This policy explains how the Fuel Safe UK website uses cookies and similar technologies, what each one is for, and how you can control them. We keep this to a minimum: we do not use advertising cookies, and anything that is not essential, such as Google Analytics, is only used if you agree to it.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit it. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in the same way. Some are essential to make a website work, others help website owners understand how their site is used or allow content from other websites to be shown.
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
Essential
These are needed for the website to work and to keep it secure, so they cannot be switched off. They do not identify you personally.
- fsuk-consent (local storage, 12 months): remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask you on every page.
- __cf_bm and cf_clearance (Cloudflare, up to 30 minutes and 12 months): may be set by our website host, Cloudflare, to tell people apart from automated bots and protect the site from attacks.
Third-party content
Our contact page can show a Google Map of our workshop. Google Maps sets its own cookies, so the map only loads if you allow third-party content in your cookie settings, or click “Show map” on the contact page. Google’s use of this information is covered by Google’s privacy policy.
Analytics
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how people find us, so we can improve it. These cookies are only set if you accept analytics cookies.
- _ga (Google Analytics, 2 years): distinguishes one visitor from another.
- _ga_FYRLVK628M (Google Analytics, 2 years): keeps track of your visit (session).
Google processes this information on our behalf. Find out more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services. If you decline, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics do not load at all.
Advertising
We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not use Google Analytics for advertising.
Changing your choices
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page, or the button at the top of this page.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the website working. Find out how in your browser’s help pages:
