“`This Cookie Policy explains how Shower Screen Installers uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit showerscreeninstallers.co.uk.
It explains what cookies are, why we use them, the types of cookies that may be placed on your device and how you can manage your preferences.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information.
“`2. What Are Cookies?
“`Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit them.
Cookies can help a website operate correctly, remember your choices, understand how visitors use the website and improve the overall user experience.
Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. These are known as session cookies. Other cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies.
“`3. How We Use Cookies
“`We may use cookies to:
- keep the website secure and functioning correctly;
- remember your cookie-consent choices;
- understand how visitors find and use the website;
- measure page visits, website performance and engagement;
- identify technical problems and improve website content;
- help make our services and contact routes easier to use.
We do not use cookies to collect more personal information than is reasonably necessary for these purposes.
“`4. Types of Cookies We Use
“`Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to operate properly. They may be used for security, website functionality, page delivery and remembering your cookie-consent choice.
These cookies do not require consent where they are genuinely necessary for the website or a service you have requested to function.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. This may include information such as:
- which pages are visited;
- how visitors arrived at the website;
- how long visitors remain on a page;
- which links or contact options are used;
- the general type of device and browser being used;
- whether website errors or performance issues occur.
We use this information in an aggregated form to improve the website and understand which services and information are most useful.
Analytics cookies should only be activated after you have given consent through the website’s cookie banner or consent-management tool.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may be used to remember choices you make and provide enhanced website features.
At present, the website may use limited functional cookies where necessary to remember preferences or support an embedded website feature.
Marketing Cookies
We do not currently use cookies for personalised advertising or behavioural marketing.
If marketing or advertising cookies are introduced in the future, this policy and the website’s cookie-consent controls will be updated.
“`5. Google Analytics
“`We may use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use the Shower Screen Installers website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as page views, approximate location, device type, browser type, referral source and general website interaction data.
Google Analytics cookies are treated as non-essential and should not be placed until you have consented to analytics cookies.
Common Google Analytics cookies may include:
| Cookie | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Helps distinguish website visitors and generate statistical information about website usage. | Up to 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Helps maintain and record information relating to a Google Analytics session. | Up to 2 years |
The exact cookie names and durations may vary if Google changes its technology or configuration.
Information collected through Google Analytics may be processed by Google in accordance with Google’s own privacy and data-protection terms.
“`6. Cookie-Consent Preferences
“`When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie banner or consent-management panel.
This allows you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because they are required for the website to function or remember your consent decision.
Your consent preference may be stored in a cookie so that the website remembers your choice on future visits.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie-settings control displayed on the website, where available.
“`7. Third-Party Services and Links
“`The website may contain links to third-party services such as WhatsApp, Google, social-media platforms, mapping services, manufacturers, merchants or other external websites.
These third parties may use their own cookies when you visit their websites or interact with their services.
Shower Screen Installers does not control cookies placed directly by third-party websites. You should review the cookie and privacy policies of the relevant third party for further information.
Simply displaying a normal external link does not necessarily place that third party’s cookies on your device. Cookies may be placed once you follow the link or interact with an embedded third-party service.
“`8. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
“`Most web browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- delete existing cookies;
- block all cookies;
- block cookies from particular websites;
- block third-party cookies;
- receive a warning before a cookie is stored;
- clear cookies automatically when the browser closes.
Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the website operate. In particular, the website may not remember your cookie preferences.
“`9. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
“`The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on the type of cookie and the purpose for which it is used.
Session cookies are normally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain until their stated expiry date or until you delete them manually.
We aim to retain cookie-derived analytics information only for as long as it remains reasonably necessary for website analysis, security and improvement.
