1. About This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how London Elite Painting & Decorators uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage and scripts.

2. Types of Cookies We May Use

Our website may use the following types of cookies and similar technologies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: needed for the website to work properly, including security, form protection, cookie consent settings and basic website functions.
• Preference cookies: used to remember choices such as cookie preferences or display settings.
• Analytics cookies: used to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how the website performs. These should only be used where the visitor has given consent if required.
• Marketing cookies: used for advertising, remarketing or tracking across websites. These should only be used if the visitor has given consent.
• Third-party cookies: may be set by services such as Google Maps, Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA, YouTube embeds, WhatsApp buttons, social media plugins or newsletter tools, depending on what is installed on the website.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies help the website operate safely and correctly. These may include cookies used for security, contact form protection, spam prevention, load balancing, user session management and remembering cookie choices. These cookies do not usually require consent, but we still explain their use in this policy.

4. Analytics Cookies

If enabled, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve pages, services and user experience. Analytics information may include pages visited, time spent on pages, device/browser type and general location information. Analytics cookies should not be set unless the visitor has given any consent required by law.

Developer note: if Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar or another analytics tool is installed, add the provider name and cookie details to the cookie table below.

5. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

We do not recommend enabling marketing cookies at launch unless there is a clear advertising plan and a working consent banner. If marketing tools such as Meta Pixel, Google Ads remarketing, TikTok Pixel or similar tools are added later, visitors must be clearly informed and asked for consent before those cookies or tracking technologies are set, unless a legal exemption applies.

6. Contact Forms, reCAPTCHA and Anti-Spam Tools

Our website may use anti-spam and security tools such as reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile or a honeypot field to help protect the website from spam, automated submissions and misuse. These tools may collect technical information such as IP address, browser details, device information and user interaction information, depending on the provider.

Developer note: once the final anti-spam tool is chosen, update this section and the cookie table with the exact provider and cookie names.

7. Managing Cookies

When you first visit our website, you may see a cookie banner or consent tool. You can accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies where the banner provides those choices. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.
