Every cookie this website sets, what it does and how long it lasts. Four of them, and three only if you say yes.
This cookie policy lists what adeptheating.co.uk stores on your device, why, and how to change it. A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser so it can remember something on your next page or your next visit.
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations we can only store anything that is not strictly necessary once you have agreed to it. So nothing but the cookie holding your own choice is set until you press accept.

| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long | Needs consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
adept_consent |
This website | Remembers whether you accepted analytics, so you are not asked again on every page. | 6 months | No, strictly necessary |
_ga |
Google Analytics | Tells one visitor apart from another so a visit is not counted five times. | 2 years | Yes |
_ga_WWT3XKYCS2 |
Google Analytics | Keeps the state of your visit, so pages viewed one after another count as one visit. | 2 years | Yes |
wordpress_*, wp-settings-* |
This website | Keeps us logged in to edit the site. Only ever set for our own staff, never for a visitor. | Up to 1 year | No, strictly necessary |
That is the full list. There is no advertising pixel on this site, no Facebook tracking, no chat widget and no third party cookie beyond the two Google Analytics ones above.
We look at how many people came to the site, which pages they read, which town pages get used and whether people found us on Google or through a link. It tells us which pages are worth writing more of.
It is reported to us as numbers, not names. We cannot see who you are from it, and we do not try to. Google deletes the underlying data after no more than fourteen months.
If you press Essential only, the Google tag is told not to store anything on your device and no analytics cookie is written. What we do with personal information generally is set out in our privacy policy.
You can change your mind at any time, and it is no harder than saying yes was. Press the button below, or use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page.
We ask again after six months anyway, so a choice never sits there forever.
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies, usually under Settings, then Privacy. Doing it that way covers every website you visit, not just this one.
Be aware that if you delete all your cookies you will also delete the one holding your choice here, so the bar will come back. Blocking cookies outright can stop other sites working properly, particularly shopping and banking ones.
Two things on this site are fetched from Google's servers rather than ours. Neither sets a cookie, but both mean your browser makes a request to Google, which tells Google your IP address.
The typefaces the site is set in are served by Google Fonts. The profile pictures next to our Google reviews are served by Google, because that is where the reviews live.
The WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram buttons are ordinary links. Nothing is embedded and nothing loads from those companies until you click through to them.
If we ever add anything that sets a cookie, it goes in the table above before it goes on the site, and the date at the top changes.
If you think something is missing from this cookie policy, tell us and we will check it. The Information Commissioner's Office has plain guidance on cookies at ico.org.uk if you want to read more, and you can always get in touch with us.
For the wider picture, our privacy policy covers everything else we do with personal information, and the about page tells you who you are dealing with.
Ring 07519 665062 or email info@adeptheating.co.uk and ask us anything on this page.
