·       Use the cookie banner on first visit to accept or reject non‑essential cookies, or open Cookie Preferences from the banner to tailor settings. 

·       You can change your decision at any time via the “Manage Cookies” link in the site footer. 

·       You may also control cookies in your browser. Blocking all cookies (including strictly‑necessary) may impact functionality. See the ICO’s public guidance for browser controls.
