The short version
We don’t use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies on this website, and we don’t let anyone else use them here. That’s why you won’t see a cookie banner. The only items stored are those strictly necessary for the website and its enquiry form to work securely.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s session storage, work in a similar way. Under the UK’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, websites need your consent for cookies unless they are strictly necessary to provide the service you have asked for.
What we use
| Name | Provider | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm, cf_clearance | Cloudflare (our hosting provider) | Security cookies Cloudflare may set to tell people from bots and protect the site from attack. | Up to 30 minutes (__cf_bm); up to a year (cf_clearance) |
| Turnstile | Cloudflare | Checks that the enquiry form is being sent by a person. It doesn’t use cookies for tracking or advertising and isn’t used to follow you across other websites. | Only while the form is in use |
fe-first-name (session storage) | First Electrical | Remembers your first name for a moment after you send the form, so the thank-you page can greet you. | Until you close the tab |
Because these are strictly necessary, they don’t need your consent.
Links to other websites
Our pages may link to other websites, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office. Those sites have their own cookie and privacy policies.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the security items above, the enquiry form may not work, but you can always call us on 01539 564477 instead. TheICO’s guide to cookies explains more.
Changes
If we ever add cookies that aren’t strictly necessary, such as analytics, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first. For more about how we handle your information, see our privacy policy.
