Cookie Policy

1. Who We Are

Scottish Energy Efficiency is a trading name of Scot Energy Efficiency Ltd (company no. 17408629), registered office 66 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NA. Email: info@scottishenergyefficiency.co.uk · Phone: 0141 230 0198.

This cookie policy should be read alongside our privacy policy, which explains how we handle your personal data more broadly.

2. What Cookies We Use

We use a small number of cookies solely for analytics. We do not use marketing cookies, advertising cookies, social media cookies, or third-party tracking cookies. All cookies are listed in the table below.

The cookie_consent cookie is essential — it remembers your cookie preference so we do not show the banner every time you visit. It is set as soon as you click “Accept all” or “Reject all” and does not require consent under PECR because it is strictly necessary for the functioning of the site.

3. How We Use Analytics Data

Google Analytics 4 collects anonymised, aggregate data about how visitors use our site:

• Which pages are visited most often and how long visitors stay
• How visitors found the site (e.g. search engine, direct, referral)
• Approximate geographic region (country-level, not individual location)
• Whether a visitor submitted a quote form (conversion tracking)

We use this information to improve the website and understand which content is helpful. We do not use analytics data to identify individuals, build marketing profiles, or sell data to third parties. Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC under their privacy framework, and we have configured it to minimise data collection.

4. Consent and Google Consent Mode v2

When you first visit scotlandsolar.uk, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You can choose:

• Accept all — analytics cookies are enabled and Google Analytics begins collecting data.
• Reject all — analytics cookies are disabled. Google Analytics receives only cookieless pings to measure aggregate traffic counts without identifying you.

We use Google Consent Mode v2, which means Google Analytics tags load in a restricted mode by default. No analytics cookies are written and no personalised measurement happens until you click “Accept all”. If you reject, Google receives only a cookieless ping that cannot be used to identify you. The website functions fully either way.

5. How to Change or Withdraw Consent

You can change your cookie preference at any time:

• Clear your browser cookies for scotlandsolar.uk — the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
• Use your browser settings to block or delete specific cookies. All major browsers let you view and manage cookies in the privacy or security settings.
• Use incognito or private browsing mode — cookies are not persisted when you close the window.

6. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Because cookies can process personal data, you have the following rights under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018:

• Right of access — Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you, including analytics data tied to your cookie ID.
• Right to erasure — Request deletion of your data, including removal of your cookie consent record.
• Right to object — Object to analytics processing based on your legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent — Withdraw your cookie consent at any time using the methods above.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@scottishenergyefficiency.co.uk or call 0141 230 0198. We will respond within one calendar month.

7. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle cookies or personal data, please contact us first. If you remain dissatisfied, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO):

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this cookie policy if we change the cookies we use or if legal requirements change. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
