This policy explains how AR Gardiner & Co. Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. “Similar technologies” includes things like local storage, which works in much the same way. They help a site work, remember choices, and understand how it is used.
We keep this to a minimum. We use:
| Type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | A small amount of local storage that lets our enquiry forms and chat assistant work, for example holding your message while you fill it in. The site can’t function properly without these, so they don’t require consent. |
| Third-party content | Some pages load content from other providers who may set their own cookies: Google Fonts (typography), our content-delivery networks (for styling and icons), and Google Maps (the map on our Contact page). These are controlled by those providers under their own policies. |
| Analytics | We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand how many people visit the site and which pages are popular. It is privacy-friendly: it uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, does not track you across other websites, and does not build a profile of you. Because the data is aggregated and anonymous, no consent banner is needed. We do not use any advertising cookies. |
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or remove them, and open a “private” window that doesn’t keep them. Blocking strictly necessary items may stop parts of the site (like the enquiry form) working as intended. The map on our Contact page is embedded from Google; you can avoid its cookies by not using it and contacting us by phone or email instead.
We may update this policy from time to time; the date at the top shows when it last changed. Any questions, email bobby@argardiner.co.uk.
