Cookie Policy

This policy explains how the Newcastle Gutters website and the third-party services embedded in it may use cookies or similar technologies that store or access information on your device.

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Similar technologies can include local storage, device identifiers and scripts that read information from a browser or device. Some are necessary for security or a service requested by the visitor; others may require consent.

Website and form security

Cloudflare hosts and protects this website. The enquiry form is provided by Google Forms, which may use necessary checks to help prevent spam and misuse. These services are needed to keep the website available and to receive enquiries safely.

Google Maps

The homepage includes an embedded Google map that loads automatically. When it loads, Google may receive your IP address, browser and device information and may set or access cookies or similar technologies under Google’s terms. Google may process that information outside the United Kingdom.

The current website does not delay the map until consent is given. Disclosure by itself may not satisfy the rules where non-essential storage is used. This implementation should not be described as fully compliant without appropriate legal review.

Website preferences and analytics

Newcastle Gutters does not currently set a theme preference, advertising cookie or first-party analytics cookie. If analytics, advertising or other optional services are added, this policy and the website’s consent controls will need to be reviewed before those services are enabled.

Managing cookies

You can use your browser settings to inspect, block or delete cookies and site data. Blocking essential security technology may prevent the enquiry form from working. Browser controls cannot always stop information being sent when an embedded third-party resource is loaded.
