What we use
The table lists everything this website stores or loads for measurement or sign-in.
| Item | Type | Purpose | When it is used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staff session cookie | Strictly necessary cookie | Keeps staff signed in to the admin area | Only when a staff member signs in |
| Security (CSRF) token | Strictly necessary | Protects staff admin actions against forged requests | With the staff admin login |
| Saved selection and quote basket | Browser local storage | Remembers the products and quantities you save | When you save a product or add it to your quote basket |
| Analytics choice | Browser local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics | When you answer the analytics question |

Strictly necessary cookie
The only cookie this website sets itself is for the staff admin login session, with a related security (CSRF) token. You do not need to sign in to browse the site or send a request.
Browser storage
Your saved selection and quote basket are stored in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie. They hold product references and quantities only, never contact details, and they are not sent to us unless you submit a request or create a share link. Clear them with the clear option on your selection, or by clearing this site's data in your browser.
Anonymous usage events
We record anonymous first-party usage events on our own server to see how the website is used and where it can be improved. They never include names, email addresses, phone numbers or the contents of messages, and we do not share them with advertisers.
Google Analytics
If Google Analytics 4 is configured for this site, we ask before loading it. If you accept, Google's script loads and sets Google's own analytics cookies. If you decline, or do not answer, it does not load. Google processes this data under its own terms and privacy policy.
You can change your choice at any time using the analytics settings link in the footer, or by clearing this site's data in your browser so that the question appears again.
Videos
Some videos on this site are hosted on YouTube. When a YouTube video is loaded or played, YouTube may set its own cookies under Google's policies.
