This policy explains how Formby Web Design uses cookies and similar technologies on formbywebdesign.co.uk. It should be read with our Privacy Notice.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. Similar technologies, including local storage and pixels, can perform related functions. Some are necessary for a website to work; others help measure use or remember choices.
Cookie categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Security, network delivery, basic site functions and remembering your cookie choices. | These cannot normally be disabled through our consent tool because the website needs them to function. |
| Preferences | Remember settings that improve your experience where this feature is used. | Used only where permitted by your selected preferences. |
| Analytics | Help us understand aggregated website use, such as pages visited and referral sources, so we can improve content and performance. Our site may use Google analytics services for this purpose. | Non-essential analytics are used only after consent where UK law requires it. |
| Affiliate and advertising | Help an affiliate network or retailer recognise that a visit or qualifying purchase came from one of our links. Awin and Amazon may set or read cookies after you follow a link to their websites. | Controls on the destination website and the provider’s own policy apply after you leave our site. |
Affiliate links
Clicking an affiliate link may send a referral identifier to Awin, Amazon or the named supplier. The third party may then use cookies or similar technology to attribute a transaction. Please read the destination site’s cookie and privacy information before making a purchase. Our Affiliate Disclosure explains how we identify commercial links.
Managing your choices
You can accept, reject or adjust non-essential cookie categories using the cookie banner or cookie settings control on this website. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser, although doing so may affect website functions.
Cookie names, providers and durations can change when site tools are updated. The consent panel is intended to display the current scan and choices available on your device. If the panel and this overview differ, please contact us so we can investigate.
Third-party information
For more detail about third-party technologies, consult the privacy and cookie information published by the relevant provider, including Google, Awin and Amazon. We do not control cookies placed on another organisation’s website.
