Cookie Policy
Last updated
This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on www.westminsterhomes.co.uk, why we use them, and how you can control them. You can change your choice whenever you like — use the control here or in the footer of every page.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They let a site remember your preferences and help its owner understand how the site is being used. This policy also covers similar technologies, such as browser local storage, which work in much the same way.
Cookies we use
We keep this to a minimum. At present this website sets only strictly necessary storage — a single record of your own cookie choice. We do not set advertising cookies, we do not build profiles of your interests, and we do not allow third parties to place advertising cookies through this site.
Strictly necessary
Required for the website to work and to honour your privacy choices. These cannot be switched off, because the site cannot function without them and because we are permitted to use them without consent.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
wh.cookie-consent | Local storage | Remembers the cookie preferences you have chosen, so we do not ask again. | Until you clear it or the policy version changes |
Analytics — off unless you allow them
Analytics cookies would tell us how many people visit the site, which pages they find useful and whether anything is broken. No analytics service is currently installed, so no analytics cookies are being set. Our preference centre already includes this category so that, if we do introduce measurement in future, it will run only after you have given permission — never before.
Marketing — off unless you allow them
Marketing cookies would be used to measure the effectiveness of our own campaigns. No marketing cookies are currently in use on this website. As with analytics, the category is listed so that your consent is obtained first if that ever changes.
Managing your preferences
When you first visit, the cookie notice offers you three choices:
- Accept all cookies — allow every category described above.
- Reject non-essential — keep only the strictly necessary storage. The website works normally.
- Customise preferences — decide category by category. Nothing is pre-selected for you.
You can reopen the preference centre at any time using , which appears in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect how other websites behave, though it will not stop this one from working.
Third-party content
Our contact and enquiry forms are handled by Netlify, our hosting provider, which processes the details you submit so that we can reply. Form handling does not require advertising or tracking cookies. We do not embed third-party advertising, social media tracking pixels or session-recording tools on this website. If we introduce any embedded third-party content in future, we will update this policy and, where consent is required, ask for it first.
Changes to this policy
If we change the cookies we use, we will update this page and, where the change requires fresh consent, ask you to make your choice again.
