1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. They can help a site work, remember preferences or measure visits. Optional analytics and marketing uses require permission where applicable.
2. Cookies currently used
This website uses local browser storage to remember whether you have accepted or rejected optional analytics. This preference is necessary for the consent controls to work and is not used for advertising or to analyse your activity.
| Storage name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
draco_cookie_consent_v1 | Local storage | Remembers whether analytics were accepted or rejected. | Until you change your choice or clear browser storage. |
_ga | Cookie | Distinguishes website visitors after consent. | Up to two years. |
_ga_* | Cookie | Maintains Google Analytics session information after consent. | Up to two years. |
3. Google Analytics
If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to understand how people find and use this website. This may include information about pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, referral source and interactions with the website. We use this information to measure website performance and improve our service.
Google Analytics may set _ga and a cookie beginning with _ga_ to distinguish visitors and maintain session information. Their default duration is up to two years, although browser settings may shorten this period. We have disabled Google advertising signals and advertising personalisation in our website configuration.
Google Analytics is not loaded, and these analytics cookies are not set by Draco, unless you select “Accept analytics”. We rely on your consent for this optional use. You can reject analytics and continue to use the website normally.
4. Changing your choice
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by selecting “Cookie settings” at the bottom of the website. If you withdraw consent, Draco stops further Google Analytics collection and removes the Google Analytics cookies it can access from this website. Withdrawing consent does not retrospectively affect information lawfully collected while consent was active.
5. Other external services
If you follow a link to WhatsApp, Companies House, the Information Commissioner's Office or the Energy Ombudsman, that external service may use its own cookies. Its privacy and cookie information will apply once you leave the Draco website.
6. Browser controls
Your browser settings also let you view, block or delete cookies and website data. Blocking essential storage may stop some websites working properly.
7. Further information
More information about how Google handles data is available in Google's Privacy Policy.
