How we use cookies on this website.
Last updated: 25 August 2026
This policy explains how Stratford Pest Control uses cookies and similar technologies on stratfordpestcontrol.co.uk, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They're widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and give site owners information about how their website is used.
We try to keep the cookies on this site to a minimum. The categories below cover the types of cookie you may encounter here; the exact list depends on which tools are active on the site at any given time (for example, whether analytics or advertising tracking is switched on).
These cookies are essential for the website to work — for example, remembering your cookie consent choice, or supporting basic site security. Under UK cookie law (PECR), these don't require your consent, but we tell you about them for transparency.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent preference | Remembers the choice you make in our cookie banner, so we don't ask again unnecessarily | Up to 12 months |
| Session / security cookies | Support core site functionality and protect against malicious activity (for example, on our contact form) | Session, or up to 24 hours |
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, how people find us, and where we can improve — so we can make the site more useful. We only set these with your consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*, _gid) | Collects anonymised statistics on site visits and usage | Up to 2 years |
If we run online advertising (for example, Google Ads), these cookies help us measure how effective it is and avoid showing you irrelevant ads. We only set these with your consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Google Ads conversion tracking | Measures whether visitors who click our adverts go on to contact us or request a quote | Up to 90 days |
Some pages may embed third-party content, such as a Google Map showing our coverage area. These services may set their own cookies once you interact with the embedded content, governed by that provider's own policy.
When you first visit our site, you'll be asked to accept or reject non-essential cookies via our cookie banner. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or by adjusting your browser settings — most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies from individual sites. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
You can find out how to manage cookies in the most popular browsers here: aboutcookies.org.
We may update this policy as the cookies and tools we use change, or as cookie law changes. We'll post any updates on this page with a new revision date.
