1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on a computer, tablet or mobile device. They can help a website work properly, remember choices, improve security and provide information about how the website is used.

Similar technologies may include local storage, scripts, tags, pixels or other tools that store information on, or access information from, a visitor’s device.

3. Types of Cookies This Website May Use

4. Consent and Cookie Choices

Cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary should not be placed or accessed until the visitor has made an informed choice and given valid consent.

Visitors should be able to accept or reject non-essential cookies without being forced to accept them in order to access the basic website. Consent can be withdrawn or changed at any time using the cookie settings control, where available.

The button above must be connected to the website’s cookie-consent system before publication. If no preference centre is installed, replace or remove the button.

5. Cookies Currently Used

The exact cookies used can change when website plugins, hosting services, embedded content, analytics tools or security systems are added or updated. The table below must be completed from a current cookie scan of the live website.

6. Website Forms

The enquiry form may use essential security technologies to submit information safely, prevent spam or protect the website from automated abuse.

Information submitted through a form is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Form-related technologies should not be described as optional where they are genuinely necessary to provide the requested function.

7. Analytics

If analytics tools such as Google Analytics are enabled, they may collect information including pages viewed, approximate location, device type, browser information and how visitors reached the website.

Non-essential analytics should only operate after the visitor has given the required consent. If analytics are not used, this section should be removed or amended before publication.

8. Embedded Content and External Services

Pages may include links or embedded content from external providers such as Google Maps, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Checkatrade or TrustATrader.

Embedded services may place their own cookies or similar technologies and may collect information about the visitor. Where an embedded service is non-essential, it should be blocked until the required consent has been obtained.

9. Security and Hosting Technologies

The hosting provider, firewall, content delivery network or security plugins may use necessary technologies to protect the website, detect malicious activity, prevent fraud, manage traffic and maintain service availability.

Some necessary security technologies may be exempt from consent where they are essential to provide the service requested by the visitor. Visitors must still be given clear information about their use.

10. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow users to view, delete or block cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may cause parts of this or other websites to stop working correctly.

Browser controls are separate from this website’s cookie preference system. Rejecting non-essential cookies through the website should not require visitors to change their browser settings.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

This policy may be updated when website technology, plugins, service providers or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with a revised date.
