Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They are used for things like remembering preferences, keeping you signed in, or tracking how you move between sites.

This page explains what F.W.S Builders do and do not use on this website.

This website sets no advertising cookies and no social media pixels. We do not track you across other websites and we do not build a profile of you.

We use two tools to see which pages people look at and roughly where visitors come from. Both are used for one thing, which is knowing whether the website is doing its job.

Vercel Analytics is cookieless: it stores nothing on your device and does not identify you as an individual. It runs on every visit.

We also count taps on our phone number and email address on our own server, so we can see when the website leads to someone getting in touch. That count records only the page and which button was tapped. It sets no cookie and holds nothing that identifies you.

Google Analytics sets a cookie (named _ga) that tells Google whether a visit is from someone who has been before. We only switch that cookie on if you press Accept on the cookie bar. If you press No thanks, or never answer, Google Analytics stores nothing on your device and only receives anonymous, cookieless counts.

Your choice is remembered for six months. You can change it at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page, and withdrawing consent also clears any Google Analytics cookies already set.

Two pages on this site embed a Google Map showing where we are based. Google is a third party and may set its own cookies if you interact with that map, for example by dragging it or clicking through to Google Maps.

That is outside our control and is governed by Google's own privacy and cookie policies. If you would rather it did not load, simply do not interact with the map.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Every major browser lets you block third-party cookies, clear existing ones, or refuse them entirely.

• Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies
• Safari: Settings, then Privacy
• Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security
• Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions

Blocking cookies will not stop this website working, because nothing on it depends on them.

If we ever add anything else to this website that sets a cookie, we will update this page and ask for your consent before it is switched on.
