This policy explains how My New Driveway uses cookies, local storage, pixels and similar browser technologies.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored by a website in your browser. Local storage and session storage are browser features that can hold information needed to continue a form or remember a session. Pixels, scripts and tags can record events or connect the website to an analytics or advertising provider.
Some technologies are necessary for a service you request. Others are optional and may require consent before they are used.
2. Technologies used by this website
Category
Purpose and examples
Typical duration
Strictly necessary
Security, WordPress administration or installer login, form nonces, load protection and remembering a choice required to deliver a feature you requested.
Session to the period required for security or account login.
Estimate local storage
The quote form stores an estimate ID and secure access token in your browser so that progress can be restored and moved from a landing page to the dedicated estimate page.
Until the browser entry is cleared, the estimate becomes unavailable or the website removes it.
Visualiser local storage
The visualiser stores a verified lead/session reference, secure token, name and email so you can continue the visualiser and move between the visualiser and quote form without entering the same details again.
Until you use “different details”, clear site data or the server-side session expires.
Mapping and address tools
Google Maps and Places scripts are used when address suggestions, maps or aerial measurement are displayed. Google may use cookies or similar technologies under its own policies.
Set by Google and dependent on its service and your browser settings.
Analytics
Where enabled, Google Analytics may measure visits, page use and completed enquiries to help improve the website.
Varies by provider and configuration.
Advertising measurement
Where enabled, Meta Pixel and related measurement tools may record page views or lead events and help assess advertising performance.
Varies by provider and configuration.
3. Essential storage
We may use strictly necessary storage without consent where it is essential to transmit a communication, secure the website or provide a feature you have actively requested. Disabling it can prevent login, verification, quote restoration, form handover or the visualiser from working correctly.
4. Third-party services
Third-party services can receive technical information such as your IP address, browser details and the page requested when their scripts or embedded features load. Relevant providers may include Google for Maps, Places and Analytics, and Meta for advertising measurement.
Server-to-server services used for email verification, AI processing, email follow-up and payment handling do not necessarily place a browser cookie, but their processing is explained in the Privacy Policy.
5. How to control cookies and local storage
You can delete or block cookies and local storage through your browser’s privacy or site-data settings. Blocking all storage may stop parts of the estimate, visualiser, maps or installer portal from working.
Where a cookie preference control is displayed, use it to accept, reject or change optional categories. Rejecting optional analytics or advertising technologies should not prevent you from using the core quote service.
You can also use private browsing, clear data for this website or adjust provider-specific privacy settings. Browser instructions are normally found under Privacy, Cookies, Site Data or Tracking Protection.
6. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when a feature or provider changes. Questions about browser storage or cookies can be sent to info@mynewdriveway.co.uk.
