Cookie statement
This website sets no cookies, and so it shows you no cookie banner. There is nothing for you to accept or reject, which is the point: a banner exists to gather consent for tracking, and there is no tracking here to consent to.
The rest of this page is the detail behind that sentence.
What runs on these pages
| What | What it does | Does it identify you? |
|---|---|---|
| Plausible Analytics | Counts visits and which pages are read. | No. Cookieless by design; the company is based in the EU. |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Checks that the enquiry form is being filled in by a person. Loaded only when you submit it. | No. Sets no cookie and is not used for advertising. |
Fonts and images
The typefaces are served from this website itself rather than from a font network. That matters more than it sounds: a site using a hosted font service tells that service the address of every visitor who loads a page. This one tells nobody.
What is stored on your device
How you arrived at this website — the name of the site that linked here, such as a search engine or Google Maps, the page you landed on, and any campaign tag on that link — is held in your browser's session storage until you close the tab. It is there so that if you send an enquiry, Fran & Lou Painters and Decorators can see which of their listings brought it in. It is not a cookie, it is not readable by any other website, it holds nothing about who you are, and your browser discards it when you close the tab.
If you arrived from a link we sent you directly — in an email, a message or on a printed card — that link carries a reference so Fran & Lou Painters and Decorators can tell the card worked, and it is held the same way and discarded the same way.
Managing it
There is nothing here to opt out of. If you would rather block the analytics beacon anyway, any standard content blocker does so, and the website works exactly as well without it.
