Cookie Policy
Last updated: 25 March 2025
This policy explains what cookies UK Home Energy sets, what they do, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember things like your preferences or how you’ve used the site.
Do we set cookies without your consent?
No.When you first visit, we show a cookie banner. We only load analytics cookies if you click “Accept”. If you click “Reject”, no cookies are set at all.
Your consent choice is saved in your browser’s localStorage (which is not a cookie) so we can remember it on future visits.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors with a randomly generated ID | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains session state (e.g. which pages you’ve viewed in this visit) | 2 years |
These cookies are only set if you accept analytics cookies via the banner.
localStorage
We also store one item in your browser’s localStorage (not a cookie):
| Key | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected cookies | Until you clear browser data |
Third-party cookies
If you click an affiliate link (e.g. to Amazon), that site may set its own cookies. We have no control over those — check the retailer’s cookie policy for details.
