Cookie Policy

How and why Purple Cloud Solutions uses cookies on this website.

We use a small number of cookies to keep this website working and, only if you agree, to help us understand how it is used. Essential cookies are always on. Analytics cookies are off unless you choose to accept them.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file that a website stores in your web browser. It can be used to remember your choices or to recognise your browser when you return. Cookies cannot install software on your device.

Your cookie choices

When you first visit, we ask whether you accept all cookies or only essential cookies. Until you choose Accept all, or switch on Analytics cookies in Cookie settings, Google Analytics is not loaded and its cookies are not set.

You can change your mind at any time. Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page, or the button below. If you turn analytics off after previously accepting, we stop sending analytics data and remove the Google Analytics cookies we can reach on this website.

Other browser storage we use without cookies

Some features use your browser's temporary session storage instead of cookies. This is cleared when you close the tab. It stays in your browser and is not used for advertising.

  • Remembering how you arrived (for example the page or campaign link you came from) and which pages you viewed, so we can see where an enquiry came from if you send us one.
  • Holding the latest Google review count for up to an hour so it is not requested again on every page.
  • Making sure an enquiry is only recorded once.

Our website search records the words searched for and the result chosen on our own server, without cookies. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. These are normally found in the Help, Tools or Settings menus. If you block essential cookies, some parts of the website may not work. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using Google's browser add-on.
