Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 20, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Washed Windows ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Please read this cookie policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not access our website.
1. What are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.
Local Storage (localStorage) is a web storage technology that allows websites to store data locally within your browser. Unlike cookies, localStorage data has no expiration time and remains stored until explicitly deleted.
Both cookies and localStorage can be used to enhance your experience, remember your preferences, and provide personalized features.
2. How We Use Local Storage
Our website uses localStorage for the following purposes:
- Quotation System: We use localStorage to store your quotation preferences and selections. This includes information about your property type, number of bedrooms, whether you've selected internal cleaning, and other service options you've chosen. This allows our system to remember your selections as you navigate through the quotation process.
- User Preferences: We store your preferences (such as whether you've selected internal cleaning) to provide a more personalized experience when you return to our website.
- Session Management: We use localStorage to maintain your session information while you use our website.
The information stored in localStorage is only used within your browser and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly submit a quotation request.
3. Cookies We Use
Our website may use the following types of cookies:
3.1. Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You may disable these by changing your browser settings, but this will affect how the website functions.
3.2. Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our website and services.
3.3. Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
4. Specific Information About Our Quotation System
Our quotation system uses localStorage to store the following information:
- Property details (number of bedrooms, property type)
- Selected services (window cleaning, conservatory cleaning, fascia cleaning, guttering cleaning)
- Internal cleaning preferences
- Cleaning schedule preferences (one-off, 4-week, or 8-week)
This information is stored locally on your device and is used to:
- Calculate accurate price quotations based on your selections
- Apply appropriate discounts for 4-week and 8-week cleaning schedules
- Remember your preferences if you return to the quotation page
The information stored in localStorage is not used for tracking or advertising purposes and is not shared with third parties.
5. Managing Cookies and Local Storage
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies and localStorage through their settings. You can:
- Delete all cookies and localStorage data: You can delete all cookies and localStorage data stored on your browser by clearing your browsing data.
- Disable cookies: You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly.
- Clear localStorage: You can clear localStorage data by accessing your browser's developer tools (usually by pressing F12), navigating to the "Application" or "Storage" tab, and clearing the localStorage for our domain.
Please note that if you disable cookies or clear localStorage, our quotation system may not function properly, and you may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit our website.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. You are advised to review this Cookie Policy periodically for any changes.
