Cookie Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

This policy explains cookies and similar storage used on explerty.com. Cookie choices are managed by the Complianz plugin.

1. Essential storage

Some storage is needed to remember your privacy choices or operate a service you request. Complianz may store your consent status, selected categories and policy identifier. WordPress also uses authentication cookies for administrators who sign in. Ordinary visitors do not need an account.

If you select Add a message on the quick enquiry form, session storage carries your name and email to the contact form within the same browser tab. The details are removed when read, are ignored after 15 minutes, and end with the tab session. This supports the action you requested and is separate from Analytics.

2. Optional services

Google Analytics 4 is an optional analytics service and starts only after you accept Analytics. It measures page visits and interactions, including the fact of a successful enquiry, without receiving the personal details typed into the enquiry form. The Google tag is not requested before permission is given. Background video and images are hosted on explerty.com, and social icons are ordinary links rather than embedded social feeds.

3. Google Analytics cookies

If you accept Analytics, Google may set _ga and _ga_* first-party cookies to distinguish browsers and maintain analytics sessions. They are configured with an expiry of up to 180 days. Browser settings can shorten that duration. These cookies are not needed to read the site or send an enquiry.

Our Google Consent Mode configuration denies analytics storage until permission is granted. Advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalisation remain denied. No Google Ads or remarketing tag is installed.

Cookieless statistics

We also use Plausible Analytics for aggregate website statistics, including page views and successful form completions. It does not set analytics cookies or use persistent browser identifiers, and does not receive the personal details entered in enquiry fields. It operates separately from the optional Google Analytics cookie setting. See our Privacy Policy for details.

4. Your choices

You can accept or refuse optional technologies in the cookie banner and reopen it using “Cookie settings” in the footer. Refusing optional technologies does not prevent you from reading the site or sending an enquiry. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. This may remove saved preferences.

5. Consent preferences

Functional storage is available where necessary. Analytics is optional and is not selected in advance. Use Essential only to refuse it, Accept analytics to allow it, or Preferences to review the Analytics choice. Withdrawing permission disables Google measurement and attempts to remove the site’s Analytics cookies. You can also remove cookies through your browser settings.
