1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us improve your browsing experience, remember your preferences, enable secure shopping, and understand how visitors use our site.

2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential / Functional Cookies: Required for the website to operate properly — for example, to keep items in your WooCommerce shopping cart, manage your account login session, and process secure payments. (These cookies are essential for core site functions such as checkout and account access, and therefore cannot be disabled.)

• Analytics & Performance Cookies: Used to collect anonymised data on how visitors interact with our site (e.g. Google Analytics 4). This helps us improve site functionality, speed, and usability.

• Marketing & Advertising Cookies: Enable integrations with third-party services like Facebook (Meta) Pixel, Google Ads, Twitter/X, TikTok, and others. These track visitors across websites to deliver relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness.

• Preference Cookies: Remember choices such as language, currency, or login region, providing a more personalised experience.

3. Third-Party Services & Plugins
Our site may include plugins or embedded content from external providers (for example, WooCommerce extensions, payment gateways such as Stripe or PayPal, and social media integrations). These third parties may set cookies that are beyond our control. We recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie policies for more information.

4. Managing or Refusing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings:

• Browser Controls: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact website functionality, including checkout and account access.

For help managing cookies, visit AboutCookies.org or your browser’s support pages.

5. Data Privacy
Any personal information collected through cookies or forms will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We do not sell or rent your data. Data may be stored or processed within the EU/EEA or other compliant regions under appropriate safeguards.

6. Your Rights
Depending on your location (e.g., under GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA), you may have the right to access, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. Please contact us at enquiries@proguardexteriors.co.uk for any data-related requests.
