3. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.

Cookies can store information about your visit and allow a website to recognise your device.

They can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

Making websites function correctly
Maintaining security
Remembering preferences
Understanding how visitors use a website
Measuring website performance
Improving the user experience

Some cookies remain on your device only for the duration of your visit. These are commonly known as session cookies.

Other cookies may remain on your device for a defined period after you leave the website. These are commonly known as persistent cookies.

4. How We Use Cookies

South Wales Renewables uses a limited number of cookies and similar technologies.

We currently use them for two main purposes:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are used where necessary for the website to operate correctly or to remember choices you have made about cookies.

Analytics Cookies

With your permission, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve it.

We do not currently use cookies for behavioural advertising, remarketing or cross-site advertising tracking.

5. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for certain parts of the website to operate correctly.

They may be used for purposes such as:

Website security
Preventing technical problems or misuse
Remembering your cookie preferences
Maintaining essential website functionality
Processing information that you specifically request through the website

These cookies are not used for advertising.

Because these technologies are necessary for the operation of the website or to provide functionality requested by you, they may not require your consent.

Where our cookie preference system stores your selection, a cookie or similar browser storage technology may be used to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies.

This prevents us from asking you to make the same choice every time you visit the website.

6. Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4, commonly referred to as Google Analytics or GA4.

Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors interact with our website.

The information we receive can help us understand things such as:

How many people visit the website
Which pages are most frequently viewed
How visitors arrive at the website
How visitors navigate between pages
How long visitors spend on different areas of the website
General website engagement
Device and browser types
Approximate geographical information
Website performance

We use this information to understand how our website is performing and to identify ways in which we can improve its content, navigation, usability and overall experience.

We do not use Google Analytics to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on individual visitors.

7. Google Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics may place cookies including the following:

_ga

Provider: Google Analytics
Purpose: Used to distinguish website visitors for analytics purposes.
Typical duration: Up to 2 years
Type: Analytics

_ga_<container-id>

Provider: Google Analytics
Purpose: Used to maintain and persist information about a visitor's session for analytics purposes.
Typical duration: Up to 2 years

The exact name of the second cookie includes an identifier associated with the Google Analytics property used by this website.

Cookie names and durations may occasionally change as Google updates its services.

8. Google Analytics and Your Consent

We treat Google Analytics as an optional analytics service.

Where consent is required, Google Analytics cookies will not be activated until you choose to accept analytics cookies through our cookie controls.

When you first visit our website, you may be given options to:

Accept analytics cookies
Reject analytics cookies
Manage your cookie preferences

Rejecting analytics cookies will not prevent you from using the main functionality of the website.

If you reject analytics cookies, we will not intentionally activate Google Analytics cookies requiring your consent.

9. Information Processed by Google Analytics

Depending on the configuration of Google Analytics and your browser or device, analytics information may include:

Pages visited
Time and date of visits
Website interactions
Referring website or source
Browser information
Device information
Operating system
Approximate location
Technical information relating to your visit

Google operates Google Analytics and may process information using infrastructure located in different countries.

Our Privacy Policy contains further information about personal data, third-party service providers and international data transfers.

10. Third Party Cookies

A third-party cookie is a cookie associated with a service provided by an organisation other than the website operator.

Google Analytics is provided by Google.

Where third-party services are used, those organisations may process information in accordance with their own privacy and data protection policies.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party technologies used on our website are appropriate for their intended purpose.

We do not control cookies placed independently by websites you may visit after following an external link from our website.

11. Advertising and Marketing Cookies

South Wales Renewables does not currently use the website to place advertising or behavioural marketing cookies such as:

Google Ads remarketing cookies
Meta or Facebook Pixel tracking
Cross-site behavioural advertising cookies
Third-party advertising profiling cookies

If we introduce advertising, remarketing or similar tracking technologies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and our cookie consent controls as required.

12. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage optional cookies through the cookie controls provided on our website.

Where available, you can change your preferences after making an initial choice.

You can also control cookies through your web browser.

Most modern browsers allow you to:

View stored cookies
Delete individual cookies
Delete all cookies
Block cookies
Block third-party cookies
Control cookies on a website-by-website basis
Automatically delete cookies when the browser closes

The exact controls available depend on the browser and device you use.

13. What Happens If You Disable Cookies?

You can reject optional analytics cookies without losing access to the main content and services available through our website.

If you disable all cookies through your browser, some essential website functionality may not work as intended.

For example, the website may be unable to remember your cookie preferences.

14. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent

Where we rely on your consent to use analytics cookies, you can withdraw that consent.

You can do this using the cookie preference controls provided on the website where available.

You can also delete previously stored cookies through your browser settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

These can include technologies such as:

Local browser storage
