Cookie Policy | GatherGoods Hire Ltd

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

2. How We Use Cookies

GatherGoods Hire Ltd uses the following types of cookies on this website:

2.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate correctly. Essential cookies are always active and do not require your consent.

Essential cookies we use include:

• Cookie consent preference cookie (gg_cookie_consent): Stores your cookie consent preference so you are not asked again on repeat visits. Stored in your browser's local storage.
• Session cookies: Temporary cookies used to maintain website function during your browsing session. Deleted when you close your browser.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use this website — for example, which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay, and what device and browser they use. This information helps us improve the website.

Analytics cookies are optional. We do not activate analytics cookies until you have given consent through our cookie banner.

If you accept analytics cookies, we may use a privacy-friendly analytics service. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify individual visitors.

2.3 Form and Session Cookies

When you use our hire enquiry or contact forms, session-related cookies or browser storage may be used to maintain form state during your session. These are temporary and do not persist after your session ends.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Currently, GatherGoods Hire Ltd does not load third-party cookies unless you consent to analytics cookies. If an analytics service is activated, that service may set its own cookies in accordance with its own cookie policy.

We do not load social media cookies, advertising cookies, or tracking cookies without explicit consent.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit this website, a cookie banner is displayed offering you the choice to:

• Accept All: Accepts essential and optional analytics cookies.
• Essential Only: Accepts essential cookies only. Analytics cookies are not activated.
• Manage: Opens the preference panel to individually select which cookie types you accept.

You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this website, which will reset the consent record and display the cookie banner again on your next visit.

You can also manage and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for guidance on how to do this.
