This Cookie Policy explains how Gamber Limited, trading as Gamber Log Yard Hereford, uses cookies and similar technologies on gamberlogyardhereford.co.uk.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can place on a computer, telephone, tablet or other device.

Cookies allow a website to remember information about a visit, provide website functions, maintain security and remember choices such as cookie preferences.

Some cookies are deleted when the browser is closed. Other cookies remain on the device for a specified period or until they are manually removed.

2. Similar Technologies

Websites may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, including:

• Browser local storage and session storage.
• Scripts and tags.
• Tracking pixels and web beacons.
• Device identifiers.
• Embedded content.
• Security and anti-spam technologies.

References to cookies in this policy include similar storage and access technologies where appropriate.

3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed directly through the Gamber Log Yard Hereford website.

Third-party cookies are placed or operated by another organisation whose service or content is used on the website.

Third-party providers are responsible for the technologies they operate and may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

4. How We Manage Cookie Consent

We use the Complianz cookie-consent system to:

• Display the website's cookie notice.
• Explain the categories of cookies used.
• Allow visitors to accept or reject optional cookies.
• Prevent optional Statistics cookies from being used before consent.
• Remember the visitor's cookie choices.
• Allow visitors to change or withdraw their consent.
• Maintain an up-to-date list of detected cookies and services.

When you first visit the website, you can:

• Accept optional cookies.
• Reject optional cookies.
• Review and configure your preferences.

Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent access to the main content of the website.

5. Categories of Cookies

Functional and Strictly Necessary Cookies

Functional and strictly necessary cookies are required to operate the website or provide a service specifically requested by the visitor.

They may be used to:

• Keep the website secure.
• Prevent spam, fraud and malicious activity.
• Maintain website and server stability.
• Remember cookie and privacy choices.
• Provide website-administration functions.
• Submit and protect website forms.

These cookies may be used without consent because the relevant website functions would not operate correctly without them.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies may allow the website to remember choices that alter how the website behaves or appears.

Where a preference cookie is not strictly necessary, it will be disabled unless the relevant consent has been given.

Statistics Cookies

Statistics cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the website.

They may collect information about:

• Pages viewed.
• Time spent on the website.
• Links and buttons used.
• How the visitor reached the website.
• Browser and device type.
• Approximate geographical location.
• Website errors and performance.

Statistics cookies are disabled by default and are only activated after the visitor gives consent.

Marketing Cookies

The website does not currently intentionally use cookies for behavioural advertising, remarketing or creating advertising profiles.

If marketing technology is introduced in the future, it will be disabled until the required consent has been obtained and this policy will be updated.

6. Cookies and Services Used on This Website

The cookie list below is maintained through the website's Complianz cookie scan. It identifies the cookies and related technologies currently detected on the website, their purpose and their expected retention period.

7. Cookie-Consent Preferences

Complianz uses functional cookies or similar storage to remember whether you have accepted, rejected or configured optional cookie categories.

These consent-preference technologies are strictly necessary because they prevent the website from repeatedly asking for the same choice and ensure that optional services respect your preference.

The exact names and durations of the consent cookies are included in the current cookie list above.

8. Google Analytics 4

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the website.

Provider: Google Ireland Limited

Measurement ID: G-VHZR5B22XK

Category: Statistics

Purpose: Google Analytics produces statistical reports about website traffic, popular pages, visitor journeys, device types, referring websites and website performance.

Information used: This may include IP address, approximate location, browser and device information, operating system, pages viewed, visit times, referral information, interactions and cookie or device identifiers.

Legal basis: Consent

Google Analytics is disabled unless you accept Statistics cookies through the website's cookie controls.

A normal Google Analytics 4 installation may use the following cookies:

_ga

9. WordPress Administration and Session Cookies

WordPress may use functional cookies to provide secure login, administration and session functions for authorised website administrators.

These cookies are not normally set for ordinary public visitors who are not logged into the website.

Category: Functional

Purpose: Website login, administration, security and session management.

Duration: Session or limited persistent duration.

Party: First party

10. Website Security and Form Protection

The website uses security and anti-spam systems to protect the website and enquiry form against:

• Spam and automated submissions.
• Malicious requests.
• Unauthorised login attempts.
• Malware and website attacks.
• Fraud, misuse and technical faults.

These systems may process technical information such as an IP address, browser information, request information and security indicators.

Security technologies used solely to protect the website or provide a form requested by the visitor are treated as functional or strictly necessary.

11. Contact Forms

The website enquiry form collects information that you actively enter, including your name, email address, contact number, enquiry type and message.

Submitting information through a form is not itself consent to Statistics or Marketing cookies.

Functional anti-spam measures may be used to protect the form against automated submissions.

Further information about the use of enquiry-form information is available in our Privacy Policy.

12. Embedded Content

Pages may contain content supplied by external providers, such as interactive maps, videos, social-media content or other third-party services.

External providers may attempt to set cookies or collect technical information when their content is loaded.

Where the relevant service is not strictly necessary, Complianz may block it until you give the appropriate consent or actively request the content.

Blocked content may not function unless the relevant cookie category is enabled.

13. External Links and Facebook

The website contains a link to Facebook and may contain links to other external websites.

A normal external link does not usually allow the external provider to place cookies through this website merely because the link is displayed.

When you follow an external link, the provider may set its own cookies or collect information in accordance with its own policies.

14. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

You can review or change your cookie choices at any time using the controls below:

Withdrawing consent prevents the relevant optional technologies from being used on future page views.

Changing your preference may not automatically delete cookies already stored on your device. Existing cookies can be removed through your browser settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

15. Controlling Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to view, block and delete cookies through their privacy settings.

Browser controls can normally be used to:

• View stored cookies.
• Delete individual cookies.
• Delete all cookies.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Block cookies from particular websites.
• Delete cookies when the browser closes.

Blocking all cookies may prevent website functions such as forms, secure logins and saved preferences from working correctly.

16. Personal Information

Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal information, including IP addresses, device identifiers and browsing activity.

Where information collected through these technologies identifies or can reasonably be linked to an individual, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

17. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

• The website or its functions change.
• A plugin or third-party service is added or removed.
• The cookies used by a provider change.
• The purposes for which cookies are used change.
