Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and how you can control them. It applies to https://letsgetsocial.co.uk, operated by LGS Creative LTD, Aycliffe Business Park, Heighington Ln, Newton Aycliffe, County Durham DL5 6AH.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They’re widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to tell site owners how their site is being used. Some are essential; others are not, and those need your permission before they’re set.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are needed for the site to function and are set without asking, as the law allows. They don’t track you across other websites.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| lgs_cookie_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so you’re not asked on every page. | 6 months |
| PHPSESSID / wordpress_* | Set by WordPress to keep a session working while you use the site or submit the contact form. | Session |
Analytics — only with your consent
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people find and use the site, so we can improve it. These cookies are not set unless you accept them. If you decline, or ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are placed and no data is sent to Google.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes one visitor from another so visits can be counted. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Keeps track of the current session for Google Analytics 4. | 2 years |
Appointment booking
Our booking form is provided by Google Calendar. It is only loaded when you choose to open it — nothing from Google is loaded, and no Google cookies are set, unless you click to book an appointment. At that point you’re using a service you’ve explicitly asked for, and Google may set its own cookies, governed by Google’s privacy policy.
What we don’t do
- We don’t use advertising or retargeting cookies on this site.
- We don’t sell or share your browsing data with advertisers.
- We host our own fonts, so no request is made to Google for typography.
- We don’t embed social media trackers or a live chat widget.
Changing your mind
You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer. Declining after previously accepting will stop analytics loading on your next page view; you can also clear cookies through your browser to remove any already set.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies through its settings. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of this or other websites working properly. Guidance is available for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.
