Cookie Policy

Tara F is a sole trader trading as Derby Plumbing 24/7. The business and correspondence address is 13 Amos Road, Leicester, LE3 6NA.

The website uses a lightweight consent control with three first-layer choices: Accept all, Reject non-essential and Manage settings. Google Analytics remains blocked unless analytics consent is actively provided.

Strictly necessary storage may be used without consent where it is required to remember your privacy choice, deliver the website or protect it from malicious traffic. Non-essential analytics storage is optional.

Name: derby_plumbing_cookie_consent. Type: first-party local storage rather than a browser cookie. Purpose: records whether analytics was accepted or rejected so the website can respect the choice on later pages and visits. Duration: up to 180 days.

This preference storage is treated as strictly necessary because the consent mechanism cannot reliably remember or apply your choice without it.

Provider: Google. Purpose: where analytics is accepted, Google Analytics 4 measures page views, sessions, referral sources, approximate location, browser and device information, and interactions such as telephone or WhatsApp link clicks.

Cookies: _ga distinguishes browsers and _ga_07H5QSCVNP maintains information for this GA4 property. Both are configured for a maximum duration of 180 days and are not refreshed beyond that original period. Google may introduce technically related cookie names if its service changes.

The Google Analytics script is not requested before consent. Advertising storage, advertising user data and personalised advertising consent remain denied, and Google Signals and advertising personalisation signals are disabled in the website configuration.

Cloudflare hosts, delivers and protects the website. Normal use of the static website does not intentionally require a Cloudflare analytics cookie.

If a Cloudflare security or bot challenge is triggered, Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies. These can include __cf_bm, which normally expires after 30 minutes of inactivity, and cf_clearance, which stores proof that a security challenge was passed for the period configured by Cloudflare. These cookies are used for security rather than advertising or website analytics.

Displaying a telephone, WhatsApp or external website link does not place a cookie from that destination on this website. Once you follow an external link, the destination service may use its own cookies and process information under its own privacy terms.

You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or choose the analytics category through Manage settings. Rejecting analytics does not prevent you from reading the website, calling or using the WhatsApp link.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by selecting Cookie settings in the website footer. When analytics is rejected or withdrawn, the website disables further GA4 tracking and attempts to remove existing first-party Google Analytics cookies from this domain.

You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Browser controls operate separately from the choices stored by this website.

This policy will be reviewed when the website, consent mechanism or technology providers change. Questions about cookies can be sent to [email protected], made by calling 07476 144770, or posted to 13 Amos Road, Leicester, LE3 6NA.
