5. Cookies
5.1 Technical or functional cookies
Some cookies ensure that certain parts of the website work properly and that your user preferences remain known. By placing functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This way, you do not need to repeatedly enter the same information when visiting our website. We may place these cookies without your consent.
5.2 Statistics cookies
We use statistics cookies to optimise the website experience for our users. With these statistics cookies we get insights in the usage of our website. We ask your permission to place statistics cookies.
With the same permission, we remember for 90 days the page you first arrived on, the website that sent you, and any campaign tags in the link you followed. This is kept in your browser under the name powergy-attribution-v1. If you then send us an enquiry, it goes with your enquiry so we can see which of our pages and adverts help people find us. Withdrawing your permission deletes it.
5.3 Advertising cookies
On this website we use advertising cookies, enabling us to gain insights into the campaign results. This happens based on a profile we create based on your behaviour on https://powergy.co.uk. With these cookies you, as website visitor, are linked to a unique ID. Meta uses them to measure our adverts and may use them to show you our adverts on Facebook and Instagram. Because these cookies are marked as tracking cookies, we ask your permission to place these.
5.4 Marketing/Tracking cookies
Marketing/Tracking cookies are cookies or any other form of local storage, used to create user profiles to display advertising or to track the user on this website or across several websites for similar marketing purposes.
5.5 Social media
We do not embed social media posts or share buttons. Links to our social media pages take you to those websites, which use their own cookies.
6. Placed cookies
Google Analytics and the Meta pixel load only after you allow Statistics or Marketing.

|---|---|---|---|---|

If you allow Marketing, Google Analytics may also share data with Google’s advertising services.
One service sets no cookies on our website but does connect your browser to Google. Google Maps address lookup runs on our quote form and savings calculator, so Google sees your IP address while you use it. Google may use its own cookies on its own websites.
Privacy statements: Google and Meta.
7. Consent
When you first visit, we ask which cookies you allow. Google Analytics and Meta’s advertising tag don’t load until you choose. The Google Maps address lookup on our quote form and calculator is separate: see section 6. We keep your choice for 12 months, then ask again. You can change it at any time through Cookie Settings at the foot of every page. Turning a category off also deletes the cookies it set.
8. Enabling/disabling and deleting cookies
You can use your internet browser to automatically or manually delete cookies. You can also specify that certain cookies may not be placed. Another option is to change the settings of your internet browser so that you receive a message each time a cookie is placed.

Please note that our website may not work properly if all cookies are disabled. If you do delete the cookies in your browser, they will be placed again after your consent when you visit our website again.
