3. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.
Cookies can store information about your visit and allow a website to recognise your device or remember certain preferences.
They can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Making websites function correctly
- Maintaining website security
- Remembering user preferences
- Understanding how visitors use a website
- Measuring website performance
- Improving website navigation and usability
- Providing a more consistent visitor experience
Some cookies remain on your device only for the duration of your visit. These are commonly known as session cookies.
Other cookies may remain on your device for a defined period after you leave the website. These are commonly known as persistent cookies.
Cookies can also be described as first-party or third-party cookies.
First-party cookies are associated with the website you are visiting.
Third-party cookies are associated with another organisation or service used by the website.
4. How We Use Cookies
UK Lift Inspection Services uses a limited number of cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve our website.
Our principal uses fall into two categories.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These support essential website functionality, security and the storage of choices you make about optional cookies.
Analytics Cookies
With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our website and identify opportunities to improve it.
We do not currently intend to use cookies for behavioural advertising, remarketing or cross-site advertising profiling.
If our use of cookies changes, we will review this policy and update our consent arrangements as required.
5. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies and similar storage technologies are used where required for the website to operate correctly or to provide functionality requested by a visitor.
They may be used for purposes including:
- Maintaining essential website functionality
- Supporting website security
- Preventing technical problems or misuse
- Protecting website forms against spam and unauthorised submissions
- Remembering your cookie preferences
- Processing information specifically requested through the website
These technologies are not used for behavioural advertising.
Where they are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by you or meet an applicable exemption, consent may not be required.
Where our cookie preference system stores your choice, a cookie or similar browser storage technology may be used to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies.
This helps prevent you from being asked to make the same choice on every visit.
The exact name and duration of any preference storage technology depend on the configuration of the website's consent system.
6. Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to help us understand how visitors interact with our website.
Google Analytics provides information that can help us understand:
- How many people visit the website
- Which pages receive the most visits
- How visitors arrive at the website
- How visitors navigate between pages
- How long visitors engage with different pages
- General website engagement and interactions
- Device and browser types
- Approximate geographical information
- Website performance and usability
We use this information to assess website performance and identify ways to improve its content, navigation, accessibility and overall visitor experience.
For example, analytics may help us understand which inspection service pages visitors find most useful, how people navigate to our contact page and whether visitors experience difficulties using the website.
We do not use Google Analytics to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individual website visitors.
7. Google Analytics Cookies
Google Analytics 4 may place cookies including the following when analytics cookies are enabled.
_ga
Provider: Google Analytics
Purpose: Used to distinguish website visitors for analytics purposes.
Typical duration: Up to 2 years, depending on configuration.
Category: Analytics

_ga_*
Provider: Google Analytics
Purpose: Used to maintain and persist information about a visitor's session and interactions for analytics purposes.
Typical duration: Up to 2 years, depending on configuration.
Category: Analytics
Consent: Required where applicable under UK cookie rules.
The asterisk in _ga_* represents an identifier associated with the Google Analytics property configured for this website.
The actual cookie name will contain this property-specific identifier.
Cookie names, purposes and durations may occasionally change as Google updates its services or as our analytics configuration changes.
Where applicable, analytics cookies will only be placed after the visitor has provided the necessary consent.
8. Google Analytics and Your Consent
We treat Google Analytics as an optional analytics service.
Where consent is required, Google Analytics cookies will not be activated until you choose to accept analytics cookies through our website's cookie controls.
When you first visit our website, our cookie consent controls are intended to allow you to:
- Accept optional analytics cookies
- Reject optional analytics cookies
- Manage your cookie preferences
Analytics consent is not a requirement for accessing the main content or services available through our website.
If you reject analytics cookies, we will not intentionally activate Google Analytics cookies requiring your consent.
Where you have already accepted analytics cookies, you may subsequently withdraw your consent using the available cookie preference controls.
We do not treat simply continuing to browse our website as consent to optional analytics cookies.
9. Information Processed by Google Analytics
Depending on the configuration of Google Analytics and your browser or device, analytics information may include:
- Pages visited
- Date and time of visits
- Website interactions
- Referring website or traffic source
- Browser information
- Device information
- Operating system
- Approximate geographical location
- General engagement information
- Technical information relating to your visit
Google Analytics may process information such as online identifiers and technical data associated with website visits.
