Cookie policy.
This policy explains the cookies used on gcfwindowcleaning.co.uk, what they do and how to change your choice. Read it alongside our privacy policy.

1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files saved on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit a website. This policy also covers similar technology, such as tags that tell us when someone who clicked our ad asks for a quote.
2. How we ask
When you first visit, a banner asks if you accept non-essential cookies. You can choose Accept, Reject or Settings. Nothing non-essential is set until you choose, and rejecting is as easy as accepting.
We remember your choice for 12 months, then ask again.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Lasts | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
gcf_consent | GCF | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner doesn't keep appearing | 12 months | Essential |
_gcl_au | Links a Google ad click to a quote request, so we can see which ads work | 90 days | Consent only | |
_gcl_aw | Stores the ad click ID when you arrive from a Google ad | 90 days | Consent only | |
| Google cookies on google.com and doubleclick.net | Measure ad performance and limit how often you see the same ad | Up to 13 months (set by Google) | Consent only |
4. Google Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode v2. Until you click Accept, Google's advertising and measurement cookies stay switched off.
If you reject, Google receives only basic signals that cannot identify you (for example, that a page loaded). Google may use these to estimate how many enquiries our ads bring in overall.
Google explains how it uses information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
5. Changing your choice
You can change your mind at any time:
- use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page
- clear cookies in your browser settings (the banner will then ask again)
- manage Google ad personalisation at myadcenter.google.com
