This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Ceramic 77 (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses them on our website, and what your choices are regarding their use.
1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is placed onto your device (like your computer or phone) when you visit our website. These files store small pieces of information that allow the website to recognize your device and track certain activities. Cookies can be temporary (Session) or last for a set period (Persistent).
They are set either by the website you visit (First-Party) or by another domain, such as an analytics service (Third-Party).
2. Our Use of Cookies (Categories and Purpose)
We use cookies for two reasons. Under UK law, we must have your explicit consent for any cookies that are not strictly necessary for the basic site operation.
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Consent Not Required)
These cookies are essential for the technical functioning, integrity, and security of our website. They are vital for providing the basic service you request, such as remembering your privacy preferences. We do not need your consent for these.
B. Performance and Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)
These cookies track and measure how visitors use our Site, which pages are popular, and how they navigate between content. This data is collected to analyze and improve the performance and content of the website.
- Tool Used: We use Google Analytics, which is accessed via Google Site Kit.
- Provider: Google.
- Type: These are Third-Party cookies set by Google’s domain.
Purpose: The cookies register unique IDs to generate statistical data on website usage, session state, and traffic sources. They are not essential for the website itself to function, only for our internal business analysis. Therefore, we will not set these cookies unless you actively consent via our cookie banner.
3. Your Choices and Control
You have the right to control the use of non-essential cookies.
A. Through Our Cookie Consent Mechanism
When you first land on www.ceramic77.co.uk, you will see a Cookie Consent Banner. This mechanism gives you the choice to accept or reject the use of non-essential cookies (like Google Analytics). Non-essential cookies will not be placed on your device until you give your active consent. You will also have a simple way to withdraw that consent later.
B. Through Your Browser Settings
You can block or delete cookies by adjusting the settings in your web browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox). You can choose to:
- Block all cookies.
- Block only third-party cookies.
- Delete cookies already stored on your device.
If you block all cookies, be aware that some functionality on our Site and other websites may not work correctly. For additional control over Google Analytics specifically, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google.
