Where required, this allows you to:

The duration of individual cookies may vary depending on their purpose and the provider responsible for them.

Energy PUNK will aim to ensure that cookies are retained for no longer than reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.

COOKIE CONSENT RECORDS

Where we rely on consent to use cookies or similar technologies, we may retain a record of your cookie choices.

This helps us remember your preferences and demonstrate that appropriate consent has been obtained.
