This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on cheshireprivatehire.com, and why. We've kept this deliberately accurate to what the site actually does, rather than a generic template, we don't currently run advertising or analytics cookies.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be "essential" (needed for the site to function) or "non-essential" (e.g. analytics, advertising, personalisation).
| Service | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts | Loads the typefaces used on this site | No cookies set; connects to Google's servers to fetch font files |
| Postcodes.io | Estimates journey distance from the postcodes you enter | No cookies; a simple lookup request, no personal data retained by them |
| Stripe | Processes online card payments securely | Sets cookies on Stripe's own checkout page (not this site) for fraud prevention and payment processing. See Stripe's own cookie policy at stripe.com/cookies-policy |
| Click-to-chat link to our business WhatsApp | No cookies from us; opens WhatsApp directly, governed by WhatsApp's own policies |
We do not currently use Google Analytics, advertising cookies, or any tracking or profiling cookies of our own. If that changes in future, this page will be updated and, where required, a cookie consent banner will be added.
Our booking form uses your browser's own local memory temporarily while you fill it in (e.g. to remember your quote as you complete the form), this is not a persistent cookie and is cleared when you close or navigate away from the page.
Since Stripe's checkout page is the only part of this experience that sets cookies, you can control this through your browser's cookie settings, or by declining non-essential cookies if Stripe's own checkout page prompts you. Blocking essential cookies on Stripe's payment page may prevent you completing an online payment, in which case cash payment on the day remains available.

This policy is a genuine, accurate description of the technologies currently in use on this site, not a generic placeholder. It is not a substitute for independent legal advice.
