This page explains what cookies this site uses and how to control them. This site is operated by Elite Exterior Cleaning Ltd, based in Bolton, Greater Manchester. We try to use as few cookies as possible.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files saved on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make sites work, remember preferences, and sometimes track behaviour for analytics or advertising.

Essential cookies (no consent required)

These cookies are required for the site to function. They do not track you and we do not ask consent for them under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

Session cookies, keep your form data while you complete a quote request
Admin login cookie (ejs_admin), only set if you log into the admin area

Analytics cookies (consent required)

We may use anonymised analytics to understand how people use the site. These only run if you give explicit consent.

Google Analytics 4, page views, traffic sources, popular pages. Anonymised IP. Data retained for 14 months.

Advertising cookies (consent required)

We advertise on Google. These cookies tell us which adverts lead to real enquiries, so we are not paying for adverts that do not work. They only run if you accept.

Google Ads (_gcl_aw and related), records that you arrived from one of our adverts and whether you then called, messaged us on WhatsApp or sent a quote request. Also used to show our adverts to people who have visited before.
Google call tracking, if you arrive from one of our adverts, the phone number shown on the site is replaced with a Google forwarding number. It rings straight through to us as normal, and it lets us see which adverts produce phone calls. Visitors who do not come from an advert always see our real number.

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone other than the providers listed here.
