1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information, keep services secure, improve performance and understand how visitors use the site.

Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags and server logs.

2. How LCR Charity uses cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website working, protect forms, remember basic preferences, understand website performance and improve the experience for people booking collections, requesting devices or contacting the charity.

3. Essential cookies

Essential cookies are needed for the website to function. They may support security, routing, form submissions, admin login sessions, fraud prevention and basic service reliability.

These cookies cannot usually be switched off through our website because the site may not work properly without them.

4. Analytics and performance cookies

We use Google Tag Manager to manage measurement tags. Google Consent Mode v2 sets analytics and advertising storage to denied by default until you accept optional cookies.

If you accept, Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement may process page visits, traffic sources, device details and non-identifying conversion events such as successful quote or booking submissions. If you reject, optional storage remains denied.

5. Functional cookies

Functional cookies may remember preferences such as cookie choices, form progress, display settings or other usability improvements. They help make repeat visits smoother.

6. Third-party services

The website may use or link to Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Maps, Google reviews, PayPal, email delivery tools or social platforms. These providers may process data or set their own cookies when permitted or when you interact with their services.

LCR Charity does not control third-party cookie settings. You should review the privacy and cookie information provided by those services.

7. Managing cookies

You can usually manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the website works, including forms, maps, booking features and admin access.

If a cookie banner is available on the website, you can use it to accept, reject or change non-essential cookie preferences.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, services, analytics tools or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
