Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 November 2026. Unverified operational details are identified below and require confirmation by the business.
1. Scope
This policy applies to bradkinscommercials.co.uk, operated by Bradkins Commercials Limited. Read the Privacy Policy for business identity, personal information and rights. Last updated: 5 November 2026.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on a device. Browser storage and other technologies can also store or access device information. They can support requested services, remember privacy choices, measure site use or support advertising. Session storage normally ends with a session; persistent storage has an expiry. Classification depends on the actual purpose and configuration.
3. What was identified
WordPress, Elementor, GDPR Cookie Compliance 5.2.2 and a Google Maps embed on the Contact page were identified. A Trustindex reviews loader was also observed; its storage and data handling require verification. No external analytics script was identified in the inspected homepage script list; this limited observation does not establish the absence of tracking elsewhere. This was a limited page/script review, not a complete clean-session storage audit before and after consent. Technology names are not verified cookie identifiers. Exact stored names, providers, durations, full data flows and behaviour remain to be confirmed. “Not verified” does not mean no cookies are used.
4. Necessary and optional use
Technologies can be necessary for security, delivering a service you request or remembering privacy choices. Administrative login storage is separate from ordinary visitor browsing. Software being installed does not establish that every cookie it can use is active or necessary. Optional storage/access must be controlled where consent is required. No consent exception has been verified for an unobserved or unaudited configuration.
5. Choices and withdrawal
The observed GDPR Cookie Compliance banner offered Accept and an inline settings link. Meaningful rejection of optional technologies, reopening preferences, withdrawal, choice persistence and the effect on each service have not been fully verified. No consent-manager settings were changed as part of publishing these pages. The business should review these controls; a policy or banner does not prove technical compliance.
6. External services
Google services identified in the review may involve device/request information and storage. Read Google’s privacy information. External social and messaging links have their own policies when visited. A link is different from embedded or automatically loaded content. The table records identified technologies without asserting unobserved cookie names or expiry periods.
7. Browser controls
Your browser lets you inspect and delete cookies and other site data, and block future storage or third-party cookies. Deleting current storage does not stop future storage. Blocking necessary technologies can affect features. Browser controls do not replace the website’s obligation to obtain consent where required.
8. Inventory and changes
The inventory below needs a complete device-storage and consent audit. It should be updated when technologies or their configuration change. Scroll horizontally within the table on small screens; the rest of the policy remains within the page width.
9. Contact
For privacy choices, withdrawal requests or questions, contact Bradkins Commercials Limited, Unit 4, Weston Street, Bolton, Lancashire BL3 2SB; telephone 01204 385777; email accounts@bradkinscommercials.co.uk, or our contact page. We will update this policy when the inventory and controls are verified or change.
