Ashfield Gas Ltd — Cookie Policy
Last updated: 24 July 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owner, such as how the site is used.
2. How we use cookies
Our website (https://ashfieldgas.co.uk) uses a small number of cookies, split into the categories below:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session / security cookies | Strictly necessary | Allow the website to function correctly (e.g. basic navigation, form submission, security) | Session (deleted when browser closed) |
_ga | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes unique visitors to help us understand how the site is used | Up to 2 years |
_ga_[container-id] | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state | Up to 2 years |
_gid | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes users for reporting purposes | 24 hours |
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. Analytics cookies are non-essential and are only set with your consent.
3. Your consent
Where we use non-essential cookies, such as analytics cookies, we will ask for your consent via a cookie banner when you first visit our website. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or via your cookie settings if a preference tool is available.
4. Third-party cookies: Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website (e.g. which pages are viewed and how long visitors stay), so that we can improve it. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors to us.
Google acts as an independent data controller/processor for this data. You can find out more about how Google uses data in this context at Google's Privacy & Terms page, and you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Managing and disabling cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block or delete cookies, or to be notified when a website tries to set one. Please note that if you disable strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the website (such as form submission) may not function correctly.

6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal/regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
