This Cookie Policy explains how Car Valeting Sheffield uses cookies and similar technologies on https://car-valeting-sheffield.co.uk.
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, provide booking functionality, understand how visitors use our website, measure advertising performance and support our marketing activities.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them.
Cookies can be used for several purposes, including:
- Making websites function correctly
- Remembering preferences
- Maintaining security
- Measuring website traffic
- Understanding how visitors interact with websites
- Measuring advertising campaigns
- Supporting personalised or targeted advertising
The rules also apply to certain technologies that are not technically cookies but which store or access information on a user’s device.
Under UK PECR, websites generally need to provide clear information about cookies and obtain consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies, unless a specific exemption applies. citeturn0search5
2. Types of cookies we use
We may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website or a service requested by you to operate.
They may be used for purposes such as:
- Website security
- Session management
- Booking functionality
- Remembering cookie-consent choices
- Basic website functionality
These technologies may be used without consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have explicitly requested or where another applicable exemption applies.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website.
Analytics information may include:
- Pages visited
- Traffic sources
- Approximate location
- Device and browser information
- Interactions with website content
- Session information
Analytics cookies are non-essential unless a specific exemption applies. We therefore configure them to require consent where required by applicable law.
Advertising and marketing cookies
We use Google Ads and Meta Pixel technologies to measure advertising performance and understand interactions between our advertising and website.
These technologies may be used to:
- Measure conversions
- Understand which advertising campaigns generate visits or bookings
- Create or measure advertising audiences
- Improve advertising effectiveness
- Support remarketing or similar advertising activities where enabled
These technologies may involve processing information by Google and Meta.
Advertising and marketing cookies are non-essential and will only be activated where the required consent has been obtained.
3. Cookie consent
When you first visit our website, we may display a cookie-consent mechanism allowing you to choose which categories of non-essential cookies you accept.
Where consent is required, we will not set or activate non-essential analytics or advertising technologies before you provide consent.
Consent must be a genuine choice. We do not treat continued browsing alone as consent where applicable law requires active consent.
The ICO’s current guidance states that consent for cookies must be actively and clearly given and that users must be told what the cookies do and why they are used. citeturn0search5
4. Managing your cookie preferences
You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time through the cookie settings mechanism provided on our website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website or booking system.
5. Third-party services
Some cookies and similar technologies are provided by third parties.
Our website may use services including:
Google Analytics
Google Analytics helps us understand website usage and performance.
Google may process information collected through its services in accordance with its own privacy documentation.
Google Ads
Google Ads technologies help us measure advertising campaigns and conversions.
Depending on our configuration and your consent, Google may use information from our website to measure or support advertising activities.
Meta Pixel
Meta Pixel is used to measure advertising performance and website interactions associated with Meta advertising.
Meta may process information collected through its technologies in accordance with its own terms and privacy policies.
Bookly
Our website uses Bookly to provide booking functionality.
Bookly and related website technologies may use cookies or other storage mechanisms necessary to provide and maintain booking functionality.
The exact cookies used by Bookly may depend on the version, configuration and extensions installed on our website.
6. Cookie table
The exact cookies used on the website may change depending on our configuration and the services enabled.
The following table describes the principal categories of technologies we expect to use:
| Category | Provider | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Car Valeting Sheffield / website infrastructure | Website functionality, security and cookie preferences | Not normally required where strictly necessary |
| Booking | Bookly | Booking and appointment functionality | Not normally required where strictly necessary |
| Analytics | Google Analytics | Website analytics and performance measurement | Required where applicable |
| Advertising | Google Ads | Advertising measurement and conversion tracking | Required where applicable |
| Advertising | Meta Pixel | Advertising measurement and audience/marketing functionality | Required where applicable |
The exact cookie names, domains, expiry periods and purposes should be confirmed against the live website’s current cookie scan.
7. How long cookies remain on your device
Cookies may be:
Session cookies — these are generally deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies — these remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.
The retention period depends on the particular cookie or technology and its purpose.
Because third-party services such as Google and Meta may change the cookies they use, the exact expiry period may change over time.
8. International data transfers
Some third-party technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.
Where this occurs, the relevant provider is responsible for applying appropriate safeguards to international transfers in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Further information is available in our Privacy Policy.
9. Cookies and personal data
Some cookie information may constitute personal data, particularly where it can be associated with an identifiable individual or device.
Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, we process it in accordance with applicable UK and EU data protection law.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data.
10. Advertising and profiling
Where enabled, Google Ads and Meta Pixel may allow us to measure interactions with advertising and understand which advertising campaigns are effective.
Depending on the configuration of these services, this may involve profiling or the creation of advertising audiences.
We will obtain consent where required before activating technologies used for these purposes.
11. Your rights
Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, you may have rights under applicable data protection law, including rights to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion
- Restrict processing
- Object to certain processing
