About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Lord of the Lawns uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. These may include cookies, pixels, browser storage and other technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.

The law

These technologies are governed in the United Kingdom by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, as amended, and by the UK General Data Protection Regulation where personal data is involved.

The rule is that we must obtain your consent before storing anything on your device, or reading anything from it, unless a limited exception applies. One of those exceptions covers anything strictly necessary for a service you have asked for.

Strictly necessary technologies

We may use limited storage or access technologies that are necessary for the website to operate, remain secure or remember choices you have made about privacy or cookies. Where the law provides an exemption for that purpose, these technologies do not require consent.

What this site actually stores

This website sets no cookies at all. It uses one item of first-party browser storage to remember your privacy choices, listed below.

lotl-cookie-consent — local storage, set by this site. It records the choice you made about optional technologies, so we do not have to ask you again on every page. It holds only your choice, the date you made it, and a policy version number. It lasts twelve months, after which we ask again.

This preference record contains no name, contact details or information typed into the quote form. It cannot be read by another website.

If you choose to allow marketing or advertising technologies, the site may activate the Meta Pixel supplied by Meta. It is used to help measure interactions with the website and the effectiveness of advertising.

Advertising and cross-site tracking technologies are not activated on the basis that they are “strictly necessary”. Where consent is required, they are kept inactive until you choose to allow them.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the site’s cookie settings.

The Meta Pixel is supplied by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. When it is active it can set its own cookies and can recognise a browser across other websites and apps that also use it. If you decline, it is never requested and nothing of Meta’s is loaded.

Embedded content

Our consent banner also offers a choice about embedded content — material hosted by another company, such as a map, which can store information on your device as soon as it loads.

At the time of writing this site embeds no third-party content on any page. The choice exists so that if we ever add something of that kind, it stays behind your decision rather than appearing without one.

Your choices

You can choose whether to allow optional cookies and similar technologies when the website asks for your preference. You can also change or withdraw that choice later using the cookie settings available on the site.

Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing unlawful, but optional technologies should stop being used for future activity once your updated choice takes effect.

The control is the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. Rejecting costs you nothing: every part of this website works exactly the same either way.

What we do not do

We do not sell information about you. We do not share your browsing with data brokers. We do not use these technologies to set different prices for different people. We do not make the site harder to use if you decline. We do not currently run any analytics product on this website.

The quote form

When you complete the form, your details are sent to us by email through Web3Forms. This is a single transmission of information you chose to give us. It sets no cookie on this site and does not track you afterwards.

Your postcode is also sent to Postcodes.io to check that the postcode exists. That is an ordinary network request rather than anything stored on your device, and it sets no cookie here.

What happens to those details afterwards is covered by our Privacy Policy.

Other websites

Where we link to another site, that site has its own cookies and its own policy. We are not responsible for what happens once you leave ours.

Your choice is stored for twelve months, after which we will ask again. You can change it sooner at any time.

Changes

If we add anything that stores new information on your device, we will update this policy and ask for your consent again before it is used. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
