Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 October 2026
This policy explains how North London Shutters and Blinds Ltd (company number 14172291, registered office 164 West Hendon Broadway, London NW9 7AA) uses cookies and similar technologies on northlondonshuttersandblinds.co.uk. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your computer, tablet or phone. Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking scripts, work in a similar way. In this policy, “cookies” covers all of them. Some cookies are essential for the website to work. Others help us understand how the website is used or measure our advertising, and we only use those if you agree.
Your cookie choices
Statistics and marketing cookies are optional and are switched off until you choose. When you first visit, Accept allows both categories, Reject keeps them off, and Preferences lets you choose each category separately. You can change your mind or withdraw consent at any time using Cookie preferences in the website footer or the button below.
How this website uses cookies and services
Essential: these remember your cookie choices and protect our enquiry forms against spam. The website cannot work properly without them, so they do not need your consent.
Statistics (optional): Google Analytics and Jetpack statistics (provided by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com) show us how many people visit, which pages they view and whether enquiries are sent. This helps us improve the website.
Marketing (optional): Google Ads measures whether our adverts lead to enquiries. The customer review widgets are loaded from Trustindex, an external provider. They stay blocked until you allow marketing cookies.
Google Consent Mode: our website uses Google Consent Mode to pass your choice to Google. If you decline, Google Analytics and Google Ads do not store cookies on your device. Google may still receive basic, cookieless signals, such as that a page was viewed, without identifying you.
Enquiry tracking: when you send an enquiry and have allowed statistics cookies, we record which form was used, the page it was on and, where selected, whether you asked about shutters or blinds. We never send your name, email address, telephone number, message or uploaded files to Google Analytics. Your enquiry itself is handled under our Privacy Policy.
Phone, WhatsApp and social media links: these only open the app or website you choose. Once you are on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest or TikTok, that company’s own privacy and cookie policies apply.
Data shared outside the UK
Google and Automattic may process data in the United States. Where this happens, it is protected by safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
Controlling cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies using your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly and we may not be able to remember your cookie choice. For more information, see the ICO’s guide to cookies.
