Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how C T Scott Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on ctscott.co.uk, why they are used and how you can manage your choices.

‍

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help websites work properly, remember preferences and provide information about how pages and features are used. Related technologies, including local storage, may serve similar purposes.

‍

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies and related technologies for essential website functionality, recording consent preferences, website security, preventing spam and optional analytics that help improve the website. The website has no online shop and we do not intentionally use cookies for our own advertising or remarketing.

‍

3. Essential technologies

Some cookies or storage technologies are necessary for the site to operate correctly, remember cookie preferences or protect forms from abuse. They may run without optional consent where a legal exemption applies. Any cookies or similar technologies associated with Google reCAPTCHA must be assessed in light of their actual use and the final configuration.

‍

4. Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic sources, popular pages and general website use. We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how people navigate and interact with the site through interaction data, heatmaps and session recordings.

These analytics tools are optional and intended to run only after you accept analytics cookies. You can decline optional analytics cookies and continue to browse the site.

‍

5. Google Analytics

Google Analytics may place these cookies:

• _ga – distinguishes website visitors; typical lifetime up to two years.
• _ga_* – helps maintain session information; typical lifetime up to two years.

The precise cookies and lifetimes depend on configuration and browser restrictions. For details, see the Google Privacy Policy.

‍

6. Microsoft Clarity

Microsoft Clarity may use these cookies:

• _clck – helps recognise visits from the same browser.
• _clsk – groups page views within a session.

Depending on service configuration, Microsoft may also use cookies such as CLID, MUID, MR, SM and ANONCHK on its own domains. The exact cookies depend on implementation and consent. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

‍

7. Google reCAPTCHA

Our general enquiry form uses Google reCAPTCHA to help distinguish genuine submissions from spam or automated activity. It may analyse technical, browser, device and interaction information and may use cookies including _GRECAPTCHA, depending on implementation. For information about Google's processing, see its Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

‍

8. Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit the website, our cookie notice lets you accept, reject or manage optional cookies. Essential technologies may remain active where necessary and permitted by law. Optional analytics cookies will not be activated unless you give the relevant consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie Settings option in the website footer. Withdrawing consent prevents future use of the relevant optional technologies, but does not undo earlier lawful processing.

‍

9. Browser settings

Most web browsers allow you to inspect, block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies or other necessary storage may affect website functionality. Refer to your browser's help section for instructions.

‍

10. External websites

We link to external manufacturer, supplier, Kramp and Polaris-related websites. Those sites may place their own cookies and have separate privacy policies. We do not control the cookies used once you leave our website.

‍

11. Policy changes

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our website technology, services or legal obligations. The latest update date will be shown on this page.
