This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies drtechnerds.co.uk uses, why, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) do comparable jobs. We group ours into the categories below, matching the choices in our cookie banner.
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working and are always on:
- Basket & checkout — WooCommerce session cookies (e.g.
wp_woocommerce_session_*,woocommerce_cart_hash,woocommerce_items_in_cart) remember what is in your basket while you shop. They expire when your session ends. - Your cookie choice — your consent preference is stored in your browser (local storage key
dtn_consent_v1) so we do not ask on every visit. It stays until you clear your browser data.
Advertising & measurement
With your consent, the Google tag sets cookies (such as _gcl_*) that let us measure whether a Google ad brought you to the site and whether it led to an order. Without your consent these cookies are not set and measurement runs in a cookieless, aggregated mode. See how Google uses cookies.
Analytics
If we enable analytics cookies they are set only with your consent, and only to understand which pages people use and which need fixing.
Managing cookies
Choose or change your preferences any time via “Cookie preferences” in the site footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings — see allaboutcookies.org for how. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop the basket and checkout working.
