Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device. They help a site remember information between pages or visits.

Similar technologies include session storage and local storage. These sit in your browser and can remember settings or a work in progress without sending advertising information to other websites.

We use cookies and similar technologies only where they are needed to operate the website, complete a request you have made, keep a signed in session, or remember Visualiser selections on your device.

This website does not currently use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or analytics cookies that measure browsing across the public site.

How we handle personal information more generally is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Some technologies are required for parts of the website to work. They are used only when you use the relevant feature.

These currently include:

• session cookies used by the sign in service when you access a customer account or staff area, so the site can recognise that you are signed in
• an invitation cookie named sm_account_invite, used only on the customer account area to complete a project login invitation you have been sent

These cookies are not used to advertise to you on other websites. If you block all cookies, project login and staff login may not work.

The Visualiser can remember a work in progress on your device. This uses browser storage rather than advertising cookies.

Depending on how you use the Visualiser, this may include:

• session storage for the current colour palette and room selections while you keep the browser tab open
• a pending Visualiser save in session storage or local storage if you choose to keep that preview
• local storage for Visualiser saves linked to a project reference, so a saved room can be shown again on this device

This storage is used to operate the Visualiser, not to advertise to you across other websites.

This website does not currently use analytics cookies, measurement pixels, or similar tracking tools to count visits or build marketing profiles.

If we introduce optional analytics later, we will update this Cookie Policy and will not treat those tools as strictly necessary.

This website includes links to third party services, including Google, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. If you follow those links, the other service may set its own cookies under its own policy.

When you request a quote, the website may look up address suggestions on the server after you enter a postcode. That lookup happens as part of handling your enquiry. It does not place a marketing cookie on your device through this website.

Hosting, email, database and authentication services may also be used to run the website and customer tools. Those services are described in more detail in the Privacy Policy.

How long a cookie or stored setting remains depends on the feature and on your browser.

• Sign in session cookies last while you remain signed in, or until the session ends.
• The account invitation cookie lasts only while that invitation remains valid. It is then removed.
• Visualiser session storage is usually cleared when you close the browser tab.
• Visualiser local storage remains on your device until you clear site data or the browser removes it.

We do not set a separate advertising cookie lifetime because this website does not currently use advertising cookies.

You can control cookies and site data through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete stored data, or ask to be notified before a cookie is stored.

If you clear cookies or site data, a saved Visualiser selection or a signed in session on this device may be removed.

This website does not currently use optional cookies or tracking that would require a cookie consent banner. There is no separate consent pop up to reopen because optional analytics and advertising cookies are not in use.

You can still control cookies and stored site data through your browser settings, as described above. That is the current way to manage what this website can store on your device.

Quote marketing choices are separate. Email or SMS updates are only sent if you choose those options on the quote form. They are not controlled by a cookie banner.

If we later add optional cookies or tracking, we will update this page and provide a clear way to change those choices before those tools are used.

Cookie and site data settings are usually found in your browser menu under privacy, cookies, or site settings. The exact labels vary by browser and device.

You can also use any private or incognito mode your browser offers if you prefer not to keep site data after you close the window.

We may update this Cookie Policy if the website changes. The latest version will be published on this page.
