When you visit ABC Vac Sweep, your browser stores small files called cookies. They help us remember who you are, see which parts of the site matter to you, and understand how people use it. This page explains what happens, what you can do about it, and how we'll tell you when things change.
What cookies are and why we set them
A cookie is a tiny text file that sits on your device. When you come back to a site, your browser sends it back to us. That's how a site knows you've been here before — it's how we can greet you by name, or remember that you've already read something.
We set cookies for three reasons: to make the site work the way you expect, to count visitors and see which pages people find most useful, and to recognise when you return. Without them, you'd have to tell us the same things every time.
Which cookies this site sets
We set cookies that remember your preferences — things like whether you've dismissed a notice or chosen a language. These sit on your device and last for up to a year. We also set cookies that let us track how many people visit the site and which pages they spend time on. Those are refreshed each time you visit and cleared when you close your browser.
Some of these cookies are essential: without them, parts of the site won't work as they should. Others are optional — they're there to help us understand our audience, but the site will still function if you turn them off.
Third-party scripts and what they do
We use tools built by other companies to analyse how people move through the site and what they're looking for. These tools set their own cookies on your device. They're bound by their own privacy policies, which you can read on their sites. We don't control what they do with the data they collect, but we only use tools that follow UK data-protection law.
Turning cookies off in your browser
Every browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — lets you control cookies. You can delete them all, block new ones, or allow cookies from some sites and not others. The steps are different in each browser, but they're usually in Settings under Privacy or Security.
Be aware that blocking all cookies may break parts of this site. Some features won't work. If you block cookies from third parties only, the site will still function, but we won't be able to see how many people visit or what they're interested in.
When this notice changes
If we start using new cookies or stop using old ones, we'll update this page. Major changes will prompt a new notice when you next visit. You're welcome to check back here whenever you like — it's always the most current version.
