This page explains how the Empire Roofing Bath website uses cookies and similar technology. It sits alongside our privacy policy, which covers the personal information you give us when you get in touch. In the UK, the use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) together with UK data protection law.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Cookies can remember that you have already done something on a site, keep a form working as you move through it, or let a site owner count visits. Similar technology, such as local storage, works in much the same way. Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by a different service whose content appears on the page (third-party cookies).
Cookies that are strictly necessary
The law allows a site to use cookies without asking first when they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for. On this site, that covers:
- cookies our website software sets to keep the site secure and working properly;
- cookies set when someone logs in to manage the site, which ordinary visitors never receive.
These cookies do not track you across other websites and are not used for advertising.
Third-party services on our pages
A few parts of the site load content from other providers. When they do, your browser connects to that provider, which receives your IP address and may set or read its own cookies under its own policy.
- The enquiry form. Our survey and quote form is supplied by our customer records provider and appears inside the page. It may use cookies to keep the form working and to prevent spam submissions.
- Maps. Our area maps display map tiles from OpenStreetMap. Loading a map sends a request for those images to OpenStreetMap's servers.
- WhatsApp. The WhatsApp button opens WhatsApp only when you choose to tap it. From that point, WhatsApp's own terms and privacy policy apply.
- Social media links. Our footer links to our Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube pages. These are plain links: nothing loads from those platforms until you follow one.
Analytics and advertising cookies
At the time of this review, the site uses no advertising cookies and no analytics cookies. If we add analytics later, for example to count visits to each page, we will update this policy first. Since the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 changed PECR, a cookie used only to collect statistics that help improve a site can be set without consent, provided visitors get clear information and a simple, free way to object. Any other non-essential cookie still needs your consent before it is set.
How to control cookies
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Each browser does this a little differently, so look under settings for privacy, site data or cookies. You can usually:
- see which cookies are stored and delete them one by one or all at once;
- block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones;
- block all cookies for a particular site.
If you block every cookie, parts of the site such as the enquiry form may stop working. You can still reach us by phone on 01225 285181 or by email. The Information Commission, which still uses the ICO name, explains more about cookies and your choices on the ICO website.
Changes and contact
We will update this page whenever the cookies or services used on the site change, and show a new review date. If you have a question about cookies on this site, email info@empireroofingbath.co.uk.
This cookie policy is a starting point for a service-area business website. The operator should have it checked by a qualified legal adviser, and confirmed against the live site's actual cookies, before relying on it.
