Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 October 2026
This website is operated by Brunon Rogowski Ltd trading as Sweet Homes Edinburgh (registered in Scotland, company number SC700883). We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how you interact with our website, to provide you with a better experience, and to improve our services.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login details, and browsing behaviour. Cookies are widely used to improve the user experience and allow websites to function properly.
Cookies we use
Three groups of cookies can be set, and only the first is ever set without your permission.
Necessary
| Cookie | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
sh_consent | Remembers the choice you make on the cookie banner, whichever option you choose, so you are not asked again on every visit. | 365 days |
Analytics, only if you allow it
Six route cookies record cleaned page addresses and a broad source category. A separate sh_ad_click cookie can retain advertising click references and campaign tags from the link that brought you here. These cookies are set only if you allow analytics, and the attribution is stored with an enquiry if you send one.
| Cookie | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
sh_entry_path | The first page of this site you landed on. | Up to 30 days |
sh_entry_source | A broad category for where the visit came from, such as a search engine, a campaign link or another website. | Up to 30 days |
sh_first_seen_at | The date and time this browser first arrived. | Up to 30 days |
sh_previous_path | The page you viewed before the current one. | Up to 30 days |
sh_last_money_path | The most recent service page you viewed. | Up to 30 days |
sh_last_path | The most recent page you viewed. | Up to 30 days |
sh_ad_click | The Google Ads click reference and campaign tags from the link that first brought you here, if you came from an advert or tagged link. | Up to 30 days |
With the same permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure website visits, pricing and FAQ headings appearing on screen, enquiry and contact-link clicks, form starts, broad form-error categories and enquiries received by our secure form. These events use fixed labels; we do not send form entries, contact addresses or numbers, uploaded files, filenames, error-message text or enquiry reference numbers to Google Analytics. Section views do not prove that text was read, and contact-link clicks do not prove that a call or email occurred. When analytics is allowed, the advert click reference and campaign tags in the address you land on are also sent to Google Analytics, and nothing else from the address. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies on this website:
_gadistinguishes browsers using a randomly generated analytics identifier. Kept for up to 30 days._ga_*keeps information about a visit for our Google Analytics website stream. Kept for up to 30 days.
We configure these cookies with a 30-day lifetime without extending it on each visit. Analytics stays off until you agree. We ask for an updated analytics choice before enabling this section and action measurement. We use the same consent and analytics cookies; no extra tracking cookies are added.
Rejecting analytics, or withdrawing your consent later, deletes the six enquiry-source cookies and accessible Google Analytics cookies and stops further measurement by this integration. Withdrawal does not remove information already received by Google. You can still use the website and send an enquiry. You can review these categories and manage your choice at any time using the cookie controls in the site footer.
Advertising, only if you allow it
If you tick Advertising on the cookie bar, we load tags from Google Ads, Pinterest and Meta (Facebook and Instagram). They tell each company that you visited this website and whether you sent an enquiry, so we can see which adverts work and show our adverts again to people who have visited. We never send your enquiry, form entries, contact details or uploaded files to them.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_au | Google Ads | Links a visit or enquiry to the advert that led to it. | 90 days |
_fbp | Meta | Identifies this browser to Meta for measuring adverts. | 90 days |
_fbc | Meta | Set only if you arrive from a Facebook or Instagram advert. | 90 days |
_pin_unauth, _epik | Identifies this browser to Pinterest for measuring adverts. | Up to 1 year |
These companies can also set cookies on their own websites, under their own policies. If you reject Advertising, or withdraw it later, none of these tags load from the next page you open, and we delete the cookies above that we can reach. Withdrawing doesn’t remove information the companies have already received.
Third-party cookies
We use advertising cookies only if you allow the Advertising category, as described above. Analytics and Advertising are separate choices; you can allow one without the other.
