Cookies and similar technologies

This page explains the intended cookie and similar-technology approach for the website.

Controlled frontend draft · legal, identity and operational review required before production publication.

Essential technologies

Technologies needed for security, session continuity, cart or checkout operation, accessibility and basic site delivery may operate because the website cannot function safely without them.

Optional technologies

Advertising, personalisation and other non-essential technologies must remain off unless the required consent or another documented lawful basis exists. In the current controlled Phone Guys deployment, self-hosted aggregate visit and performance measurement is off until the visitor enables it; this configuration is still subject to PECR and UK GDPR review before final publication. Withdrawing a choice should be as easy as giving it.

Phone Guys measurement boundary

The current controlled Phone Guys deployment keeps self-hosted aggregate visit and performance measurement off until the visitor enables it. Heatmaps and session recording are separate features and require a separate opt-in. The exact storage/access behaviour, lawful basis, PECR position, notice and preference mechanism must still be reviewed against the deployed collector before this page is approved for final publication.

Commerce and embedded services

Embedded or linked services may set their own technologies under their own notices. The final provider list will be added before any such service is released.

For questions about cookies or a consent choice, contact [email protected]. The operator will maintain a working preference mechanism before optional technologies are enabled.

Release note: The cookie inventory, consent mechanism and provider list are release blockers for optional analytics or marketing tags.
