Last Updated: [Insert Date]
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site.
This policy details how ShutterLuxe uses cookies and other tracking technologies on our website.
2. Our Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We primarily use **Strictly Necessary Cookies** and utilise a fully privacy-compliant analytics platform that does **not** use cookies.
2.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Exempt from Consent)
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as filling in a form or navigating pages.
- Website Builder (Elementor): Our website is built using the Elementor platform, which may use essential session cookies to ensure the website loads and functions correctly for the duration of your visit.
- Form Functionality (GoHighLevel): When you interact with our embedded contact forms (powered by GoHighLevel), essential session cookies may be used to manage the form submission process and prevent spam (e.g., security tokens).
As these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, we do not require your prior consent to use them under the UK’s PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations).
2.2. Analytics and Tracking (No Cookies Used)
We use **Plausible Analytics** to monitor website traffic and usage. Plausible is a privacy-first analytics tool that **does not use cookies** and does **not** collect any personal data or persistent identifiers. It measures only aggregated, anonymous data (e.g., number of page views, referral source). Since no personal data is collected, no consent or cookie is required.
3. Managing Your Cookies
If you wish to restrict or block the cookies that are set by any website, you can generally do this through your browser settings. The ‘Help’ function within your browser should tell you how. Please be aware that restricting strictly necessary cookies may impact the functionality and performance of our website.
