Cookie Policy

How we use cookies and similar technologies on our website.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to site owners.

Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you are logged in. They do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you.

This policy explains how Slateweave Ltd ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on slateweave.co.uk, and the choices available to you. For broader information on how we handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

2. Cookies We Use

We use a limited number of cookies, grouped into three categories based on their purpose. We aim to minimise our use of cookies and only collect what is necessary.

Essential

Required for the website to function. Cannot be disabled.

Analytics

Help us understand how visitors use the site.

Functional

Remember your preferences for a better experience.

3. Essential Cookies

4. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the site's structure, content, and performance.

We chose Vercel Analytics specifically because it is privacy-focused and does not use cookies for cross-site tracking. All data is aggregated and anonymised.

5. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over which cookies are set on your device. You can manage or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. Below are links to cookie management instructions for the most common browsers:

Please note: Blocking all cookies will affect your experience on our website. Essential cookies are required for the site to function correctly, and disabling them may prevent certain features from working as expected.

7. Third-Party Cookies

We do not use third-party advertising cookies or allow third parties to place tracking cookies on our site for advertising purposes. The only third-party cookies present are those from our analytics provider (Vercel), which are privacy-focused and do not track you across other websites.

If we embed content from external services (such as videos or maps) in the future, those providers may set their own cookies. We will update this policy accordingly and ensure appropriate consent mechanisms are in place.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.

We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
