Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how WebOws Design Limited ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website www.webowsdesign.co.uk.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help make websites work more efficiently and provide useful information to site owners.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Ensure our website functions properly.
• Understand how visitors use our site and improve user experience.
• Monitor website performance and troubleshoot issues.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Two kinds, on www.webowsdesign.co.uk:

• Essential: what is needed to serve the site securely, plus one item remembering the choice you make in our cookie banner. Both are exempt from the consent requirement - one because the site cannot be delivered without it, the other because it records a preference you asked for.
• Analytics: Google Analytics, and only if you accept our cookie banner. If you decline, or close the banner without choosing, none of these are set and nothing about how the site works for you changes.

The table below lists everything this site can store on your device, and reflects the site as it runs today.

No Google Ads or Tag Manager cookie is set on this site, because neither is used here.

4. Your Choice

Analytics cookies are only ever set after you click Accept on our banner. Clicking Reject, or simply not answering, means Google Analytics never loads and no analytics cookie is ever set - the site works exactly the same either way.

You can change your mind at any time. A small "Cookie preferences" control stays on the page once you have made a choice; clicking it reopens the banner so you can accept or withdraw with the same one click the original choice took.

You can also remove any cookie already set by clearing this site's data in your browser settings, and you can block cookies entirely in your browser, though this may affect how some sites work.

5. Third-Party Cookies and Requests

Only Google Analytics sets a cookie on this site, and only once you have accepted our banner. Cookies are not the only way information travels, so we would rather say what happens even when nothing is stored:

• If you accept, the Google Analytics tag (`gtag.js`) loads from Google's own servers and reports each page you view, along with the cookies described above.
• If you reject, or do not answer, nothing beyond serving the page itself is loaded, and no request to Google is made at all.
• Whatever you choose, our own server records that the page was served: which page, roughly when, and coarse location, browser and device information taken from the request itself. This is not a third party and sets no cookie - it is us counting what our own server did.

Google's own privacy policy explains what it does with the data our Analytics property collects: policies.google.com/privacy.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The latest version will always be available on this page.
