1) What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.
Pixels and tags are small pieces of code that help us understand usage and the success of features or emails.
Local storage and session storage allow a site to store data in your browser.
SDKs are similar tools used in mobile apps.
These technologies help a site function, keep you signed in, remember choices, measure performance and, where enabled, personalise content or ads.
2) Types of cookies we use
We group cookies by purpose. You can manage non-essential categories in the Cookie Settings panel.
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to work. Examples: page navigation, loading resources, security, forms, fraud prevention, cookie consent storage.
Always active because they are essential.
Performance and analytics
Help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. Examples: page views, time on page, error logs, campaign attribution. Data is aggregated where possible. IPs may be truncated or anonymised when configured.
Functionality
Remember your preferences. Examples: language, region, saved form inputs, accessibility settings.
Advertising and social media
Show or measure ads, build audiences, or allow social sharing. May track you across sites. We only use these with your consent where required by law.
Email tracking pixels
If you opt in to emails, we may use pixels to measure opens and link clicks. You can disable images in your email client to limit this.
3) First-party vs third-party
First-party cookies
are set by migpath.com.
Third-party cookies
are set by service providers, for example analytics or embedded video. Third parties may treat the data they collect as personal data under applicable law.
4) Duration
Session cookies
delete when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies
stay for a set time or until you delete them. We set reasonable lifetimes and review them periodically.
5) Legal basis for cookies
Strictly necessary
our legitimate interests in running a secure and functional site (and/or performance of a contract where applicable).
Performance, functionality, advertising, social
your consent where required under UK and EU law. In some jurisdictions we may rely on legitimate interests for limited, privacy-protective analytics. You can withdraw consent at any time in Cookie Settings.
6) Your choices
A) Cookie Settings panel
Click Cookie Settings on our site to review, accept, or reject categories. Your choices apply to the browser and device you use. If you clear cookies or use a different device or browser, you will need to set preferences again.
B) Browser controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies under Privacy or Security settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break site features.
C) Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Do Not Track (DNT): there is no standard we can apply consistently, so we do not respond to DNT.
Global Privacy Control (GPC): where required by law, we treat GPC as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. You can still adjust Cookie Settings for more granular control.
D) Advertising choices
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many providers at network opt-out pages in your country (e.g., youradchoices.com or youronlinechoices.eu). This limits targeted ads but does not remove ads.

8) When consent is required and how we collect it
In the UK and EEA we obtain consent before placing or reading non-essential cookies.
Our banner presents clear options: Accept all, Reject non-essential, and Manage settings.
We record consent choices and the timestamp to demonstrate compliance.
If you continue browsing after rejecting non-essential cookies, only strictly necessary cookies will be used.
9) Special notes for California and certain U.S. states
Some cookies used for advertising or analytics may be considered a sale or sharing of personal information under state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by CPRA).
To opt out of sale or sharing, use the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link in the footer or adjust the Cookie Settings panel. We also honour GPC signals where required.
Your rights are described in our Privacy Policy and may include access, deletion, correction, and the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information.
10) Data we collect through cookies
Depending on your settings, cookies may collect: device and browser type, operating system, IP address, general location, pages viewed, buttons clicked, time spent, referring URLs, and campaign identifiers. We use aggregation and de-identification where possible, and retention periods that match the purpose.
11) Retention
We keep cookie data only as long as needed for each purpose. Persistent cookies have fixed lifetimes shown in the table. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider settings and our data retention policy.
12) Children
Our site is not directed to children. We process children's information only when necessary for family immigration services and only through parents or legal guardians, not for advertising.
13) Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If required by law, we will ask for consent again.

16) Implementation tips for your developer
• Load strictly necessary scripts by default. Gate all other tags behind consent categories.
• Delay firing of analytics/advertising tags until consent is recorded (e.g., Google Consent Mode v2 / equivalent).
• Store consent in a first-party cookie and, where relevant, in your CMP and ad/analytics tools.
• Honour GPC signals by mapping them to an opt-out state at page load.
• Provide a visible Cookie Settings link on every page (header or footer).
• Maintain a changelog of vendors and cookie lifetimes; review at least quarterly.
