This cookie policy explains what small data files called cookies are, how our website uses them, what types we place on your device, and the choices you have to adjust or remove them while browsing our cabling supply site. This notice is written in plain language and aligns with UK data protection rules for all visitors accessing the site from domestic and European territories. By continuing to browse after viewing our cookie pop-up, you accept the cookie categories you have opted into.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are tiny text files saved onto your computer, tablet or mobile device when you open any website page. They store simple non-sensitive information about your browsing session, site preferences and page activity, allowing the website to recognise your device on repeat visits and deliver smoother navigation. No cookies used on this site store full personal details like your full name, delivery address or payment information.
2. Types Of Cookies We Use
Necessary Functional Cookies
These cookies cannot be disabled, as they are required for core website functions to work properly. Without them, you will not be able to add network cables or electrical wires to your shopping cart, save your cookie consent choice, or progress through the checkout process securely.
- Cart storage cookies to hold your selected products between page loads
- Cookie preference storage to remember your opt-in or opt-out selections
- Session security cookies to maintain stable page access during browsing
Analytics & Performance Cookies
These optional cookies track anonymous visitor activity across product pages, such as which cable ranges you view most frequently and how long you spend on each section. All collected data is anonymised and cannot be linked back to any individual customer identity. This information helps us adjust page layouts and stock showcases to match visitor interest.
- Page visit count tracking for network wiring product categories
- Device and browser performance logs to fix slow loading page issues
- Exit page tracking to improve site navigation flow
Preference Cookies
These optional cookies save minor personal browsing preferences such as text scaling settings or saved filter selections on our product listing pages, so you do not need to reapply filters each time you return to the store.
3. Cookie Storage Retention Periods
Each cookie type has a fixed automatic expiry date and will be erased from your device once the set storage window ends:
- Session necessary cookies: Deleted automatically once you fully close your browser window
- Cookie consent preference cookies: Stored for 2 years from your last site visit
- Analytics tracking cookies: Stored for 14 months before automatic expiry
- Product filter preference cookies: Stored for 1 year from your browsing session
4. Your Cookie Control Choices
Initial Site Consent Pop-Up
When you first open our website, a cookie notice pop-up will load allowing you to individually toggle analytics and preference cookies on or off before continuing to browse. Necessary functional cookies will activate automatically as they cannot be switched off.
Browser Manual Cookie Management
You can fully clear all stored cookies at any time via your device browser’s settings menu. Most modern browsers also include options to block all third-party cookies entirely, though this may limit some website features after blocking is enabled.
Update Your Consent Later
If you wish to change your previously selected cookie opt-in choices after your first visit, you can clear your browser cookies to trigger the consent pop-up again on your next page load, or reach out to our support team for guidance on adjusting tracking preferences.
5. Third-Party Cookie Partners
Only trusted anonymous analytics providers place optional third-party cookies on this site. No advertising or external marketing tracking partners are integrated into our website, so no targeting advertising cookies are deployed to your device at any point.
All third-party analytics tools follow strict anonymisation rules and never collect identifiable personal information such as contact numbers, email addresses or delivery locations.
6. Cross-Territory Cookie Rules
This site adheres to matching cookie consent standards required for both domestic UK visitors and users accessing the website from European territories. The same cookie opt-in controls and data storage limits apply to all site visitors regardless of their location.
7. Updates To This Cookie Policy
We may adjust this cookie policy occasionally to align with updated website functions or revised data protection guidance. All revised wording will be published live on this page and take immediate effect once updated. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically for minor policy adjustments.
