Cookie Notice

Last updated: 27 March 2026

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember your preferences and provide information to site owners.

We also use browser localStorage — another way websites can store small amounts of data on your device, similar in function to a cookie. Where relevant, this notice covers both.

AltarDesk uses cookies in two contexts: this website (altardesk.co.uk) and the AltarDesk service (your account, once logged in).

We review this notice annually and update it when we change which cookies we use.

1. Types of cookies we use

First-party cookies are set by Rayscent Ltd directly. We use them for authentication, security and remembering your preferences.

Third-party cookies are set by other companies (such as Stripe and Google Analytics). We have no direct control over these cookies — please refer to each provider's own cookie policy for details.
