This policy explains how Certi Plumbing Services Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your choices and to provide information about how a site is used. Some cookies are essential; others, such as analytics cookies, are only used if you agree to them.
2. How we use cookies
We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. We use two kinds:
- Strictly necessary cookies — needed for the website to function and to remember your cookie choice. These do not require consent and cannot be switched off.
- Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These are only set if you accept them in the cookie banner. No analytics cookies are placed before you consent.

4. Manage your preferences
When you first visit the site you are asked whether to accept analytics cookies. You can change your decision at any time using the button below. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though the site may not work as intended if strictly necessary cookies are blocked.

5. Third-party content
This website also loads some content from third parties — the web fonts and some photography — which may collect technical information such as your IP address when that content loads. This is separate from cookies. Where possible for production, this content can be self-hosted to reduce third-party requests.
6. Changes to this policy & contact
We may update this policy from time to time; changes will be posted here with a new "last updated" date. For any questions about cookies, contact us at admin@certips.co.uk.
