Cookie Notice
This notice explains what cookies are, which ones we set on csl.vpcloud.uk, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers all personal-information handling.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit. They let the site remember things about your visit — like whether you’re signed in, or a preference you’ve selected — the next time you come back.
Similar technologies (local storage, pixel tags, and browser fingerprinting) work in comparable ways; where we refer to “cookies” in this notice we mean all of them together.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- Keep the site working — for example, remembering that you’re signed in to the admin area.
- Measure how the site is used, so we can improve it (which pages are visited, whether forms submitted successfully).
- Detect and block spam and abusive form submissions.
- Deliver the site faster by caching static assets in your browser.
We do not use cookies to build a personal advertising profile of you, and we do not sell any information collected via cookies to third parties.
Types of cookies we set
Strictly necessary cookies
Required for core site functionality. You can’t opt out of these, because the site would stop working without them.
- wordpress_logged_in_* — set when a member of our team signs in to the admin area. Expires when the session ends.
- wp-settings-* — admin interface preferences. Only set for logged-in staff.
- fluentform_* — form-security tokens that stop spam and CSRF attacks on our enquiry form.
Performance & analytics
Help us understand how the site is used, in aggregate. We do not use these to identify individuals.
- _lscache_vary — LiteSpeed cache variant identifier; makes the site faster for you.
- Google Analytics (if enabled) — the client may enable this at some point. When active, it sets `_ga` and `_ga_*` cookies. You can opt out at any time via Google’s opt-out tool.
Functionality
Remember choices you make on the site (for example, dismissing a banner).
- cookie-notice-dismissed — if you dismiss the cookie banner, we set this so we don’t show it again.
Third-party cookies
Some services embedded on the site — for example Google Maps embeds, YouTube video players, or social share widgets — set their own cookies when their content loads. We don’t control these cookies; refer to the third party’s own cookie policy for details.
Current third-party services on this site:
- Google Fonts — used for typography. Serves fonts from `fonts.googleapis.com` and `fonts.gstatic.com`; sets no cookies.
- WhatsApp click-to-chat links — links only, no cookies until you tap through to WhatsApp itself.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies in your browser settings. Every major browser lets you:
- See what cookies are stored, and delete them.
- Block cookies from particular sites, or from all sites.
- Set the browser to prompt you before accepting any cookie.
Guides for the most common browsers:
If you block cookies, some parts of the site may not work as intended — particularly the admin area and any enquiry forms.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice from time to time — for example, if we add a new third-party service, or if the law changes. The current version is always available at this URL and is dated at the top of the page.
