Cookie Policy
Which cookies and similar technologies we use on vandacoatings.co.uk, what they do, and how to manage your preferences.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you have already consented to cookies.
We also use localStorage, a similar browser-based storage mechanism, to remember your cookie consent preference. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is never transmitted to our servers.
How we use cookies
We group the technologies we use into three categories: strictly necessary, analytics, and marketing. When you first visit our site, we ask for your consent before placing any analytics or marketing cookies. You can change your preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of any page on this site. From there you can accept or reject analytics and marketing cookies individually, or accept all.
You can also delete cookies already stored on your device via your browser settings. The main browsers provide guidance here:
Note that clearing cookies will also clear your consent preference, and the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
Third-party cookies
Google LLC processes analytics and advertising data under Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal data to the United States. For more information on how Google handles data, see Google's Privacy Policy. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
