Cookie Notice

Cookies in brief

Think of a cookie as a small note that a website leaves with your browser. It is a tiny text file, usually holding a label or an identifier, kept on whichever laptop, mobile or desktop you are browsing from. When you return to the same site, or move between its pages, your browser can pass that note back so the site recognises a choice you made earlier. Certain cookies are wiped as soon as you shut the browser window. Others are given a lifespan and linger until that period runs out or until you remove them yourself. On their own, cookies cannot run programs or read other files on your device.

What Yorkshire Subsidence Experts uses

This website is deliberately kept simple. It does not place any cookies designed to follow you around the internet, build a profile of your browsing habits or show you adverts. Nothing here is used to measure your visits for marketing purposes or to sell space to advertisers. If the site ever needs a small file purely so a page or feature works as you would expect, that file exists only to make the site function, not to watch what you do.

Cookies from other providers

Some parts of a modern website rely on services run by other companies. For example, when you send a message through the enquiry form, the submission is handled by Basin, a form processing service. Providers like this may store cookies of their own on your device, and those files are governed by the provider's own policies rather than by this notice. Yorkshire Subsidence Experts does not decide what those companies store or how long they keep it, so if you want the detail, it is worth reading the privacy information each provider publishes.

Managing cookies yourself

You stay in charge of what your browser keeps. Every mainstream browser has a settings or privacy area where you can view the cookies already saved, delete some or all of them, and choose to block new ones, either across the board or only from particular sites. Many browsers also offer a private browsing mode that discards cookies once the window is closed. Bear in mind that switching cookies off entirely can stop some features on various websites from behaving properly, including forms. If you have a question about this notice, please get in touch through the enquiry form.
