Your choices
Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Sparkling Ovens & Carpets uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, and how you can control your choices. It is written in plain English and works alongside our Privacy Policy.
What this policy covers
This policy covers cookies and similar technologies used on our marketing website. Our online booking service is provided through a separate system, and this policy does not govern the technologies used within that booking application.
Your choices about website cookies and tracking are separate from your choices about service communications, booking administration and any optional direct marketing such as email, text or messaging. Agreeing to optional marketing is not the same as consenting to website cookies, and accepting website cookies is not the same as agreeing to direct marketing.
What cookies and similar technologies are
"Cookies" is used in this policy as a general term that also covers other technologies which store information on, or access information from, your device. These can include browser cookies, pixels, and scripts or tags. Not all tracking technology takes the form of a conventional browser cookie.
How we use them
We group the technologies we may use into the following categories:
Necessary
These support functions that are required for the website, or for the consent mechanism itself, to work correctly. Advertising, attribution and general analytics are not treated as necessary.
Functional
These can support optional website features or remember preferences. Where the law requires consent for a particular functional technology, it is not activated before that consent is given.
Analytics / statistics
These can help us understand how the website is used so that we can improve it. For the initial website launch, if we use analytics or statistics technologies, they will operate only after you have given the relevant consent.
Advertising
Advertising technologies can support purposes such as measuring advertising effectiveness, understanding campaign performance, advertising attribution, and delivering or improving advertising. If we use these technologies, they will operate only after you have given the relevant advertising consent.
Your choices and consent
Where consent is required for a technology, it is based on a positive choice. Simply continuing to browse is not consent, and technologies that need consent are not activated just because a page has loaded. You can refuse these technologies, and you can change or withdraw your choice later. Withdrawing consent is not made harder than giving it.
Refusing optional cookies does not prevent you from accessing the ordinary content of the website.
Changing or withdrawing your choices
You can review or change your choices using the cookie settings on the website. Withdrawing consent does not necessarily delete information that was already lawfully processed before you withdrew it.
Third-party technologies
Some technologies may be provided by third-party service providers. Where a cookie preferences mechanism on the website makes current details available, you can use it to see the technologies in use rather than relying on a list that could become out of date.
How long technologies remain
How long a cookie or similar technology remains depends on the technology and its purpose. Where the cookie preferences mechanism on the website provides current details, those details will be available through it.
Browser controls
You can also use your browser settings to manage or delete cookies. Browser controls do not remove our responsibility to obtain consent where consent is required, and they work in addition to the choices offered on the website.
Relationship to our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains more about how we handle personal information. Please read the two together.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy where our website or the technologies we use change. The current version will be published on this page.
