Last updated: 11 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Sam's Cleaning Services uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
We use cookies to help our website operate correctly, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use our website and improve the services and information we provide.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can perform a variety of functions. For example, they can help a website remember your preferences, enable essential website functionality and provide information about how visitors use a website.
Some cookies remain on your device only while you are visiting the website and are deleted when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies. Other cookies may remain on your device for a specified period and are known as persistent cookies.
2. How We Use Cookies
Sam's Cleaning Services may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- To ensure that our website operates correctly and securely;
- To remember choices and cookie preferences you have made;
- To understand how visitors use our website;
- To measure website traffic and performance;
- To identify which pages and services are most useful to visitors;
- To help us identify and correct technical problems; and
- To improve the content, usability and performance of our website.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly and cannot normally be switched off through our cookie preference controls.
They may be used for purposes such as website security, remembering your privacy and cookie choices, enabling forms to operate correctly and providing other functionality that you have requested.
Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website and its essential functionality, your consent is not normally required for their use.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
We may use analytics and performance cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website.
These cookies may collect information such as:
- The pages you visit;
- How you arrived at our website;
- How long you spend on particular pages;
- Which links or features you use;
- General information about your browser and device; and
- General website usage and performance information.
This information helps us understand how our website is being used and identify ways in which we can improve it.
Analytics and performance cookies that require consent will not be used unless you have chosen to allow them through our cookie consent system.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may be used to provide enhanced website features or remember choices you have made.
Where a functional cookie is not strictly necessary for a service you have requested, it will only be used where the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Third-Party Cookies
Some services or features used by our website may be provided by third parties. These third parties may place cookies or use similar technologies when their services are used.
Where third-party cookies are not strictly necessary, they will only be enabled where you have provided the appropriate consent.
4. Google Analytics
Our website may use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the website.
Google Analytics may use cookies, including cookies with names such as _ga and _ga_<container-id>, to distinguish visitors and collect information about website usage.
The information generated may include information about the pages visited, approximate location, device and browser information, how visitors arrived at the website and how they interact with its pages.
We use this information to analyse website traffic and improve the content, performance and usability of our website.
Google Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary for the website to operate and will therefore only be used where you have given the appropriate consent through our cookie consent system.
5. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit our website, you will be given the opportunity to choose whether to allow non-essential cookies.
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies and, where available, choose which categories of cookies you wish to allow.
Strictly necessary cookies may still be used because they are required for the website to operate correctly or provide functionality that you have requested.
6. Changing Your Cookie Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time.
To review or change your choices, simply click the cookie preferences icon located at the bottom left-hand corner of any page on our website.
This will reopen the cookie preference controls, allowing you to review your current choices and accept or reject the available categories of non-essential cookies.
Changing your preferences will apply to future use of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored on your device may remain until they expire or are removed through your browser settings.
7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- View cookies stored on your device;
- Delete individual cookies;
- Delete all cookies;
- Block cookies from particular websites;
- Block third-party cookies;
- Block all cookies; or
- Configure your browser to delete cookies when it is closed.
Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the operation of some websites. Certain features of our website may not work correctly if cookies that are necessary for those features are disabled or deleted.
8. Consent
Where consent is legally required, we will not intentionally place or use non-essential cookies until you have made your choice through our cookie consent system.
Your consent is voluntary and you can withdraw or change it at any time by clicking the cookie preferences icon at the bottom left-hand corner of any page.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
9. Similar Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, websites may use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags or scripts.
Where these technologies store information on, or access information from, your device, we treat them in accordance with applicable UK privacy and electronic communications requirements.
10. How Long Cookies Are Stored
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on the type and purpose of the cookie.
Session cookies are normally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a specified period unless you delete them earlier.
Third-party services may determine their own cookie retention periods. We periodically review the cookies and similar technologies used by our website to ensure that they remain appropriate.
11. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies or technologies used on our website, changes to our services or changes to applicable legal requirements.
Any updated version will be published on this page and the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy will be changed accordingly.
