Cookie policy
Cookies set by this website
This website does not set any cookies. Nothing is stored on your device to track you, remember you between visits or show you advertising, so there is no cookie banner and nothing to accept or refuse.
What cookies are, and the law on cookie use
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. Websites use them to keep you signed in, remember settings, measure visits or follow you across sites for advertising. Similar technologies include local storage in the browser and tracking pixels.
In the UK, the use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. The ICO explains the rules in its guide to PECR. Sites must tell visitors what they store and, for anything that is not strictly necessary, ask for consent first.
What we checked on this cookie-free website
We list here each part of the site that could store or read information, and what it actually does.
| Part of the site | Does it set cookies? | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Pages and navigation | No | Pages are delivered as ordinary web pages. The menus work without storing anything. |
| Visitor statistics | No | Lovable's analytics counts page visits, time on page, page speed, errors and clicks without cookies. It stores nothing on your device, does not keep IP addresses and does not identify you. Details are in our privacy policy. |
| Typeface from Google Fonts | No | Your browser downloads the font file from Google's servers. Google receives your IP address as part of that request but sets no cookies here. |
| Quote form | No | With JavaScript on, the form sends your enquiry in the background and shows a confirmation on the page. With JavaScript off, your browser posts the form to Basin (usebasin.com) and shows Basin's confirmation page. Anything Basin stores on its own pages is covered by Basin's policies. |
| Embedded maps, videos and social media | Not used | The site has no embedded content from third parties that would set cookies. |
| Advertising and remarketing | Not used | The site carries no advertising tags or pixels. |
Controlling cookies in your own browser
Although this site sets none, you can control cookies for every site you visit.
- 1
Open your browser settings
Look for the privacy or security section. Each browser names it slightly differently.
- 2
Choose how cookies are handled
You can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or allow them site by site.
- 3
Clear stored cookies
The same section lets you delete cookies already stored, for one site or for all of them.
- 4
Send a privacy signal
Some browsers can send Global Privacy Control, which asks sites not to share or sell your data.
Local storage, pixels and other cookie-like technologies
What the rules cover beyond cookies
PECR applies to any technology that stores information on your device or reads information already stored there. That includes local storage and session storage in the browser, tracking pixels in pages or emails, and device fingerprinting that builds a profile from your browser settings.
A site that avoids cookies but uses one of these to follow you would still need to tell you and, in most cases, ask first.
What this website does with them
This website does not write to local storage or session storage, does not use tracking pixels and does not fingerprint devices. The quote form keeps what you type only in the page itself until you send it. If you close the page before sending, nothing is kept.
Your browser may keep its own cache of pages and images to load the site faster next time. That cache is controlled by your browser, and clearing it removes it.
Cookies on other sites linked from this one
Pages on this site link to official sources such as GOV.UK, HSE, legislation.gov.uk, BSI and CIBSE. When you follow one of those links you leave this site, and the cookie policy of the site you arrive at applies. Some of those sites ask for consent to their own analytics cookies when you first visit.
The same applies to Basin's confirmation page, which you see only if you send the quote form with JavaScript switched off. Basin's own policies explain what it stores on its pages. In the normal case, with JavaScript on, you never leave this site when you send an enquiry.
If our cookie use changes
If we add anything that stores information on your device, such as a booking tool or an advertising tag, we will update this cookie policy first. Where the law requires consent, we will ask for it before anything is stored, and you will be able to change your choice at any time.
Questions about this policy can go to legal@nationalbuildingcompliance.co.uk. You can also read how we handle enquiry details in our privacy policy, and the terms that apply to using the site in our terms of use.
