Cookie Policy
Most websites open with a banner asking you to accept cookies. This one does not, because there is nothing to accept. We set no cookies, we run no analytics, and we use no advertising or tracking pixels. This page explains what that means and what the site does load.
In short: browsing this website places no cookies on your device. We cannot see who you are, we do not count you as a visitor, and nothing follows you to other sites. The only information we hold about you is what you choose to type into the quote form.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to store, so it can recognise your device on a later visit. Related technologies like local storage, session storage and tracking pixels do much the same job. They are useful for things like keeping you logged in, and they are also the main way advertising companies build a picture of what you look at online.
What this website uses
Nothing that requires your consent. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, a website must ask permission before storing anything on your device that is not strictly necessary. We store nothing, so there is nothing to ask about, which is why you will not see a consent banner here.
| Type | Used on this site? |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary cookies | None on the public website |
| Analytics and statistics | None. We do not use Google Analytics or any similar tool |
| Advertising and retargeting | None. No ad pixels of any kind |
| Social media trackers | None. No embedded feeds, like buttons or share widgets |
| Preference cookies | None. The site has no settings to remember |
You are welcome to check this for yourself. In most browsers, press F12, open the Application or Storage tab and look under Cookies. You will find the list empty.
Third-party services the site loads
Although none of these place cookies on your device when you browse the site, they do involve another company, and some of them receive your IP address simply because your browser has to connect to them. We would rather set that out than leave it unsaid.
| Service | What it does | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts | Supplies the typeface the site is set in | Your browser requests the font files from Google, which receives your IP address. No cookies are set |
| Netlify | Hosts the website and delivers its pages | Keeps standard server logs of requests, including IP address, to run the site and keep it secure |
| Supabase | Stores quote form submissions | Only contacted when you submit the quote form. Nothing runs while you are simply reading the site |
| Google Search Console | Reports to us on how the site appears in Google search results | Works from Google's own index. It does not run in your browser and does not track visitors |
The admin area
There is a private page at /admin that we use to manage enquiries. Logging in there stores a session token in the browser so the login persists between pages. That is strictly necessary for the login to work, and it applies only to us, not to visitors or customers.
Controlling cookies yourself
There is nothing to switch off here, but every browser lets you block or delete cookies for any site you visit. The settings are usually under Privacy or Site Settings. aboutcookies.org explains how, browser by browser.
If this changes
If we ever add analytics or another service that needs cookies, we will update this page and put a proper consent banner in place first: one that asks before anything is set, and that lets you decline. We will not quietly start tracking people.
