This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies we use on findalocaluk.com and find-a-local.uk, why we use them, and how you can change your mind. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy. We follow the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels, SDKs and tracking tags — do much the same job. Where we say "cookies" below, we mean all of them.
| Category | Basis | What it does | Typical life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | No consent needed | Session and authentication cookies, security tokens, load balancing, remembering your form progress. | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics & performance | Consent | Google Analytics and similar — which pages get read, where people drop out of a form, how fast pages load. | Up to 26 months |
| Session replay | Consent | Contentsquare / Microsoft Clarity-style tools that record anonymised page interactions so we can spot broken journeys. | Up to 13 months |
| Advertising & measurement | Consent | Meta Pixel and Google Ads tags that tell us which advert led to an enquiry, and let us show relevant ads. | Up to 13 months |
Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working — sign-in, security and form state. Everything else only runs if you agree.
Non-essential cookies are set by third parties acting on our instructions or as independent controllers, including Google (Analytics and Ads), Meta (Pixel), Microsoft Clarity and Contentsquare-style replay tools, and Stripe for payment security. Each has its own privacy notice, and some process data outside the UK under UK-approved transfer safeguards.
You can withdraw consent at any time — clear the site's cookies in your browser and choose differently when the banner reappears, block cookies in your browser settings, or email us at office@find-a-local.uk and we'll action it. Blocking non-essential cookies won't stop you using the site or getting a quote.
Browser guides: Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox all let you view and delete cookies from their privacy settings menu.
Where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a withdrawal of consent for advertising and analytics cookies.

We update this policy when our tooling changes. The date at the top always tells you the current version.
