Cookie Policy

Last updated: 27th June 2026

1. ABOUT COOKIES AND THIS POLICY

This Cookie Policy explains how MIDLE uses cookies and similar technologies on www.midle.co.

MIDLE is an independent creative publication and platform supporting students, graduates and emerging creatives between education and professional practice.

​

The MIDLE website is currently operated by Luke Savage, Founder and Editor, and is built and hosted using Wix.

​

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your browser, computer, phone or other device when you visit them.

​

Similar technologies may include:

  • local storage;

  • tracking pixels;

  • tags;

  • scripts;

  • software development kits;

  • device identifiers;

  • and other technologies that store information on, or retrieve information from, your device.

​

Cookies and similar technologies can help a website:

  • operate securely;

  • remember user choices;

  • maintain a shopping basket or checkout session;

  • understand how visitors use the website;

  • identify technical problems;

  • improve performance;

  • and measure promotional activity.

​

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. These are commonly known as session cookies.

Other cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. These are commonly known as persistent cookies.

​

Cookies may be placed directly by MIDLE’s website provider or by another service used on the website.

Cookies placed by the website operator or hosting platform are often described as first-party cookies. Cookies placed by an external service are often described as third-party cookies.

​

This policy should be read alongside the MIDLE Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is collected, used, shared and protected.

2. THE TYPES OF COOKIES MIDLE MAY USE

MIDLE aims to use only the cookies and similar technologies reasonably required to operate, understand and improve the website.

​

The exact cookies used may change depending on the Wix functions, payment services, forms, analytics tools and embedded content enabled on the website.

​

Essential cookies

​

Essential cookies are required for the website or a service requested by the visitor to operate properly.

They may support:

  • website and account security;

  • fraud and attack prevention;

  • network management;

  • page delivery;

  • maintaining a user session;

  • remembering cookie preferences;

  • contact and submission forms;

  • shopping basket functions;

  • checkout and payment processes;

  • delivery or collection selections;

  • and other core website functions.

Because these cookies are genuinely necessary for the website or a requested service, they may be placed without asking for consent.

​

Blocking essential cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

​

Analytics cookies

​

Analytics cookies help MIDLE understand how people interact with the website.

They may collect information about:

  • how visitors reached the website;

  • pages visited;

  • time spent on a page;

  • links or buttons selected;

  • general navigation patterns;

  • browser and device type;

  • approximate location;

  • technical errors;

  • and website performance.

This information may be aggregated or pseudonymised, but it can still involve information connected with a browser or device.

​

Analytics cookies will only be activated where the required permission has been provided through the cookie controls.

​

Functional cookies

​

Functional cookies support optional website features and preferences.

They may be used to:

  • remember choices made by a visitor;

  • support embedded content;

  • improve the operation of forms;

  • remember display or accessibility preferences;

  • provide enhanced website functions;

  • and avoid repeatedly displaying the same message.

Where functional cookies are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated after the required consent has been given.

​

Marketing cookies

​

Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of promotional activity or to connect website visits with advertising and social-media services.

They may be used to:

  • measure whether someone visited after selecting a campaign;

  • understand the performance of an advert;

  • track engagement across websites or platforms;

  • build an interest profile;

  • or support personalised advertising.

MIDLE does not currently intend to make behavioural advertising a central part of the website.

Where marketing tools are introduced, non-essential marketing cookies will not be activated unless the visitor has provided the required consent.

​

Cookies used by Wix

​

Wix may place cookies or use similar technologies to provide:

  • security;

  • fraud prevention;

  • platform stability;

  • page rendering;

  • session management;

  • checkout functions;

  • system monitoring;

  • and storage of privacy choices.

The exact names, purposes and durations of Wix cookies may change as its platform and services develop.

The current cookie banner or cookie settings panel should provide the most specific available information about the cookies detected on the website.

​

Third-party services

​

Additional cookies or similar technologies may be introduced through services such as:

  • online checkout and payment providers;

  • embedded video or audio;

  • social-media content;

  • analytics platforms;

  • mailing-list services;

  • external forms;

  • maps;

  • event-booking tools;

  • portfolio viewers;

  • and other embedded content.

