Cookie policy

Last updated: May 2026

This policy explains how WebsiteServers.co.uk uses cookies and similar technologies (local storage, session storage) on glasgow.websiteservers.co.uk, city marketing hostnames, and our client portal.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use local storage for consent and accessibility preferences you set in the bottom-left controls on our website.

How to manage cookies

Use the Cookies button at the bottom-left of the page to accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or choose categories. You can reopen this panel at any time. You may also block cookies in your browser settings; essential cookies are required for login and checkout.

Cookie categories

Essential (always on)

Required for security, WordPress session/login, checkout, and storing your consent choice. Examples:

• WordPress authentication and session cookies
• Cookie consent record (ws_cookie_consent in local storage)

Functional (optional)

Remember preferences that improve your visit. Examples:

• ws_mkt_city — remembers UK city context from campaign links (30 days)
• Accessibility preferences (ws_a11y_prefs in local storage)

Analytics (optional)

If we enable website analytics (e.g. Google Analytics 4 or Plausible), these cookies or scripts load only when you opt in. They help us understand aggregated traffic, not to sell your data.

Marketing (optional)

If we enable advertising or campaign measurement tags in future, they will load only with your consent and be listed here.

Third-party cookies

Stripe checkout, embedded status widgets, or support tools may set their own cookies when you use those features. See their privacy policies for details.

Retention

Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies and local storage entries typically last between 30 days and 12 months depending on purpose, or until you clear them.
