The basics
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to keep on your phone, tablet or computer. Some cookies make a page work. Others record what you do so that somebody can analyse your visit or show you adverts. Pixels, scripts and similar tools can do the same job, so this policy treats them as cookies too.
Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 governs storing information on your device or reading it. As amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, it asks for your consent unless one of the listed exceptions applies.
How this site is built
No analytics or tracking cookies
Affinity Roofing Andover has no analytics package, no advertising pixel, no retargeting script and no social media tracker on this site. Nothing follows you from page to page to build a picture of your visits. With no cookies of that kind to ask about, the site shows no cookie banner.
Google Search Console shows us how the site appears in Google results. It sets no cookies on your device, because it reports from Google's side using search data rather than data about you.
The typefaces are held on this site's own server, so showing the text does not send a request to a third-party font service. The site also stores nothing in your browser to remember your choices.
Outside services
Features that contact another service
Three features involve a service we do not run. They behave differently, so here is each one.
- The area maps on town pages are drawn with a map library kept on this site. Once a map scrolls into view, it asks Esri (ArcGIS Online) for the map tiles, and Esri receives the usual details of any web request, such as your IP address. The maps use no cookies of their own.
- The Google Business Profile map sits behind a button. Nothing is requested from Google until you press it, and after that Google may set its own cookies under its own policies.
- Links marked Find us on Google open our Google profile in a new tab, where Google's own cookie and privacy terms apply.
If you stay off the area pages, press no map button and follow no outside link, none of these services is contacted.
Forms and messaging
The enquiry form, calls and WhatsApp
The enquiry form appears inside the page but is delivered by our customer-management provider from its own server. Its job is to pass on what you type. Telephone numbers open your phone's dialler, and the WhatsApp buttons open WhatsApp on your device, where WhatsApp's own terms and privacy notice apply from that moment.
What we do with the details you send is set out in our privacy policy.
Your choices
Controlling cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you see the cookies on your device, delete them and block them for chosen sites or for all sites. The controls usually sit under privacy or security in the browser menu. Blocking cookies from a Google map you have chosen to load will not stop the rest of this site from working.
Changes
If this policy changes
Words like cookie, pixel and script describe a mechanism, so this page describes each feature by what it does. If a feature is added that stores or reads information on your device, it will be listed here and, where the rules require it, your consent will be asked for before it runs. Questions about this policy can go to the email address or telephone number at the foot of this page.
