Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Power Team Electrics uses on www.powerteamelectrics.co.uk, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies do not harm your device or contain viruses.
2. Types of Cookies
Cookies can be categorised as follows:
- Essential (strictly necessary) cookies: required for the website to function. They cannot be switched off, as they do not collect personal data.
- Performance / analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors interact with our site so we can improve it. These may collect anonymised data.
- Functionality cookies: remember choices you make (such as your preferences) to provide a more personalised experience.
- Targeting / advertising cookies: used to deliver relevant advertisements and track campaigns.
3. Cookies We Use
We aim to keep our cookie usage minimal. The table below describes the cookies currently in use on our website.
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Essential | Set by Cloudflare to distinguish between humans and bots. Required to protect the site from automated abuse. | 30 minutes |
web3forms_* | Essential | Set by our contact form processor (Web3Forms) to prevent duplicate submissions and spam. No personal data is retained beyond your session. | Session |
We do not currently use any advertising or targeting cookies, nor do we run third-party retargeting campaigns through this website. If we introduce analytics or advertising cookies in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent where required.
4. Your Legal Basis for Cookies
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR:
- Essential cookies do not require your consent because they are strictly necessary for the website to function. We rely on our legitimate interest to operate a secure, functioning website.
- Any non-essential cookies we introduce in the future (e.g. analytics) will only be set after we have obtained your explicit consent via a cookie banner.
5. How to Control and Delete Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies that have been set.
- Delete some or all cookies.
- Block cookies from specific sites or third parties.
- Block all cookies from being set.
Please be aware that blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality. Instructions for the most common browsers:
You can also opt out of analytics cookies across many websites by visiting www.youronlinechoices.eu.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Where our website embeds content or functionality from third-party services (such as our contact form processor), those providers may set their own cookies. We have no direct control over third-party cookies. Please refer to those providers' own privacy and cookie policies for details.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we add new features or services that involve new cookies. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top.
