Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Hazcott Systems (a trading name of Hazcott Limited) uses them on our website, and how you can control your preferences. By using our website, you agree to the use of essential cookies. Analytics cookies are only used with your explicit consent.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owner.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use two types of cookies on our website:

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They do not collect any personal information and cannot be disabled. They include:

Cookie Purpose Duration
hazcott_cookie_consent Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted/declined) Persistent (localStorage)

Analytics cookies (consent required)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymised data. They are only set if you explicitly accept analytics cookies via our consent banner.

Cookie Purpose Duration
_ga Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users 2 years
_ga_[ID] Google Analytics (GA4) — maintains session state 2 years

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) with the measurement ID G-68C1L17WQK to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve the site and our service.

Google Analytics collects anonymised data including:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • How you arrived at our website (referral source)
  • Your approximate geographic location (country/city level)
  • Device type, browser, and operating system

We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

Important: Google Analytics is loaded only after you explicitly accept cookies via our consent banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and the Google Analytics script is never loaded.

4. Consent-Based Loading

Our website uses a custom-built cookie consent system (not a third-party tool). Here's how it works:

  • When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears
  • You can choose to accept or decline analytics cookies
  • Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage
  • Google Analytics will only load if you click "Accept Cookies"
  • If you decline, no tracking cookies are set

5. How to Withdraw Consent

You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by:

  • Clearing your browser data: Clear cookies and site data for our website. This will reset your consent preference, and the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit.
  • Using browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how some websites function.

6. Third-Party Cookies

We do not use any advertising or marketing cookies. We do not sell or share your data with third parties for advertising purposes. The only third-party cookie service we use is Google Analytics, and only with your consent.

Our contact form is provided by GoHighLevel and may set its own cookies when loaded within an iframe. These are necessary for the form to function and are not used for tracking or advertising.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
