Cookie policy

Last updated: 4 August 2026

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Strata Co Boreholes & Water Systems Ltd (“Strata Co”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://strata-co.uk (“the Website”).

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, telephone or other device when a website is visited.

Cookies can allow a Website to:

recognise a device;
remember preferences;
maintain security;
provide requested functionality;
understand how visitors use the Website; and
support advertising or personalisation where permitted.

Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts and software development kits. References to cookies in this policy include comparable technologies where appropriate.

Cookies may be:

Session cookies, which expire when the browser is closed; or
Persistent cookies, which remain until their stated expiry date or are deleted.

Cookies may also be:

First-party cookies, placed by our Website; or
Third-party cookies, placed by another organisation providing a service through our Website.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the Website to operate, remain secure or remember your privacy choices.

They may support:

Website security;
network management;
page navigation;
enquiry forms;
load balancing;
fraud prevention; and
storage of cookie preferences.

These cookies do not require consent where they satisfy the applicable legal exemption.

They cannot ordinarily be disabled through our consent tool. Blocking them through your browser may prevent parts of the Website from functioning correctly.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies support enhanced features or personalisation, such as remembering settings or enabling certain embedded features.

Where a functional cookie is not strictly necessary, it will only be activated after the relevant consent has been provided.

5. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Subject to your consent, we may use Wix Analytics and Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website.

These technologies may collect:

pages visited;
approximate visit duration;
browser and device type;
general geographic region;
referral source;
Website interactions; and
technical or diagnostic information.

We use this information to measure Website performance, identify problems and improve its content and navigation.

Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary and will remain disabled unless and until you provide the relevant consent.

6. Advertising and Targeting Cookies

We do not currently state that advertising or targeting cookies are active on the Website.

If we introduce Meta Pixel, Google advertising features, remarketing or comparable technologies, we will update:

this Cookie Policy;
our live cookie inventory;
our Privacy Policy where necessary; and
our cookie-consent controls.

Advertising and targeting cookies will not be activated without the consent required by law.

7. Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

The Website may contain maps, videos, social-media content or other material provided by third parties.

Those providers may attempt to place cookies or collect device information.

Where an embedded service uses non-essential cookies, it should remain blocked until the relevant consent has been provided.

The third-party provider’s privacy and cookie terms may also apply when its service is activated.

8. Artificial-Intelligence Tools

We do not currently use an AI chatbot, AI visitor profiling or AI personalisation technology through the Website.

Our internal use of AI-assisted business tools does not, by itself, mean that AI-related cookies are placed on your device.

If we introduce an AI chatbot or another AI-powered Website feature, that service may process information submitted by visitors and may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies.

Before activating such a feature, we will:

assess its privacy and cookie implications;
update this Cookie Policy;
update the Website’s cookie inventory;
identify the relevant provider, purpose and cookie duration;
update our Privacy Policy where personal information will be processed; and
obtain consent before activating non-essential technologies where required.

Any non-essential AI-related Website technology will remain disabled until the appropriate consent has been obtained.

9. Cookie Inventory

The Website’s cookie-preference centre should contain the current cookie inventory, including, where applicable:

cookie name;
provider;
purpose;
category;
duration or expiry; and
whether it is a first-party or third-party cookie.

Because Website and technology providers may change individual technical cookies, the live cookie-preference centre should be treated as the current Website-specific inventory.

Services presently intended to be covered include:

Wix Website-platform cookies;
Wix security and form functionality;
Wix consent-management cookies;
Wix Analytics; and
Google Analytics.

Strictly necessary Wix cookies may operate automatically. Non-essential Wix and Google Analytics cookies require the relevant consent.

10. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit the Website, you should be shown a cookie banner or consent interface allowing you to:

accept non-essential cookies;
reject non-essential cookies; or
manage cookies by category.

Rejecting non-essential cookies should be as straightforward as accepting them.

Non-essential cookies will not be activated merely because you:

continue browsing;
close the cookie banner; or
fail to alter the default settings.

You may change or withdraw your choices at any time through the Cookie Settings link displayed on the Website.

Withdrawing consent will not make earlier processing unlawful, but the relevant non-essential cookies should be prevented from operating in the future and removed where technically supported.

11. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow cookies to be viewed, deleted or blocked through their settings.

Blocking all cookies may affect Website operation because some strictly necessary cookies support security and essential functionality.

Browser controls differ between providers. Please consult the instructions supplied by your browser provider.

12. Google Analytics

Where you provide consent, Google Analytics may place or access identifiers and process information about your use of the Website.

Google may process information outside the United Kingdom. Such processing is subject to Google’s applicable terms and safeguards and our obligations under data-protection law.

Google Analytics will be configured so that it does not operate before analytics consent has been obtained.

Further information about Google’s handling of information is available through Google’s privacy documentation.

13. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

cookies or providers change;
Website functionality changes;
analytics or advertising services are introduced or removed;
AI-powered Website features are introduced; or
applicable legal requirements change.

The current version will be published on the Website with an updated revision date.
