Cookie Policy
Understanding how we use cookies on our website
Last Updated: 26 January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on the Midtherm UV Limited website at midthermuv.co.uk, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We are committed to transparency and protecting your privacy in accordance with UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide a better user experience. Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering information whenever you visit the site or browse from one page to another.
Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate through the website.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
2. How We Use Cookies
At Midtherm UV, we take a privacy-first approach to cookies. We use only essential cookies that are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. We do not use analytics cookies, marketing cookies, or third-party tracking technologies.
2.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of our website. These cookies enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. Essential cookies do not require consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary for the website to function.

Duration: Persistent (stored in browser localStorage until manually cleared)

Cookie Consent Date
Cookie Name: cookieConsentDate
Purpose: Records the date and time when you provided your cookie consent, for compliance and record-keeping purposes.
Duration: Persistent (stored in browser localStorage until manually cleared)

2.2 What We Don't Use
To protect your privacy, we have made the deliberate choice not to use the following types of cookies:
Analytics Cookies
We do not use analytics cookies such as Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, or similar services. We do not track your browsing behavior, page views, or interactions with our website.
Marketing Cookies
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not track you across websites or show you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history.
Third-Party Cookies
We do not allow third-party services to set cookies on our website. All cookies used are first-party cookies set by midthermuv.co.uk only.
Social Media Cookies
We do not embed social media widgets or share buttons that would allow social media platforms to track you on our website.
3. Cookie Consent
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner explaining our use of essential cookies. You have the option to accept or decline cookies.
If you accept: Your consent preference is stored locally in your browser, and you won't see the banner again on future visits (unless you clear your browser data).
If you decline: Your preference is also stored, and the banner will not appear again. The website will continue to function normally.
Essential cookies: Because our cookies are strictly necessary for basic website functionality, they will be used regardless of your consent choice. However, we respect your right to be informed and to manage cookies through your browser settings.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting or amending your web browser controls. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences.

Edge Cookie Settings Guide4.2 Clearing Cookies
You can delete cookies that have already been set on your device. The method for doing this varies depending on your browser and device. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.
Note: If you clear your cookies, you will need to provide your cookie consent again the next time you visit our website, as your previous consent preference will have been deleted.
4.3 Blocking Cookies
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. However, please note that if you block all cookies, some features of our website may not function properly. Since we only use essential cookies, blocking them may affect basic website functionality such as remembering your cookie consent preference.
5. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to store your cookie consent preferences. Local storage is similar to cookies but allows us to store data locally on your device without sending it to our servers with every page request.
What we store: Your cookie consent preference (accepted/declined) and the date/time of consent.
Why we use it: To remember your choice and avoid showing you the cookie banner repeatedly.
How to clear it: You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing your browsing data (similar to clearing cookies).
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
