1. Our current setup
The website’s own code does not set analytics or advertising cookies. Fonts and photographs are served with the website, and there are no embedded social media feeds, videos or maps that load a separate tracking service.
We use browser local storage to remember the choice you make in the cookie banner. Local storage is similar to a cookie in that information is saved on your device, but it is not automatically included in each page request.
2. What we store
| Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
valtoren.cookie-choice.v1 | Records your cookie choice, notice version, saved date and expiry date. Stored locally in this browser. | Up to 180 days |
This essential preference record is only written when you choose an option. Accepting cookies does not enable a hidden analytics or advertising service. Both available choices leave those services off because none are installed.
3. Change or remove your choice
Open at any time. Choose “Essential only” to record that preference, or “Forget my saved choice” to remove the record and see the banner again.
Choices apply to this browser and website address. Another device, another browser or a different domain will have a separate preference. If your browser blocks local storage, your choice can only be remembered for the page you are viewing.
You can also remove site data through your browser settings. No account is required to use this website.
4. The logo introduction
The opening logo is a short visual introduction. It does not use a tracking identifier or save a separate preference in browser storage. It can be skipped and respects your device’s reduced-motion setting.
5. Hosting and future changes
The enquiry form uses a short-lived security token in page memory. It does not create a separate cookie or save the token in local storage. The hosting platform may use necessary security or delivery technologies independently of this website’s own code. See the hosting provider’s privacy policy for its practices.
If optional technologies are introduced, this notice and the consent controls must be updated before those technologies are used. A current choice does not authorise a new purpose. For questions, email waste@valtoren.co.uk.
