1. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies and related storage or access technologies allow a website to remember information about a browser or device, support requested functions and, where enabled, measure how the site is used. UK rules require clear information about these technologies and, in many cases, consent before non-essential technologies are placed or accessed.
This policy describes the categories Fieldlight Solar may use and the choices available to visitors. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy because some analytics or marketing technologies may involve the processing of personal data.
2. Strictly necessary technologies
Necessary technologies support functions that a visitor actively requests or that are essential to deliver the website securely and consistently. This can include remembering privacy choices, maintaining basic session integrity, supporting form behaviour and protecting the site from misuse. These functions are not used to build advertising profiles.
Where a technology is strictly necessary to provide the service requested, consent may not be required, but we still provide information about its purpose.
3. Analytics technologies
Analytics can help us understand matters such as which pages are used most, whether navigation works as intended and where visitors encounter problems. Where analytics storage or access is not covered by an applicable exception, it is treated as optional and requires the appropriate user choice before activation.
Analytics information is used to improve the website and does not change the fixed product prices shown on the site or determine whether an enquiry is accepted.
4. Marketing technologies
Marketing technologies may be used to measure advertising activity or understand whether a campaign led to a website visit. Because these technologies can be more privacy-intrusive and may involve third parties, they are treated as optional unless a specific legal exception applies.
Fieldlight Solar does not require acceptance of marketing technologies in order to view product information or submit a basic enquiry.
5. How consent and choices work
Where consent is required, the website presents a choice that distinguishes necessary operation from optional technologies. Consent must be freely given, specific and informed, and should result from a positive action rather than simply continuing to browse. You can choose necessary-only operation where that option is available.
You may change or withdraw an optional consent choice by clearing stored site preferences in your browser and revisiting the site, or by using any preference control provided on the website. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
6. Typical retention periods
Necessary session technologies may expire when the browser session ends, while a preference record may persist for a longer period so that the site does not repeatedly ask the same question. Optional analytics identifiers, where used, should be retained only for the period needed for the stated measurement purpose and according to the configuration of the relevant provider.
We review retention settings periodically and aim to avoid keeping device identifiers longer than necessary for the purpose for which they were set.
7. Third-party technologies
Some website functions may be provided by specialist service providers. If a third party sets or accesses information on your device for analytics or marketing, its own privacy information may also apply. We assess such providers before use and seek to ensure that optional technologies are not activated before the required choice.
Third parties may change their technical configurations over time, so this policy is reviewed when the website's technology stack or advertising arrangements materially change.
8. Changes and contact
We may update this Cookie Policy when the technologies used on the website or the applicable regulatory guidance changes. For questions about cookie use, contact Ashwood Solar LTD at 130 Havant Road, Hayling Island, PO11 0LJ, by email at [email protected] or by telephone on +441689665672.
