Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the site. We also use localStorage, a similar browser storage mechanism, to remember your cookie consent choice.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use a minimal number of cookies and storage mechanisms, categorised as follows:

• Essential storage — required for the website to function correctly
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use our website (only loaded with your consent)

3. Essential Storage

These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include:

• Cookie consent preference (localStorage: pweb_cookie_consent) — remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies
• Cloudflare Turnstile — security token used on our contact form to prevent spam and bot submissions. This is a functional necessity and does not track your browsing behaviour

4. Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies are only loaded after you explicitly accept cookies via our consent banner.

• Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) — measures page views, session duration, and referral sources. IP anonymisation is enabled, meaning your full IP address is never stored by Google
• We track anonymised events such as outbound link clicks and CTA interactions to improve our website

5. Third-Party Cookies

When you interact with certain features on our website, third-party services may set their own cookies:

• Calendly — when you book a discovery call via our embedded booking widget, Calendly may set cookies according to their own privacy policy
• Google Analytics — as described above, only loaded with your consent

6. Managing Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:

• Cookie consent banner — when you first visit our site, you can accept or decline analytics cookies. Your choice is remembered for future visits
• Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential storage may affect website functionality
• To reset your cookie preferences, clear your browser's localStorage for puglieseweb.com

7. Cookie Consent

In accordance with UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we obtain your consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device.

Analytics cookies are not loaded until you click "Accept" on our cookie consent banner. If you click "Decline" or take no action, only essential storage is used.

8. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Know what cookies we use and why
• Opt out of non-essential cookies at any time
• Request deletion of any personal data collected through cookies

For more information about your data protection rights, see our Privacy Policy. Privacy Policy.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
