What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your phone, tablet or computer. They help a site work, remember your choices and show the owner how it is being used. This policy explains which cookies lockwaylocksmiths.com uses and how to control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle any personal information they collect.
How we use cookies
We set strictly necessary cookies without asking, because the site cannot work properly without them. We set every other cookie only after you accept it in our cookie banner, as required by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). If you refuse, you can still use the whole site, including our quote form and emergency phone number.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| [consent cookie name] | Lockway | Remembers your cookie choices | 12 months | Strictly necessary |
| NID | Loads embedded Google Maps and remembers preferences | Up to 6 months | Functional | |
| _ga, ga[ID] | Google Analytics | Counts visitors and shows which pages are used, so we can improve the site | Up to 2 years | Analytics |

Providers set the lifetimes of their own cookies and can change them. WordPress also sets login cookies, but only for our staff when they sign in to manage the site, not for visitors.
Third-party content
Some pages show content from other services, including Google reviews, Google Maps and links to our Facebook, X, Instagram and LinkedIn pages. These services can set their own cookies once you interact with them. Their own privacy and cookie policies explain what they do, and we do not control them.
Changing your choices
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of our website. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Each browser does this differently, so check its help pages. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of some websites from working.
To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We may update this policy when we add or remove cookies or tools. The date at the top shows the latest version. Questions about cookies can go to info@lockwaylocksmiths.com or 01482 833962.
