ConstructPC Ltd

Last updated: 20/06/2026

1. INTRODUCTION

This Cookie Policy explains how ConstructPC Ltd uses cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and similar digital tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our website. This policy operates in strict alignment with our Privacy Policy, master Terms and Conditions, and current UK data protection legislation.

3. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text or data files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you browse a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, ensure core user interfaces load correctly, protect payment transaction sessions, verify user identity, remember custom preferences, and provide generalised, completely anonymised site performance metrics.

4. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

  • a) Strictly Necessary Cookies: Imperative for baseline website functionality, security, and access. These handle core user navigation, site security firewalls, contact form submissions, active shopping cart tracking, and secure checkout processing. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), these do not require prior consent and cannot be disabled through our front-end banner.

  • b) Functional Cookies: These allow the website to remember user-selected configurations, such as your saved cookie preference banner choices or persistent local choices.

  • c) Analytics and Performance Cookies: These provide aggregate, anonymous data on site visitors, popular landing pages, loading speeds, and entry loops. These cookies are restricted and blocked by default, running only if you explicitly choose to accept them.

  • d) Third-Party & Marketing Cookies: These run when interactive embedded content or external integrations are accessed (e.g., viewing an embedded map or video). These are completely blocked by default unless you provide explicit affirmative consent via our cookie banner.

5. SQUARESPACE PLATFORM INTEGRATION

Our website architecture is hosted, managed, and served via the Squarespace platform infrastructure. Squarespace deploys essential cookies to maintain system security, cross-site request forgery protection, shopping basket integrity, card payment processing steps, and server load balancing. We also use trusted third-party functional scripts for secure checkout management, interactive digital form processing, and delivery routing, which may drop independent cookies depending on how you choose to interact with them.

6. MANAGING YOUR COOKIE CONSENT PREFERENCES

When loading our website for the first time, or after a policy clear, a prominent, clear cookie consent banner presents you with immediate, equal options to Accept All Cookies, Decline Non-Essential Cookies, or explicitly Manage Preferences.

In strict compliance with ICO guidelines, all non-essential analytics, functional tracking, and marketing scripts are completely blocked unless you choose to provide unambiguous, explicit consent. You can dynamically change, review, or completely reset these choices at any time by clicking the "Cookie Policy" or "Cookie Preferences" links located in our global website footer.

7. FRONT-END BANNER WORDING

Our operational consent banner displays the following clear text block:

"We use cookies and similar technologies to help this website work properly, improve security, understand site performance and enhance your browsing experience. You can accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences at any time."

8. CONTROLLING COOKIES VIA YOUR BROWSER

In addition to our on-site preference center, you can view, audit, block, or completely wipe historical cookie records directly inside your web browser's native security settings (such as Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox). If you choose to universally block all cookies at a browser level, critical parts of our website—such as digital quotes, contact forms, account portals, and secure basket checkouts—will experience immediate functional failures.

9. SITE ACTIVITY LOG ANALYTICS STATUS

To maximise your data privacy, full system user activity log analytics are currently toggled OFF inside our digital platform settings. If we enable analytics tracking to improve layout optimisation in the future, this policy will be dynamically updated to reflect the specific tracking scripts utilised.

10. SHOP AND TRANSACTIONAL COOKIES

When interacting with our online shop or system upgrade portals, operational cookies are completely mandatory to hold component selections inside your digital basket, verify processing tokens, and secure payment entry. External payment processors (such as Stripe, PayPal, or Klarna) use their own secure tracking cookies to identify and mitigate automated cyber-attacks and fraudulent transaction attempts during checkout.

11. SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS & EMBEDDED CONNECTIONS

Our website includes active links to our commercial social media channels. Clicking these links or interacting with embedded social feeds connects you directly to external servers controlled entirely by those third-party platforms, which will place their own tracking cookies and tracking pixels according to their independent privacy policies.

12. CHANGES TO THIS DOCUMENT

We reserve the right to modify this Cookie Policy at any time to align with new platform updates, shifting web analytics tools, or evolving legal and regulatory frameworks under the UK GDPR and PECR. The most up-to-date version will always remain accessible on our website.
