Cookie Policy for Thamesmead Storage
This Cookie Policy explains how Thamesmead Storage uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. In this policy, references to Thamesmead storage, our storage service, or the website all mean the same online experience provided to visitors. Cookies help us make the site function properly, improve its reliability, and understand how people interact with key pages. We use them in a way that supports a smoother and more secure browsing experience.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain settings, recognise repeat visits, and support core functions. Some cookies are set by us directly, while others may be set by trusted third parties that provide analytics or marketing tools. Cookies do not give us access to your device files, and they are generally used to store limited information relevant to your browsing session or preferences.
Why Thamesmead Storage Uses Cookies
We use cookies to support essential website features, measure performance, and understand which pages are most useful to visitors. For example, cookies may help pages load efficiently, maintain security settings, and record whether a visitor has consented to certain categories. Performance monitoring is an important purpose because it helps us identify technical issues, improve speed, and maintain a consistent user experience across devices.
Types of Cookies We Use
Thamesmead Storage uses three main cookie categories:
- Essential cookies: These are required for the website to operate correctly. They support basic navigation, form submission, security, and page stability. Without these cookies, some features may not work as intended.
- Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the site, including which pages are viewed and how long users stay on them. This information supports website improvement and performance monitoring.
- Marketing cookies: These may be used to deliver more relevant advertising or measure the effectiveness of campaigns. They can also help limit how often you see the same promotional content.
Essential cookies are usually always active because they are necessary for the site to function. Analytics and marketing cookies are typically optional and may depend on the choices you make when visiting the site. In some cases, third-party providers may place these cookies under their own policies, but they remain subject to the consent rules that apply on our website.
User Control Over Cookies
You have control over how non-essential cookies are used. When cookie consent tools are available, you may accept, reject, or customise your preferences by category. You can also change your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time. However, please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how the Thamesmead Storage website works and may limit access to certain features.
Managing Preferences and Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or the cookies used by the site. When we make changes, the revised version will apply from the date it is posted. Continued use of the website after updates may indicate that you have reviewed the latest policy, subject to the controls available for consent.
It is important to review your settings periodically, especially if you use different devices or browsers. Cookie preferences on one browser will not always transfer to another. If you clear your browsing history, some preferences may also be reset. Thamesmead Storage aims to keep cookie use transparent, proportionate, and aligned with the purpose for which each cookie category is intended.
By using the Thamesmead Storage website, you acknowledge that cookies may be used in accordance with this policy and your selected preferences. We use them to maintain essential operations, analyse site performance, and support relevant marketing activity where permitted. This balance helps us provide a dependable, well-functioning online experience.
