11. Cookies

This section explains what cookies are, which cookies our site uses and how you can control them. It replaces our previous separate cookie policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners.

Cookies we use

We use a small number of cookies. They fall into two categories.

 

Category	Purpose	Consent required
Strictly necessary cookies	Required for our site to function, including security, page caching and remembering your cookie preferences.	No. These cookies are always set, as our site cannot function without them.
Analytics cookies	Set by Google Analytics (GA4) to help us understand how visitors use our site, which pages are viewed and how visitors arrive.	Yes. These cookies are only set where you have given consent through our cookie banner.

 

We do not use advertising or tracking pixels. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks.

Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit our site, you will be shown a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies are not set unless and until you accept them.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link on our site.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may affect how our site works. More information about the cookies used by Google Analytics is available in Google’s own privacy documentation.

12. Our responsibility for loss or damage – consumers

This section applies if you are a consumer, meaning you are using our site wholly or mainly for your personal use and not for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession. If you are a business user, section 13 applies to you instead.

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for breach of your legal rights in relation to any services we supply to you.

If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach or our failing to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen, or if, at the time you accepted these terms, both we and you knew it might happen.

Please note that we only provide our site for domestic and private use. If you use our site for any commercial or business purpose, we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. We are not responsible for viruses and you must not introduce them. See section 14.

13. Our responsibility for loss or damage – business users

This section applies if you are using our site in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession.

We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to our site or any content on it.

We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, even if foreseeable, arising under or in connection with:

• use of, or inability to use, our site; or
• use of or reliance on any content displayed on our site.

In particular, we will not be liable for:

• loss of profits, sales, business or revenue;
• business interruption;
• loss of anticipated savings;
• loss of business opportunity, goodwill or reputation; or
• any indirect or consequential loss or damage.

 

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury arising from our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.

Nothing in this section affects the terms of any separate written agreement between us for the provision of research or consultancy services. Where such an agreement exists, its liability provisions apply to those services in place of this section.

14. Viruses

We do not guarantee that our site will be secure or free from bugs or viruses. You are responsible for configuring your information technology, computer programmes and platform to access our site, and you should use your own virus protection software. You must not misuse our site by knowingly introducing viruses, Trojans, worms, logic bombs or other material that is malicious or technologically harmful. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to our site, the server on which our site is stored, or any server, computer or database connected to our site. You must not attack our site via a denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of-service attack. By breaching this provision you would commit a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. We will report any such breach to the relevant law enforcement authorities and we will co-operate with those authorities by disclosing your identity to them. In the event of such a breach, your right to use our site will cease immediately.

15. Rules about linking to our site

You may link to our home page, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it. You must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement on our part where none exists.

You must not establish a link to our site in any website that is not owned by you, and our site must not be framed on any other site. We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice. If you wish to link to or make any use of content on our site other than as set out above, please contact us at info@nerdscollective.com.

16. How we may use your personal information

We only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy, available at nerdscollective.com/privacy-policy/.

17. Which country’s laws apply to any disputes

These terms of use, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you are resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country in which you reside. If you are a business user, you and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction.
