How we use cookies
When you visit the Markpen website, small text files called cookies may be stored in your browser. These help the site function correctly, allow us to understand how visitors navigate our pages, and – where you agree – enable relevant advertising. This policy explains each type of cookie we use, why we use it, and how you can adjust your preferences at any time.
Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies (always active)
These are necessary for the site to load and function. They manage session state and basic security. Disabling them would prevent core pages from working, so they cannot be turned off.

Advertising cookies
Store data that supports display advertising and remarketing. If you have seen a Markpen advertisement elsewhere after visiting this site, these cookies are involved. They are only active with your consent.
Ad personalisation cookies
Allow advertising platforms to tailor the ads shown to you based on your browsing interests. Used alongside advertising storage, and only where you have given consent.
Personalisation cookies
Remember choices you have made — such as interface preferences — so you do not have to set them again on return visits.
Security cookies (always active)
Used to detect and prevent fraud, protect form submissions, and maintain the integrity of sessions. Always active alongside essential cookies.
