Cookie policy
A short one, because there is not much to tell.
Last updated: 30 September 2026
This page explains exactly what this website stores on your device and what we count when you visit. If anything here is unclear, email hello@redditchconnected.co.uk and we will explain it properly.
The short version
We set three cookies and all three are needed for the site to function. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, retargeting, session recording, or any other third-party tracking. Nothing about your visit is shared with anyone else.
How we count visits
We do want to know which pages people read, so we built our own analytics. They run on our own servers and work without cookies:
- We record the page you looked at, the site you came from (if any), a rough device type (phone, tablet or desktop), and the time.
- To tell one visitor from another we take your IP address and browser, mix them with a secret that changes every day, and store a one-way hash of the result. The original values are never written down.
- Because the secret changes daily, the hash cannot be reversed to find you, and yesterday's visit cannot be linked to today's.
- Nothing is stored on your device, so there is no cookie to consent to.
Even though we are not required to ask, you can still switch it off. Choose Reject all, or turn off Analytics in , and our server will not record your visit at all. We also honour Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals automatically.
The cookies we set
Strictly necessary
Keeps your session alive, protects forms against cross-site request forgery, and remembers this cookie choice itself.
- redditch-connected-session - Keeps your session and secures form submissions. Expires after 2 hours.
- XSRF-TOKEN - Protects forms against cross-site request forgery. Expires after 2 hours.
- rc_consent - Remembers the choice you make here. Expires after 6 months.
Analytics
Our analytics are built in-house and run on our own servers. They set no cookies and store no IP addresses - a visitor is counted using a one-way hash that is thrown away and regenerated every day. Turn this off and we will not count your visit at all.
No cookies are currently set under this category.
Marketing
We do not run any advertising or retargeting on this site, so nothing is set under this category today. It is here so that if we ever do, it is switched off until you say otherwise.
No cookies are currently set under this category.
Changing your mind
Open at any time - the same link sits in the footer of every page. You can also clear cookies for this site in your browser settings, which resets everything and means we will ask again on your next visit.
We will ask again after about six months regardless, so a choice you made a long time ago does not stand forever.
Enquiry forms
Separately from any of the above, if you send us an enquiry through the quote wizard or the contact form we keep what you typed, along with your IP address and browser, so we can reply and so we have a record of the request. That is covered by our privacy policy, not by this page, and it happens only when you choose to send something.
