Cookies

Plant Light Guide uses a small banner with two choices of equal weight: Accept and Reject. Reject is not hidden behind another screen.

What stays off until you accept

Analytics storage is denied by default, using Google's Consent Mode v2 defaults for the UK and the EEA, before any tag would run. If you reject, or if you ignore the banner, analytics storage stays denied.

Accept records that choice in local storage in your browser and updates the consent state to allow analytics storage. This site does not currently load a Google Analytics measurement ID, so accepting does not start a Google Analytics tag. If an ID is added later, it will load only after that consent update, and a rejection already stored in the browser will keep analytics storage denied.

We do not use the banner to turn on advertising cookies. Ad storage stays denied either way.

The choice itself

The site stores your Accept or Reject in the browser's local storage under the key `plg-consent`. That is so we do not ask on every page, and so a rejection is remembered. Clearing site data for plantlightguide.co.uk removes it and the banner returns.

The contact form does not set a tracking cookie. Cloudflare Turnstile, which runs on the contact page only, may use its own cookie to complete the check. That check is there to block automated messages. Cloudflare describes it in their Turnstile documentation.

Essential pieces that are not ads

The pages themselves are static files. There is no account and no shopping basket. Security headers and the content-security policy are server settings, not cookies.

How to change your mind

Clear stored data for this site in your browser, then reload. The banner shows again, with the same two buttons.
