Cookie Policy
What this website stores on your device, what each item is for, which items require your consent, and how to change your mind at any point.
Who this policy is from
This website is operated by Solar FX, registered in England and Wales with company number 15818680, registered office 1 Loves Close, Burghfield Common, Reading, RG7 3NE, trading as Solar Fx. The company is the data controller for any personal data collected through this site, as set out in our privacy policy.
The rules that apply
Cookies and similar technologies are governed in the United Kingdom by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, which require your consent before anything non-essential is stored on or read from your device. Where the information involved is personal data, the UK General Data Protection Regulation applies as well. The regulator for both is the Information Commissioner’s Office.
In practice this means two things. Strictly necessary items — the ones without which the site or the enquiry form could not work — may be set without asking. Everything else, analytics included, must wait for you to agree, and refusing must be as easy as agreeing.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website, which the site can read back on a later page or a later visit. The same rules apply to comparable technologies that store or read information on your device, such as local storage entries and tracking pixels, and this policy covers those too.
The categories we use
Strictly necessary
Needed for the website to work and for the enquiry form to be submitted and protected against automated abuse. These are set without asking, because the law permits it where a service you have requested cannot be provided without them. They are not used to build a profile of you.
No consent required
Preference
Remember a choice you have made, including your cookie preferences themselves, so you are not asked again on every page.
Set only once you have expressed a preference
Analytics
Measure how the site is used — which pages are read, where people arrive from, where they give up — so the site can be improved. Nothing in this category loads unless you consent.
Consent required, and refused by default
Advertising
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on this website, and no advertising network is embedded in these pages.
Not used
What is actually set
This site is deliberately light. There is no advertising network embedded in these pages, no social media tracking widget, and no third-party script running before you have made a choice.
| Item | Set by | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent preference | Solar Fx (this website) | Preference | Records whether you accepted or refused non-essential cookies, so the choice is not asked again on every page. | Set only when you make a choice. |
| Form submission protection | Our website host | Strictly necessary | Allows an enquiry form submission to be processed and helps identify automated spam submissions. | Session or short-lived. |
| Analytics identifiers | Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity, where enabled | Analytics | Distinguish one visit from another and record which pages were viewed, so usage can be measured in aggregate. | Loaded only after consent. Not loaded at all if you refuse. |
Exact cookie names and durations for the analytics providers depend on the version of their script in use at the time and are set by those providers rather than by us. The confirmed name-by-name inventory for this installation is [INFORMATION REQUIRED]. We would rather publish that marker than a list copied from somewhere else that does not match what your browser is actually given.
Third parties involved
| Provider | What it does on this site |
|---|---|
| GoDaddy | Hosts this website and serves its pages. Necessary for the site to be served at all. |
| Google Fonts | The typeface used across this site is requested from Google’s font servers when a page loads. That request reveals your IP address to Google as a technical necessity of retrieving the file. No cookie is set by us for it. |
| Google Analytics 4 | Website usage measurement. Configured to load only after consent. |
| Microsoft Clarity | Website usage measurement. Configured to load only after consent. |
Each provider handles the data it receives under its own terms. Where any of them process personal data on our instructions, they do so under a written contract, as described in our privacy policy.
Changing or withdrawing your choice
You can change your mind at any time, and withdrawing consent is as straightforward as giving it. Use the cookie controls on this site to change your preference, or clear this site’s cookies in your browser, which resets the choice and causes you to be asked again.
Every current browser also lets you block or delete cookies for individual sites or for all sites, usually under privacy or site settings, and most offer a setting for blocking third-party cookies specifically. If you block strictly necessary items, parts of this site — the enquiry form in particular — may stop working properly. Blocking analytics has no effect on anything you can see or use.
Refusing non-essential cookies does not stop you using the site, does not change what you are shown, and does not affect any quotation or service you receive from us.
Questions or complaints
Ask us. Telephone 0118 227 7444, or write to Solar FX at 1 Loves Close, Burghfield Common, Reading, RG7 3NE. If you are not satisfied with our answer, our complaints procedure sets out how to escalate it, and you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office through the Information Commissioner’s Office complaints pages.
