Last updated: 16 August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Doyk (operated by Polestar Property Services Ltd) uses cookies and similar technologies on doyk.co.uk.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site operator.

What cookies does Doyk use?

Doyk uses strictly necessary cookies only. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or any third-party cookies that profile your behaviour.

This cookie is set only when you log in to the professional portal. If you are a member of the public browsing the directory without logging in, no cookies are set on your device.

Cookies we do NOT use

We do not use any of the following:

  • Google Analytics or any other analytics platform
  • Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or any advertising/retargeting cookies
  • Hotjar, Clarity, or any session-recording tools
  • Social media tracking pixels
  • Any third-party cookies that track your behaviour across websites

Do I need to consent?

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent — they are essential for the service to function. Because we only set strictly necessary cookies, no cookie consent banner is required or shown on this site.

If we ever introduce optional cookies (such as analytics), we will update this policy and implement a consent mechanism before doing so.

How to control cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Deleting the session cookie will log you out of the professional portal. Blocking all cookies may prevent the portal from functioning correctly.

Doyk is an information directory only — it does not endorse, recommend, or guarantee the work of any listed professional. Listing on this directory is not a substitute for your own due diligence: always verify a professional's current registration directly with their regulatory body before engaging them. Doyk is not an estate agency, surveying practice, or regulated firm in its own right in the capacity of a directory operator. Polestar Property Services Ltd operates separately as a building surveying consultancy and holds its own professional registrations in that capacity; those registrations do not extend to or cover the Doyk directory product.
