Balham Man and Van Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Balham Man and Van uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our website. By continuing to use our site, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings, as explained below.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies can improve your browsing experience, support website security, and provide insights that help us enhance our services and website performance.

Types of Cookies We Use

Balham Man and Van uses several categories of cookies to operate and improve our website. These include essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. Each category serves a different purpose, as described below.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, key features and functions would not work properly. These cookies enable you to navigate pages, access secure areas, submit forms, and maintain your preferences during a session.

Essential cookies are typically set in response to actions you take on the site, such as requesting a service, moving between pages, or adjusting privacy preferences. Because they are required for the website to function, you cannot turn these cookies off through our site. However, you can block them in your browser settings, though this may cause parts of the site to stop working correctly.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Balham Man and Van website. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, and how they navigate through the site. The data is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify issues, and make improvements to content, layout, and navigation. This performance monitoring ensures that our website remains reliable, fast, and relevant to the needs of our visitors. If you choose to disable analytics cookies, it may limit our ability to understand how our website is used, but it will not affect your ability to browse the site.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. These cookies can help us measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and understand how users respond to our marketing efforts.

The information collected by marketing cookies can be used to build a general profile of your interests, based on pages you have visited or actions you have taken on our website. Marketing cookies may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help ensure adverts are properly displayed. If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see advertising, but it may be less tailored to your preferences.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is an important part of maintaining and improving the Balham Man and Van website. Through analytics and certain functional cookies, we track technical data such as page loading times, error messages, and user interactions with key features. This information helps us identify problems, optimise page speed, and ensure the site is available and responsive.

We also review trends and patterns in how users engage with our content so we can refine our services, improve navigation, and present information in a clearer and more efficient way. All performance monitoring data is used to enhance the overall user experience.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting them. You can usually find these controls in the privacy or security sections of your browser settings.

If you choose to block all cookies, including essential cookies, some parts of the Balham Man and Van website may not function properly or may be unavailable. Adjusting your cookie preferences on one device or browser will not automatically apply to other devices or browsers, so you may need to update your settings separately on each one.

By continuing to use our website after adjusting your cookie settings, you acknowledge that your preferences will apply to your future use of the site, unless you change them again in your browser settings.
