This policy explains how Discount Storage (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on discount-storage.uk. It is provided in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store information about your preferences or past actions.
We also use localStorage, a similar browser-based storage mechanism that keeps data on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to our servers with each page request, but it serves a similar purpose in remembering your preferences. References to “cookies” in this policy include localStorage unless stated otherwise.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies on this website to:
- Remember when you have dismissed a promotional popup or site alert, so it is not shown again
- Understand how visitors use our website through anonymised analytics data, so we can improve our content and services
- Display an embedded Google Map showing our storage facility location in Bristol
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The table below lists the specific cookies and storage technologies used on this website, what they do, and how long they last.
Strictly Essential (localStorage)
These are necessary for the website to function as you would expect. Under PECR, strictly essential cookies do not require your consent. They do not collect any personally identifiable information.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| popup_dismissed | Remembers that you have closed the promotional popup so it is not shown again during your visit | Persistent (until cleared) |
| alert_dismissed | Remembers that you have dismissed a site-wide alert banner | Persistent (until cleared) |
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand which pages are most popular and how users navigate between pages, so we can improve the experience. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique users and throttle request rates. These cookies do not identify you personally.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier | 2 years |
| _ga_<ID> | Used by Google Analytics 4 to maintain session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes unique visitors over a 24-hour period | 24 hours |
| _gat | Throttles the request rate to Google Analytics to limit data collection on high-traffic sites | 1 minute |
Functional Cookies (Google Maps)
We embed a Google Maps widget on our website to help you find our storage facility in Bristol. When the map loads, Google may set cookies on your device to enable the map to function correctly and to remember your map preferences.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| NID | Used by Google to store user preferences and information when viewing pages with Google Maps | 6 months |
| CONSENT | Stores your cookie consent state for Google services | 2 years |
4. Your Consent
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), we are required to obtain your consent before setting any cookies that are not strictly essential to the functioning of this website.
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Strictly essential cookies (listed above) will always be active as they are required for the site to work.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, or by using the browser settings described in Section 5 below.
5. How to Disable Cookies in Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these in the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. The following links may help you manage your cookie settings:
Please be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website. For example, dismissed popups and alerts may reappear, and embedded maps may not load correctly. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are set by third-party services rather than by us directly. We do not control these cookies and they are subject to the respective third party’s own privacy and cookie policies. The third-party services we use are:
- Google Analytics: Provides anonymised website usage statistics. See Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google Uses Cookies.
- Google Maps: Displays an embedded map of our Bristol storage facility. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties if you would like more information about how they handle your data.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date at the top. We recommend checking this page periodically so that you are aware of any changes.
