Cookie Policy
A clear record of the browser storage used by nwatt.uk and why it is needed.

Your choice comes first
Google Analytics is optional and stays off until you allow it. You can reject it or change your choice through Cookie settings in the footer. The contact form uses a separate, strictly necessary session cookie for security and works without analytics.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website asks a browser to store. Cookies can support essential functions, remember choices or measure use. NWATT uses essential form security and, only with your consent, optional analytics.
Cookies and storage used by nwatt.uk
The cookie is set when the contact form requests its security token. It is first-party, HTTP-only and restricted with SameSite Strict.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| nwatt.analytics-consent.v1 (local storage) | Remembers whether you allowed or rejected analytics. | Up to 180 days | Necessary to remember your privacy choice |
| _ga and _ga_* | Google Analytics identifiers used to distinguish visits and understand website usage. | Configured for 90 days, without renewal on each visit | Optional analytics; only after consent |
| NWATTSESSID | Associates the browser with a server-side security token used to protect the form against cross-site request forgery. | Browser session. The form token is valid for up to one hour. | Strictly necessary |
The cookie value is a session identifier. The enquiry itself is not stored inside that cookie, and the public form does not accept file uploads.
Choosing whether to allow analytics
The banner offers equally accessible choices to allow or reject analytics. The Google tag does not load and no analytics events are sent before you allow it. The essential form-security cookie is used independently to provide the contact service.
Open Cookie settings in the footer to change your choice. Withdrawing consent stops future measurement and removes the accessible Google Analytics cookies set by this site. It does not undo processing that took place while you had given consent. We do not enable advertising personalisation or Google Signals, and we do not send enquiry contents to Analytics.
Your browser controls
You can view, delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking the essential session cookie may prevent the contact form from passing its security check. You can still contact NWATT by email at info@nwatt.uk.
