What this page covers
This page explains what this website actually does with cookies and similar browser storage. It is based on a review of the site as built, not a generic template — if that ever changes (for example, if we add advertising, embedded videos, or a booking widget), this page should be updated to match.
Cookies this site sets
This website does not set any non-essential cookies for visitors browsing the public pages (Home, Gallery, About, Contact and these legal pages). No advertising, marketing, or third-party tracking cookies are used.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand overall visitor numbers and popular pages. It is designed to work without cookies and without storing any information that identifies you personally — it doesn't track you across other websites.
The quote/enquiry form
Submitting the "Get a Quote" form sends your details to the business without opening your email application. On the contact page, Cloudflare Turnstile uses limited browser and device signals to help distinguish people from automated spam, but it does not receive your form entries. It may use browser storage that is necessary to perform that security check; it is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. Website Whisperer keeps a record of your enquiry so it is not lost if an email fails, and deletes it automatically after 12 months (see the Privacy Policy).
Content management area
Gallery photos are managed through a separate, protected Website Whisperer portal and Sanity administration area. Those sign-in services are not loaded on the public pages. They may set essential authentication cookies only when an authorised user opens the management area and signs in.
Why there's no cookie banner
UK/EU cookie rules require consent before setting non-essential cookies. This site currently uses no advertising, marketing or optional tracking cookies, and the form security check is necessary to protect the service, so a consent banner is not currently needed. If that changes in future, this page and the site will be updated together.
