Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2025
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can remember preferences, enable certain site functions, and in some cases be used to track browsing behaviour across multiple websites. Not all cookies are the same — some are essential for a website to operate, while others are used for analytics or advertising.
This policy explains exactly which cookies and similar technologies the agtroofing.co.uk website uses, and why.
Cookies We Use
This website uses a minimal number of cookies, limited to those necessary for basic site functionality. We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, retargeting cookies, or any cookies designed to profile your browsing behaviour across different websites.
1. Essential Cookies
When you submit a quote request or contact form, our hosting platform (Netlify) may set a short-lived session cookie to handle the form submission securely. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information, expires at the end of your browser session, and is not used for any tracking purpose.
2. Analytics: Fathom Analytics
We use Fathom Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are most visited and how users navigate the site. Fathom is a privacy-first analytics platform that is fundamentally different from tools like Google Analytics:
- Fathom does not use cookies. It does not set any cookie on your device.
- Fathom does not collect or store any personally identifiable information.
- Fathom does not track you across other websites.
- Fathom is fully compliant with UK GDPR, CCPA, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Because Fathom uses no cookies and collects no personal data, it does not require your consent under UK GDPR or PECR.
What We Do Not Use
We do not use any of the following on this website:
- Google Analytics or other tracking-based analytics platforms
- Facebook Pixel, Google Ads remarketing tags, or similar advertising cookies
- Social media sharing buttons that set third-party cookies
- Live chat tools that use persistent cookies
- Any cookies that track your activity across other websites
Managing Cookies
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. The method varies by browser:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Disabling cookies may prevent our contact form from submitting correctly. Our analytics will be unaffected, as Fathom uses no cookies.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external websites and services (such as Google Maps or review platforms) that may set their own cookies when you interact with them. We have no control over the cookies set by third-party sites. Please refer to those websites' own cookie or privacy policies for further information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in legal requirements. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "last updated" date. We recommend checking this page periodically if you have concerns about how cookies are used on our website.
For further information about how we handle your personal information more broadly, please see our Privacy Policy.
