1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have previously accepted a consent notice — so that the site can function correctly and provide you with a consistent experience on return visits.
Cookies are not programmes; they cannot execute code, carry viruses, or access information on your device beyond what the issuing website has stored in them. Under UK law, certain types of cookie require your consent before they can be placed on your device. Others, which are strictly necessary for the website to operate, do not require consent.
2. How We Use Cookies
Trondel Letters uses cookies for the following purposes:
-
■
To remember your cookie consent preferences so you are not shown the consent banner on every visit.
-
■
To support the technical performance of the website, including caching, session handling, and delivery of third-party interface libraries.
-
■
Where you have provided consent, to collect aggregated analytics on how visitors interact with the site, enabling us to identify which content is most useful and where the site could be improved.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are set by third-party services, not directly by Trondel Letters. These include content delivery networks, font services, and the Google Maps embed visible on the contact page. Each third party operates under its own privacy and cookie policy, which we cannot control.
We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookie that profiles your behaviour for commercial targeting purposes. If you believe a third-party cookie is being set without your knowledge in connection with this website, please contact us at [email protected].
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page on this website. The preference banner allows you to select from three options:
-
■
Accept All — enables functional, analytics, and performance cookies.
-
■
Accept Partial — enables functional and performance cookies, but not analytics.
-
■
Functional Only — enables only those cookies strictly necessary for the site to operate.
In addition to the on-site preference panel, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a new cookie is about to be placed. Guidance for the most common browsers is available from the browser developer's support pages.
Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this website. Removing the consent preference cookie, for example, will cause the cookie banner to reappear on your next visit.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable legislation, or updates to how we operate this website. When we make material changes, the updated date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of this website following an update to this policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms, subject to your right to withdraw or adjust consent at any time via the Cookie Settings panel.
