This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the Trent Valley Contracting Limited website at trent-valley.co.uk. It should be read alongside our privacy policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to recognise your device, remember preferences, and collect information about how the site is used.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage in your browser to remember your cookie preferences. References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies where applicable.
The cookies and technologies we use
We use a small number of cookies and storage items, set out in the table below.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookies | Essential | Keeps the site working as you move between pages. | Session |
| tvc-cookie-consent (local storage) | Essential | Records your cookie preferences so we do not show the consent prompt again. | 12 months |
| Dotwall Monitor | Optional | Aggregated, anonymous information about site usage via our analytics provider (Dotwall). Only loaded if you accept optional cookies. | Up to 26 months |
We may add Google Analytics in future. If we do, it will be listed in this table, configured in anonymised mode, and only loaded where you have accepted optional cookies.
Essential vs optional
Essential cookies and storage are required for the site to function and do not require consent. Optional cookies and analytics scripts are only set or loaded if you have given consent through the cookie banner.
Managing your preferences
You can manage cookies and similar technologies in the following ways:
- Through the cookie banner that appears when you first visit the site — choose "Accept all" or "Reject non-essential".
- At any time using the Cookie preferences link in the site footer to reopen the banner and change your choice.
- Through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage and delete cookies. See the help section of your browser for instructions.
If you reject non-essential cookies, the site will continue to function normally. We do not use cookies for advertising or for tracking you across other websites.
Third-party cookies
We do not use third-party advertising or marketing cookies. Optional analytics may set cookies via our analytics providers (currently Dotwall Monitor). These are only activated with your consent.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add or change analytics services. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page.
