Legal and policies
Cookie Policy
How cookies and tracking are used.
Yorkshire Digital uses essential preference storage and, if you allow it, analytics and marketing tracking to understand which pages are useful and improve advertising.
Summary
You can accept or decline optional cookies.
Your choice
You can decline optional cookies and still use the website. You can change your choice using the Cookie preferences link in the footer.
Preference storage
The site stores your allow/decline choice so the banner does not keep reappearing on every page.
Cookies and similar storage
What this site uses.
| Technology | Purpose | When used |
|---|---|---|
| yd_analytics_consent | Stores whether you allowed or declined analytics cookies. | Set when you make a cookie choice. |
| Browser storage and page state | Copies the same choice into local/session storage and short-lived page or URL state so it stays consistent as you move between pages. | Set when you make a cookie choice. |
| Package selection session storage | Carries a package you selected into the enquiry form, then removes the stored value after it has been used. | Only when you follow a package enquiry link. |
| Instabook demo embed | Displays the functional booking journey on the Lacquer Room demo page. The embedded service may use storage needed to run that journey. | Only when you open the demo booking page. |
| Google Analytics | Shows which pages are visited, how people move around the website and whether marketing activity is useful. | Only after optional cookies are allowed. |
| Meta Pixel | Helps measure and improve Facebook/Instagram advertising performance. | Only after optional cookies are allowed. |
Analytics and advertising data
What the optional tools may collect.
If you allow optional cookies, Google Analytics and Meta may collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, device/browser information, referral source, clicks and advertising performance. Yorkshire Digital uses this to understand which pages and adverts are working.
Optional cookies declined?
The site still works if you decline.
- You can browse the website and submit enquiries.
- Analytics and marketing scripts are kept off unless consent is allowed.
- You can change your choice at any time from the footer.
Questions
Cookie questions.
Are all cookies bad?
No. Some storage is used to remember choices or keep a website working. The important thing is that non-essential analytics and marketing tracking is explained and controlled.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. Use the Cookie preferences link in the footer to allow or decline optional cookies again. If you switch them off after allowing them, the page reloads without the tracking scripts.
Does declining cookies remove existing provider cookies?
Declining stops this site from loading the Google Analytics and Meta Pixel scripts. Cookies those providers have already stored may remain until they expire, or until you clear them in your browser.
