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 more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in the following categories:
Essential Cookies (Always Active)
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as navigation, security, and the cookie consent banner itself. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |

ff_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preference to avoid showing the banner on every page | 1 year |
| Session cookies | Maintain basic website functionality during your visit | Session |
Analytics Cookies (Optional — Consent Required)
We may use analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages are most visited, and how we can improve the user experience. These cookies are only set with your explicit consent via our cookie banner.
If analytics tools are enabled, they may include services such as Google Analytics or similar. These tools may set their own cookies. No personal data is shared with third-party analytics providers without your consent.
Important: Analytics cookies are not active until you have accepted them via the cookie banner. If you choose to reject optional cookies, no analytics data will be collected.
| Service | Purpose | Status |

| Analytics (if enabled) | Aggregated, anonymous website usage data to help us improve the site | Optional — consent required |
Form and Session Cookies
When you complete a form on our website (such as the plumbing enquiry form or contact form), temporary session cookies may be used to maintain form state during your session. These expire when you close your browser and do not track you between sessions.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Our website may include embedded content or links from third parties. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.
We use Google Fonts to load premium typography. Google Fonts may make requests to Google's servers; we do not control any cookies set by Google in this context.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner. You can choose to:

- Manage: opens the preferences panel so you can choose individual cookie categories.
You can update your preferences at any time by reloading the page and clearing your ff_cookie_consent cookie, which will trigger the banner to reappear.
