Cookie policy
Last updated: August 2026.
This policy is for atlasroofingandbuilding.co.uk and follows the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. It should be read with our privacy notice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar tools (local storage, pixels, scripts) can do a similar job. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used.
We also store your cookie choice in your browser (local storage) so we remember Accept or Reject and do not ask on every page.
Why we use them
We use cookies and similar tools for two reasons only:
- Necessary. To remember whether you have accepted or rejected analytics, and to keep the site secure and working.
- Analytics. To see which pages people use and whether they tap call, WhatsApp or email, so we can improve a small trade website. That is Google Analytics 4 (GA4). It is optional.
We do not use advertising cookies. We do not sell data to ad networks.
What we set
Necessary (no consent needed). Your Accept or Reject choice, kept in your browser. The site also uses ordinary hosting and security features from Cloudflare. Those are needed to deliver the pages.
Analytics (consent needed). Google Analytics 4, only after you press Accept. Until then, GA4 does not load. If you press Reject, it stays off. Analytics cookies and related data are used to measure visits, not to name you.
How long
Your choice stays in your browser until you clear it or use Cookie settings in the footer. Analytics cookies, if accepted, last as long as GA4 needs to measure use and then expire. You can reject at any time and we will stop loading GA4 on later visits from that browser.
How to choose
A bar at the bottom of the site asks you to Accept or Reject. Both choices are as easy as each other. The bar stays until you choose. It does not time out.
Accept: the bar closes and GA4 can load.
Reject: the bar closes, you stay on the same page, and GA4 does not load. The site still works. You can still call, WhatsApp or email.
Change your mind: use Cookie settings in the footer, or clear this site’s data in your browser.
You can also block cookies in your browser. The ICO explains more: ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies.
