1. Cookies Policy – Introduction

  • 1.1This Cookies Policy explains how Land & Power uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.
  • 1.2In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Land & Power.
  • 1.3Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember preferences, improve performance and, where consent is given, support analytics or marketing activity.
  • 1.4Non-essential cookies and similar technologies require consent where required by law. You can use available cookie controls to manage choices and your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Browser settings alone may not prevent information being sent when external services load.

2. Types of cookies we use

  • 2.1We may use the following categories of cookies on our website:
    • (a) strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the website to function and cannot usually be switched off;
    • (b) functional cookies, which help remember choices you make and improve your experience;
    • (c) analytics or performance cookies, which help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it; and
    • (d) marketing or third-party cookies, which may be used to measure campaigns, personalise content or support embedded services, where applicable.
  • 2.2Strictly necessary cookies may be set without your consent because they are required to provide the website or a service you have requested.
  • 2.3Cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary require prior consent where required by law. Hosting access logs and cPanel traffic statistics are separate from browser cookies.

3. Why we use cookies

  • 3.1We use cookies to operate and secure our website, including loading pages correctly, maintaining website functionality and remembering cookie consent choices.
  • 3.2We use hosting access logs and traffic statistics available through cPanel to understand website use and investigate technical issues. These are generated by the hosting service and do not themselves place analytics cookies in your browser. See our Privacy Policy for information about server-log data.
  • 3.3Where you consent, we may use functional cookies to remember preferences such as display choices or form-related settings.
  • 3.4The Contact page loads Google Maps and Google reCAPTCHA by default before you make a cookie choice. These services may use cookies or similar technologies and receive device or connection information as soon as they load. They are separate from our hosting statistics. To block future Google service loads, turn off “Maps and spam protection” in the cookie settings tool and save. The “Reject statistics and marketing” button does not turn this category off. Turning this off removes the interactive Contact page map and Google spam verification, so the enquiry form cannot be submitted. You can still call 01903 816065 or email info@landandpower.co.uk.

4. Third-party cookies

  • 4.1Google Maps provides mapping on the Contact page and Google reCAPTCHA helps protect the enquiry form from spam. These external services may receive information such as your IP address and browser details and may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
  • 4.2Third-party providers may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
  • 4.3For information about Google services, see the Google Privacy Policy and Google cookie information. Information you send directly through those services is also subject to their policies.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

  • 5.1The cookie banner and settings tool let you manage external services. Maps and spam protection are on by default until you make a choice. Turn this category off and save to block future loads of Google Maps and reCAPTCHA. The “Reject statistics and marketing” button rejects only those two categories and saves the current Maps and spam protection choice unchanged. Saving reloads the page with your chosen settings; blocking future loads cannot undo information already sent to Google or remove cookies already set by Google.
  • 5.2You can change your cookie preferences at any time. Select “Cookies Policy” in the website footer, open the cookie settings tool on this page, adjust the switches and select “Save”. Your saved choices apply after the page reloads.
  • 5.3You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some parts of the website may not work correctly.
  • 5.4Visiting the website or leaving the default settings unchanged is not affirmative consent. Prior consent remains required for non-essential cookies and similar technologies where required by law. The default-loading configuration should not be treated as confirmation that those requirements have been met.

6. Personal data and cookies

  • 6.1Some cookies may involve the processing of personal data, such as online identifiers, device information, IP address, browsing activity or consent records.
  • 6.2Where cookies involve personal data, we process that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
  • 6.3You can read more about how we handle personal data in our Privacy Policy.

7. Changes to this Cookies Policy

  • 7.1We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, cookies, technologies or legal requirements.
  • 7.2Any updated version will be published on this page.
  • 7.3If our use of non-essential cookies changes materially, we may ask you to review or renew your cookie preferences.
