11. Your Cookie Choices
Where required, you will be given a choice before optional cookies are used.
Our cookie controls may allow you to:
Accept All
This permits the optional cookie categories presented to you.
Reject Non-Essential
This prevents optional cookies from being activated while allowing technologies needed for the website and services you request to operate.
Manage Preferences
This allows you to choose which optional categories you wish to enable.
Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent you from accessing the main Melae Eleve website, although some optional third-party features may not work.
12. Consent
Where consent is required, we will not treat your continued use of the website alone as consent to optional cookies.
Your choice should involve a clear action through the cookie banner or preference controls.
Under UK rules, prior consent is generally required for storage and access technologies unless a relevant exemption applies. Consent must meet the applicable UK GDPR standard.
13. Changing or Withdrawing Your Choice
You may change your cookie preferences after your first visit.
Where available, use the Cookie Preferences, Cookie Settings or equivalent control on the Melae Eleve website.
You can then:
enable an optional category;
disable an optional category; or
withdraw previously given consent.
Withdrawing consent does not retrospectively affect processing carried out while valid consent was in place.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies independently.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
view cookies;
delete cookies;
block particular cookies;
block third-party cookies;
prevent future cookies; or

Browser controls operate separately from the cookie controls provided on our website.
