Cookie
policy.
Last updated 10 October 2026. No advertising, no analytics and no behavioural tracking — just what's needed to keep our forms working and free of spam.
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the Coastal Fire Systems Ltd website. Please read it alongside our Privacy Notice.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website saves on your device. "Similar technologies" include local storage, which works in a comparable way. Some are essential to make a site work; others are used for things like analytics or advertising.
2. What we use
We don't use any advertising or analytics cookies — no Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar or anything similar. The only items that may be stored on your device are:
| Name | Set by | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
cfs_last_submit(local storage) |
Us | Saves the time of your last contact-form enquiry so the same message isn't sent twice within 90 seconds. It contains a timestamp only — no personal details. | Until you clear it |
| hCaptcha cookies and storage | hCaptcha (hcaptcha.com) | Part of the spam check on our contact and callback forms. Only loads on the contact page, or when you open the callback form. See hCaptcha's privacy policy. | Set by hCaptcha |
3. Why we don't ask for consent
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), websites must ask for consent before using cookies that aren't strictly necessary. Both items above are strictly necessary for the forms you choose to use — one stops duplicate messages and the other protects the forms from spam and abuse — so no consent banner is needed. If we ever add cookies that need your consent, we'll ask first.
4. Third-party content
Our typefaces come from Google Fonts, so your browser fetches font files from Google (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). This shares your IP address with Google but doesn't set any cookies on our site. See our Privacy Notice for more.
5. Managing cookies and storage
You can clear anything stored by this site at any time:
