Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Coppins of Corsham Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on our website www.coppins.co.uk.

By continuing to browse the site, you agree to the use of essential cookies. Non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies) will only be used with your consent.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, improve performance and provide information to website owners.

We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags and scripts. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as “cookies”.

2. Types of cookies we use

We use both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by external services we use).

2.1 Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies used to:

• operate core website features
• ensure security and fraud prevention
• manage cookie consent preferences
• enable contact forms and basic site functions

These cookies do not store personally identifiable information.

2.2 Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. They may track information such as:

• pages visited
• time spent on pages
• links clicked
• device and browser information
• IP address (sometimes anonymised by the provider)

We use the following analytics tools:

Google Analytics
WordPress Stats
Internal website analytics collected directly

These cookies are only used with your consent.

2.3 Advertising and tracking cookies

These cookies are used to measure the performance of our marketing and to help us understand when website visits come from adverts. We use:

Facebook Ads Conversion Tracking (Facebook Pixel)

These cookies may track behaviour across different websites if you have a Facebook or Instagram account. They are only used with your consent.

2.4 Spam protection cookies

We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect our website from spam and automated misuse. reCAPTCHA may collect information such as mouse movements, device details and usage patterns to determine whether a visitor is human. This helps keep our contact forms secure.

This may involve cookies being set by Google.

2.5 Cookies used to display external content

Some pages include external services such as Google Maps. These services may set cookies even if you do not interact with them directly.

Google Maps may collect cookies and usage data to display map content correctly.

3. How long cookies last

Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open (“session cookies”). Others remain until they expire or you delete them (“persistent cookies”).

Cookie lifespans vary depending on the service provider.

4. Managing your cookie choices

You can control and manage cookies in the following ways:

4.1 Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Instructions can be found in your browser’s help menu.

4.2 Cookie consent banner
Where required, our site will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings in your browser.

4.3 Third-party opt-outs
Some providers offer their own opt-out tools, including:
Google Analytics Opt-Out Tool
Facebook Ad Preferences

Please note that blocking cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

5. Third-party cookies

Because third-party services place their own cookies, we recommend reviewing their privacy policies for detailed information:

Google services (Analytics, Maps, reCAPTCHA)
Automattic / WordPress Stats
Meta Platforms (Facebook Pixel)

We cannot control how third-party cookies are used, but we only enable them where necessary and with your consent.