We use analytics information to understand overall website usage and improve the experience provided to visitors.
Google operates Google Analytics and may process information using infrastructure located in different countries.
Our Privacy Policy contains further information about the processing of personal data, third-party service providers, international data transfers and your data protection rights.
10. Third-Party Cookies and Services
A third-party cookie is associated with a service provided by an organisation other than the operator of the website you are visiting.
Our website uses certain third-party services for website functionality, analytics or communications.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is provided by Google and may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about website visits where enabled.
Google processes information in accordance with its applicable privacy and data protection arrangements.
Our website may include a link allowing visitors to contact UK Lift Inspection Services through WhatsApp.
Following this link may take you to WhatsApp or open the WhatsApp application on your device.
WhatsApp is operated independently and may use cookies or similar technologies within its own services.
Simply providing a link to WhatsApp does not necessarily mean WhatsApp cookies are placed on your device by our website.
Other External Services
Our website may contain links to other external websites, including business information, reviews or professional resources.
Where you leave our website and visit another organisation's website, that organisation may use its own cookies and technologies.
We do not control cookies placed independently by external websites.
We recommend reviewing the relevant provider's privacy and cookie information before using third-party services.
11. Advertising and Marketing Cookies
UK Lift Inspection Services does not currently intend to use the website to place advertising or behavioural marketing cookies such as:
- Google Ads remarketing cookies
- Meta or Facebook Pixel tracking cookies
- Cross-site behavioural advertising cookies
- Third-party advertising profiling cookies
- Other technologies designed to track visitors across unrelated websites for targeted advertising
We may use ordinary website analytics to understand general visitor behaviour and website performance, subject to the consent arrangements described in this policy.
If we introduce advertising, remarketing or similar technologies in the future, we will review and update this Cookie Policy and our cookie consent controls as required.
Where the law requires consent for such technologies, they will not be activated until the necessary consent has been obtained.
12. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage optional cookies through the cookie preference controls provided on our website.
Where available, these controls allow you to accept or reject optional cookies and change a previous decision.
You can also manage cookies directly through your web browser.
Most modern browsers allow you to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete individual cookies
- Delete all cookies
- Block cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Manage cookies on a website-by-website basis
- Automatically delete cookies when the browser closes
The exact controls available depend on your browser and device.
Further information about managing cookies can usually be found in your browser's privacy or security settings.
Changing browser settings may affect cookies used by other websites as well as ours.
13. What Happens If You Disable Cookies?
You can reject optional analytics cookies without losing access to the main content and services available through our website.
Rejecting analytics cookies will not prevent you from:
- Viewing our inspection services
- Reading information about LOLER and PUWER inspections
- Accessing our service area information
- Using the main website navigation
- Finding our contact information
- Making an enquiry through available contact methods
If you disable all cookies or browser storage through your browser settings, some essential website functionality may not work as intended.
For example, the website may be unable to remember your cookie preferences, meaning you could be asked to make the same choice again.
Some security or technical features may also be affected where they depend on browser storage.
14. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent
Where we rely on your consent to use analytics cookies or similar technologies, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
You can do this through the website's cookie preference controls, where available.
You may also delete previously stored cookies through your browser settings.
When consent is withdrawn, optional analytics cookies and technologies requiring that consent should no longer be activated for subsequent website activity.
Withdrawing consent does not automatically remove information that was lawfully processed before the withdrawal.
Withdrawal also does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
If you experience difficulties managing your cookie preferences, you can contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.
15. Similar Technologies
The term "cookies" in this policy may also include similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.
These may include:
- Local browser storage
- Session storage
- Website scripts
- Analytics tags
- Browser identifiers
- Other similar storage or access technologies
Some technologies may operate without creating a conventional browser cookie.
Where these technologies store information on or access information from a user's device, we assess their use in accordance with applicable UK privacy and electronic communications requirements.
Where a technology is not strictly necessary and consent is required, we will seek the appropriate consent before activating it.
