This Cookie Policy provides a comprehensive explanation of how Jimmys Logistics and Removals Limited ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies, local browser storage, and related tracking technologies on our website (https://www.jimmysremovalsltd.co.uk).
We strictly adhere to the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR. Non-essential analytical and advertising cookies are blocked by default until you grant explicit opt-in consent through our cookie preferences banner.
1. What Are Cookies & Web Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you navigate web pages. They enable the website to recognise your device, preserve your moving quote selections as you navigate between steps, remember your dark mode preference, and deliver an efficient browsing experience.
In addition to HTTP cookies, our website utilises browser sessionStorage and localStorage to safeguard your quote form progress and prevent frustrating data loss if your connection drops.
2. Google Consent Mode v2 Implementation
Our website implements Google Consent Mode v2 as the foundational script in the document <head>. Before any analytical or tracking script executes, default consent parameters for ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization are set to "denied".
Only strictly necessary functional cookies (such as security tokens and theme preferences) operate prior to consent. Analytical cookies remain completely inactive until you choose "Accept All" or configure granular permissions in our consent dialogue.
