1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies such as localStorage are also used to store preferences. This policy explains how Purgewipe uses these technologies in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and UK GDPR.
2. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
Essential for the website to function. Includes storage of your cookie consent preferences in localStorage (key: tdde_cookie_prefs). These cannot be disabled through our settings panel as the site requires them to operate lawfully.
Analytics
Help us understand how visitors use our website through anonymised usage data. Placed only with your consent via Accept All or Cookie Settings.
Marketing
May be used to measure the effectiveness of our communications and deliver relevant content about session programmes. Placed only with your consent.
3. Managing consent
On your first visit, a banner offers Accept All, Reject, or Cookie Settings. Your choice is stored in localStorage until you clear browser data. You may change preferences at any time by clearing localStorage and revisiting the site, or by contacting us.
Rejecting optional cookies means analytics and marketing technologies will not be activated by us. Strictly necessary storage remains active.
4. Third-party cookies
Embedded content such as Google Maps on our contact page may set cookies governed by Google's own policies. We recommend reviewing Google's Privacy Policy. An alternative postal address is always provided alongside the map.
5. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Guidance is available at aboutcookies.org. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality.
6. Retention
Consent preferences persist in localStorage until manually cleared. Analytics cookies, where accepted, typically expire after fourteen months.
7. Your rights
Where cookies involve personal data processing, you have rights under UK GDPR including access, erasure, and withdrawal of consent. See our Privacy Policy and contact the ICO at ico.org.uk if dissatisfied with our response.
