Analytics, Advertising and Tracking Technologies

We use Google Tag Manager to load the analytics service described below. Tag Manager sets no cookies of its own, and the services it loads stay switched off until you accept the matching cookie category. There are two exceptions: our regional pages include an embedded Google map, and pages with a video embed it from YouTube. Both set cookies belonging to Google as soon as the page loads, before you have made any cookie choice.

Our Cookie Policy explains which services set cookies, what they are used for, how long they last, and how to change or withdraw your choice.

Google Analytics

Where you accept analytics cookies, our website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website, including:

  • IP address, used to estimate your general location and then discarded
  • Browser type
  • Device information
  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on the website
  • Traffic sources

This information helps us understand website usage and improve the user experience.

Google Ads Tracking

No advertising tags currently run on this website, so accepting the advertising cookie category does not set any cookies today.

If we start running online advertising campaigns, we will use Google Ads conversion tracking to measure their effectiveness, and Google may place cookies on your device when you click on an advertisement and visit our website. We will update this policy and our Cookie Policy before any of that happens, and nothing will be set until you have given the matching consent.

Lead Tracking Software (Leadzilla)

We use Leadzilla, a customer relationship and lead management platform, to manage enquiries and communications.

Information submitted through our website may be stored within Leadzilla to allow us to:

  • Respond to enquiries
  • Provide quotations
  • Manage bookings
  • Send service updates and marketing communications
  • Improve response times and customer service

Data Storage

Customer information may be securely stored in the following systems:

  • Email systems used to manage enquiries
  • Customer relationship management software (Leadzilla)
  • Our website hosting provider (Netlify), which processes and stores submissions from our website forms

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data.

Sharing Your Information

We may share personal data with trusted third parties where necessary to deliver our services, including:

  • Our website hosting provider, Netlify, which receives website form submissions
  • Spam filtering provided by Akismet (operated by Automattic), which automatically scans website form submissions to identify spam
  • Our customer management platform, Leadzilla

Form submissions are checked automatically for spam before they reach us. This check is carried out by our hosting provider and involves the content of your enquiry being processed by Akismet.

All third parties are required to handle personal data securely and in accordance with data protection laws.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary.

Typical retention periods include:

  • Customer records and survey documentation: up to 6 years
  • Financial records: as required by UK tax law

After this period, information is securely deleted or anonymised.

Marketing Communications

We may send marketing emails or updates about our services through Leadzilla.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality and analyse website traffic.

Cookies may be used for:

  • Website performance
  • Analytics tracking
  • Advertising and conversion tracking
  • Displaying embedded Google maps
  • Playing embedded YouTube videos

Apart from the cookies that are strictly necessary to run the site, we only set cookies once you have accepted them using the cookie banner shown on your first visit. There are two exceptions: our regional pages include an embedded Google map, and pages with a video embed it from YouTube. In both cases Google sets its own cookies as soon as the page loads, without waiting for your consent. You can change or withdraw your cookie choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the website footer, and you can also manage cookies through your browser settings, though this does not stop Google's cookies being set by those embeds.

Full details of every cookie we set, including the Google Maps and YouTube cookies described above and how long each one lasts, are in our Cookie Policy.

Children's Information

Our services are intended for property owners, businesses, and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Request transfer of your data to another provider

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.