These services may receive technical information such as your IP address when their content loads.

Where a third-party service is non-essential, MIDLE will aim to prevent it from loading until the relevant permission has been provided.

​

The privacy and cookie practices of third-party providers are also governed by their own policies.

3. COOKIE CONSENT AND YOUR CHOICES

When you first visit the MIDLE website, you should be shown a cookie banner or privacy-control panel.

The banner should provide options to:

  • accept all optional cookies;

  • reject non-essential cookies;

  • or manage individual categories.

​

Choosing to reject optional cookies should not prevent you from reading the main website content.

Some optional features may not work without the cookies or technologies required to provide them.

Essential cookies may remain active because they are necessary for security, checkout, forms or another service requested by the visitor.

​

MIDLE will not treat continued browsing, inactivity or a pre-selected option as consent to non-essential cookies.

​

Where consent is required, it should involve a clear and positive choice.

​

Changing your preferences

You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time through the Cookie Settings link available in the website footer or through the privacy controls provided on the website.

​

Changing your choice will affect future use of optional cookies.

​

It may not automatically delete cookies that have already been placed on your device. You may need to remove those through your browser settings.

​

Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to:

  • view stored cookies;

  • delete individual cookies;

  • remove all cookies;

  • block cookies from particular websites;

  • block third-party cookies;

  • and prevent cookies from being placed in the future.

​

The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use.

Blocking all cookies may affect:

  • forms;

  • account functions;

  • shopping baskets;

  • checkout;

  • payment processing;

  • saved preferences;

  • and other website features.

​

Consent records

The website’s cookie-management provider may store a record of:

  • the date and time of your choice;

  • the categories accepted or rejected;

  • the version of the banner or policy shown;

  • and a technical identifier used to remember the choice.

​

This record helps the website respect your preferences and demonstrate that a choice was provided.

​

Embedded content

Some pages may contain embedded content from external services.

​

Where possible, optional embedded content will remain unavailable until the required permission has been given.

​

If you choose to activate or interact with embedded content, the external provider may place cookies or collect information under its own policies.

​

Do Not Track and similar signals

Some browsers and devices provide privacy signals such as Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.

​

Support for these signals varies between websites, browsers and service providers.

​

MIDLE will continue to review its website and consent tools as recognised privacy standards and technical options develop.

4. RETENTION, RESPONSIBILITY AND POLICY UPDATES

Different cookies remain on a device for different periods.

A cookie may last:

  • only for the current browsing session;

  • for several hours or days;

  • for several months;

  • or until it is deleted manually.

​

The exact duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the settings applied by Wix or the relevant third-party provider.

​

The website’s Cookie Settings panel should display the most specific information available about individual cookies, their providers, purposes and durations.

​

MIDLE will aim to review the cookies and similar technologies used on the website when:

  • a new website function is introduced;

  • a new form or submission route is added;

  • online sales or payment systems change;

  • analytics tools are enabled or changed;

  • external media or social content is embedded;

  • advertising tools are introduced;

  • Wix or the cookie-management provider changes its services;

  • or legal and regulatory guidance changes.

​

MIDLE does not sell information collected through cookies to advertisers or data brokers.

Information obtained through cookies may be shared with service providers that help operate and understand the website, including:

  • Wix;

  • the cookie-management provider;

  • payment processors;

  • analytics providers;

  • technical support providers;

  • and other services clearly identified through the website’s privacy controls.

​

These providers should only receive information reasonably required to deliver their service.

Some providers may store or process information outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is involved, the handling of that information is also addressed in the MIDLE Privacy Policy.

This Cookie Policy may be updated when:

  • website functions change;

  • cookie categories change;

  • providers or integrations change;

  • cookie durations change;

  • MIDLE’s legal structure changes;

  • or applicable guidance and responsibilities develop.

​

The latest revision date will appear at the top of this page.
