Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information that helps us understand how the site is used.

This policy explains which cookies we use on clydesideevents.co.uk, why we use them, and how you can control them.

Strictly necessary — required for the site to function (for example, remembering your cookie choice). These are always active and cannot be disabled.

Analytics — Google Analytics helps us understand which pages are popular and how visitors move around the site, so we can improve it. These are only set once you accept.

Advertising — Google Ads conversion measurement lets us see whether ads led to enquiries. These are only set once you accept.

When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept optional analytics and advertising cookies. We use Google Consent Mode: by default, ad and analytics storage are set to "denied" until you accept.

Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key "clyde-side-cookie-consent". No personal data is transmitted before you consent.

We use Google Analytics (G-VZ5MY84GGL) and Google Ads (AW-16978175145). These services are provided by Google LLC and may transfer data outside the UK/EEA. Google acts as an independent data controller for its own purposes — see Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Our site may also embed content from Google Maps, Facebook and Instagram. These providers may set their own cookies when their content is loaded.

In addition to the banner and the "Manage cookie preferences" button below, most browsers let you block or delete cookies directly. See aboutcookies.org for step-by-step instructions for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works.

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
