Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep, and hands back to that website on every later visit. Used well, that is how a site remembers you are logged in or what is in your basket. Used badly, it is how advertisers follow you from one website to the next.

We do not do the second one. There is nothing to log in to here, and we do not advertise to you or sell what we learn.

One thing, and it is not a cookie:

This one is strictly necessary: it exists only to honour a choice you made, which the rules treat as part of the service you asked for. It needs no consent of its own. Without it, the banner would greet you on every single page.

Nothing in it identifies you, and unlike a cookie it is never sent to our server — it stays in your browser, and only this website can read it.

If you accept, two things load. If you decline, neither is requested at all— not loaded and then ignored. You can watch for them in your browser’s network tab.

Vercel Web Analytics

It tells us how many people visited, which pages they actually read, and which buttons get tapped. It reports counts, not people.

• It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device.
• It does not build a profile of you.
• It cannot follow you to other websites.
• We cannot tell who you are from it — no names, no email addresses, no way back to an individual.

We use it to answer dull but useful questions: is anyone reading the page about resin driveways, do people find the phone number, is the quote form worth its place. It is the difference between improving the site and guessing at it.

Google Tag Manager

Tag Manager is not itself a tracker — it is a loader. It fetches a “container” we configure with Google, and that container decides what else runs. Being straight with you about the consequence: we can change what it loads without changing this website, so this page describes the rules it operates under rather than a fixed list.

The rules, which are enforced in the site’s own code:

• It does not load until you accept. Decline, and no request is made to Google at all.
• Advertising storage is refused outright. The site tells Google that advertising, remarketing and personalisation storage are denied, every time the container starts. If an advertising tag were ever added to the container, it still could not set those cookies here.
• Measurement is what it is for. The container currently carries analytics tags, which may set their own cookies to count a return visit as the same visit rather than a new one.

If you accept and then change your mind, the button further down this page withdraws it. The container is told to stop immediately, and on your next page load it is not fetched at all. Clearing your site data removes anything it had already set.

Google acts as our processor for this. Google’s privacy notice covers what they do as a company, and Vercel — our website host — has their own.

Worth listing, because most sites do use these and it is the reason cookie banners have such a bad name:

• No advertising, retargeting or “audience” cookies — and not merely as a promise: the site actively denies that storage to Google every time the tag manager starts.
• No Meta, Facebook or TikTok pixel.
• No embedded YouTube videos or Google Maps — both routinely set third-party cookies before a visitor has agreed to anything.
• No social media share buttons that report back.
• No live chat widget.

Nothing on this website contacts a third party that is not named on this page or in our Privacy Policy — and nothing optional contacts anyone at all until you say yes.

Declining costs you nothing — every page, the quote form and the phone links all work exactly the same either way.

The buttons above are the easy route. If you would rather do it at the browser level, every major browser can clear site data from its privacy or history settings — in Chrome and Edge it is under Privacy and security, in Safari under Settings then Privacy, and in Firefox under Cookies and Site Data.

Clearing site data removes your saved choice as well, so the banner will appear again on your next visit.

You can also block storage for this site entirely. The site still works, and we treat a browser that refuses to store the answer as a decline.

If we ever add something that stores data on your device — an embedded map, say — we will update this page and ask you again, even if you have already answered once. The answer you gave was to a different question, so it would not be fair to carry it over.

The date at the top of this page changes whenever the wording does.
