Cookies & Similar Technologies
This notice explains how Technical Electrical Services Ltd may use cookies and similar technologies on this website, the purposes for which they are used and how you can control optional technologies.
Last reviewed: 7 October 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on, or accessed from, your device. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels and other technologies that store or access information on a device.
2. The basic rule
TES will tell visitors about non-essential cookies and obtain consent where required before using them. Continuing to browse the site is not treated as consent to non-essential cookies.
3. Strictly necessary technologies
Some technologies are necessary to provide a service you request or to operate and secure the website. Examples can include WordPress security/session functions, remembering an essential cookie preference and technologies required for the website to function. These may be used where an applicable exemption applies.
4. Optional technologies
Optional technologies may include analytics, embedded maps, video, social media features, translation tools, advertising or other third-party services. These should only be activated where the relevant legal requirements have been met, including consent where required.
5. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, core website functions and essential preferences. | Normally exempt where genuinely necessary. |
| Preferences | Remember choices such as language or display preferences. | Consent where required. |
| Analytics | Measure visits and understand how the website is used so TES can improve it. | Consent where required. |
| Third-party content | Maps, video, social media, translation or other embedded services. | Consent where required. |
6. What is actually active?
The exact technologies used on a live WordPress site can change when plugins, themes or embedded services are added or updated. TES therefore treats the live cookie inventory as something that must be reviewed whenever the website changes. The live site should be scanned before launch and after material plugin or service changes.
7. Managing your choices
Use the Cookie Settings control on the website to review or change optional categories where the consent system is enabled. You can also control cookies through your browser, although blocking necessary cookies may affect website functionality.
8. Third-party providers
Third-party providers may operate their own cookies or similar technologies when their services are used. TES does not control third-party privacy practices. Where appropriate, their privacy information will be linked from the relevant service or consent information.
9. Changes
We may update this notice when the website technologies, third-party services or applicable legal requirements change.
