Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. This page lists what ev-on.co.uk uses and how to control it.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used: which pages people visit, roughly where visitors are, and how they found us. Google Analytics sets cookies (names beginning _ga) that give your browser an anonymous identifier. We use this data in aggregate to improve the site. It does not tell us who you are.
Analytics stays switched off until you allow it. Google Analytics does not load and sets no cookies unless you choose Accept all on the banner shown on your first visit, or switch Analytics on in Cookie settings. If you leave it off, it never loads at all, and the site works exactly the same either way.
Advertising
We run Google adverts, and we want to know which of them lead to real enquiries so we stop paying for the ones that do not. The Advertising choice controls this. If you allow it, by choosing Accept all or by switching Advertising on in Cookie settings, we tell Google when an enquiry came from one of its adverts. If you leave it off, we still tell Google the enquiry happened but also that you did not agree, so it should not be used for advertising measurement. Advertising stays off until you switch it on.
We do not run advertising or remarketing tags on this site, and we do not show you adverts based on your visit here.
Functional storage
The site itself stores minimal data in your browser to make pages work, such as remembering interface preferences. Nothing in this category tracks you across other websites.
One cookie in this category is always set: evon_consent, which records your Analytics and Advertising choices so we do not ask again on every page. It holds only those two choices and the date, expires after six months, and is the cookie that lets us honour a choice to leave either one off. When you send us an enquiry, your Advertising choice travels with it.
The site also keeps two small first party records in your browser: evon_first_touch (the page you first arrived on and the site that sent you, kept for 90 days) and evon_visit (the pages you read during this visit, cleared when you close the tab). They are not sent to anyone and are not used to track you across other websites. If you send us an enquiry, they travel with it so we know which page answered your question and where you found us. Nothing is linked to you unless you choose to get in touch.
A third record, evon_ad_click, is only created if you reach us by clicking one of our Google adverts. It holds the reference Google adds to that advert link, the time of the click and the page it opened, and is kept for 90 days. If you send us an enquiry, it travels with it, and we use that reference to tell Google the advert led to an enquiry, together with your Advertising choice. That is how we learn which adverts are worth running. This record is kept whatever you choose in the banner. Nothing is sent to Google unless you choose to get in touch.
Third party requests
Some page resources load from third parties: fonts from Google Fonts and images from Cloudinary. These are content requests rather than tracking cookies, though the providers see your IP address as part of serving the files, as with any web request.
How to control cookies
Your choices can be changed at any time. Select , which is also in the footer of every page, switch Analytics or Advertising on or off, and choose Confirm my choices. Switching Analytics off stops it immediately.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site keeps working without analytics cookies. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with Google's opt out tool.
