Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how SolarCostsUK.co.uk uses cookies and similar technology when you visit the website.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website.
They can help websites operate securely, maintain a temporary session and provide functions requested by the visitor.
Cookies Used by SolarCostsUK
SolarCostsUK only uses cookies or temporary session technology that may be strictly necessary for the operation and security of the website.
These technologies may be used for:
- Normal Joomla website functionality
- Maintaining a temporary and secure browsing session
- Protecting the contact form against forged submissions
- Generating and verifying contact-form security tokens
- Preventing automated spam and misuse
- Supporting essential website-security functions
Contact Form Security
The secure SolarCostsUK contact form uses Joomla session technology to generate and verify a temporary security token.
The form also uses signed timing information, anti-spam fields, server-side validation and submission-rate controls.
These measures are used solely for website security and form operation. They are not used for advertising, behavioural tracking or visitor profiling.
Google Search Console
SolarCostsUK is connected to Google Search Console.
Search Console helps the website operator monitor how the website is indexed and displayed in Google Search and identify technical or indexing issues.
Search Console is not installed on this website as a visitor analytics or advertising tracker and does not require analytics cookies to be placed on visitors’ devices.
Analytics and Advertising Cookies
SolarCostsUK does not currently use Google Analytics, advertising cookies, remarketing cookies or behavioural tracking technology.
If optional analytics or advertising technology is introduced in the future, this policy will be updated and any consent required by law will be obtained before that technology is activated.
Managing Cookies
You can view, delete or block cookies through your browser’s privacy and security settings.
Most browsers allow you to:
- Delete existing cookies
- Block all cookies
- Block cookies from particular websites
- Clear cookies when the browser closes
- Receive a warning before a cookie is stored
Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the website, including the secure contact form, from operating correctly.
How Long Cookies Remain
Temporary Joomla session cookies normally expire when the browsing session ends or after the website’s configured session period.
Cookies may also be deleted manually through your browser settings.
External Websites
SolarCostsUK may contain links to external websites. Those websites are responsible for their own cookies, tracking technologies and privacy practices.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated if the website introduces new technology, additional services or different cookie requirements.
The latest version will be published on this page together with its updated date.
