Data Privacy For Charities, Non-Profits And Membership Organisations
Pooka’s clients have a unique benefit, which few other digital agencies can provide: A dedicated Data Privacy Specialist.
From Cookie Banners that work as the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) would hope, to guiding you through the nuances of GDPR and Data Protection, we’ve got you covered.
Pooka & Co are here to understand the subtleties of your charity or membership organisation, provide the training and support that you need, and ultimately help you develop full confidence in your team’s data management processes.
From vital tasks like installing a Cookie Banner that’s compliant with data privacy law, Google Analytics and Google Consent Mode V2, to a truly deep dive into your organisation’s data retention policies, our Data Privacy Specialist, Mads Mitchell will help develop your team’s ability to demonstrate compliance, and help ensure that you stay up to date with your organisation’s legal obligations.
Alongside years of experience at the crosspoint of the third sector, technology and data privacy, Mads is also a highly experienced CiviCRM administrator. These skills are instrumental in helping our clients, from small charities to large membership organisations, understand, protect, and make the most of their supporters’ data.
Please get in touch with Mads directly, to discuss any of the following services, and how they might be tailored to your organisation:
Introduction to Privacy Policies Session
Almost all websites have a Privacy Policy, but very few contain the information that they should. We regularly find boilerplate information drafted by WordPress or content pasted from ChatGPT. Not only does this miss the point of having a Privacy Policy, it leaves organisations open to complaints from your organisation’s intended audience and scrutiny from the ICO – with the potential for eye-watering fines.
Our hour-long Introduction to Privacy Policies Session is provided free with every website we build, or can be offered as a paid standalone session at £88 + VAT. In this session you’ll learn the differences between Cookie and Privacy Policies, gain an overview of the information you should be sharing with your service users and members, and receive clear guidance on the route to achieving compliance.
The session provides a baseline level of knowledge that your organisation can use to develop its own Privacy Policy. Alternatively, you might decide you’d like additional support from Pooka & Co, through a deeper collaboration. Either way, you’re guaranteed an eye-opening session, that will move your organisation towards compliance.
Please contact our Data Privacy Specialist, Mads Mitchell directly if you’re interested in booking this session.
Website Cookie Banner Implementation
The vast majority of websites use cookies in one form or another. If your website uses WordPress, WooCommerce or Google Analytics, your’s does too. And that means you need to comply with the rules. In the UK, these are set out in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Pooka & Co’s Website Cookie Banner Implementation & Privacy Policy Introduction service begins at £264 + VAT, and is charged thereafter depending on the complexity of the implementation. It includes:
- A full review of the cookies used on your website: what they do and why, how long they last, and details of third party cookies.
- Creation of a clear and comprehensive cookie notice, helping your visitors make informed decisions about accepting non-essential cookies on your site.
- Installation and configuration of a cookie banner that requests the consent of your visitors before setting non-essential cookies.
- Integration with Google Analytics using Google Consent Mode V2 using the most privacy- and compliance-focused approach.
- An option to use an alternative to Google Analytics, which takes advantage of UK privacy laws updated in 2026, enabling more accurate statistics.
Cookie banners are present on many websites, but few are correctly configured. This leaves visitors open to their data being used without permission, and the website owner open to bad publicity and large fines.
Pooka & Co are passionate about Data Privacy and encourage all website owners to properly protect the privacy of their website’s users.

This unique package is designed to provide you with a solid understanding of the principles of the UK GDPR and a road map to achieving compliance for your organisation.

Bespoke Data Privacy Training & Planning
No two data privacy and compliance journeys are the same. While the services described above provide clear starting points, it may be that you’re looking for something more bespoke. Our Data Privacy Specialist will work with your team, to help get to grips with data protection right across your organisation. This might include:
- A review of your existing policies and documentation.
- Supporting key tasks such as data mapping and the development of your organisation’s Record of Processing Activities.
- Helping your organisation draft its privacy policy notices.
