1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files or data items placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to site operators.
This policy explains how Sublime Outdoor Living (operated by Steve Toms Construction Ltd) uses cookies and similar browser storage on this website.
2. How We Use Cookies
We currently use only strictly necessary browser local storage to operate this website. We do not use:
- Third-party analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics)
- Advertising or behavioural tracking cookies
- Social media tracking cookies
- Profiling cookies of any kind
Because we use only strictly necessary storage, your consent is not legally required under UK PECR for the items currently in use. We nonetheless present a consent notice as best practice and to give you transparency and control.
3. Strictly Necessary Storage
The following item is set when you visit our website:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sol_cookies_accepted | localStorage | Records your cookie consent preference so the notice does not reappear on every visit | Until you clear your browser's localStorage |
This item is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers or to any third party.
4. Third-Party Cookies
This website does not embed third-party scripts, widgets, or content that would set third-party cookies on your device. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and our consent mechanism adjusted accordingly.
5. Managing Cookies and Local Storage
You can manage and delete cookies and localStorage at any time through your browser settings:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox — Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge — Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Clear browsing data
Please note that clearing your consent preference will cause the cookie notice to reappear on your next visit. Removing strictly necessary storage will not affect your ability to use this website.
6. Future Changes
We may introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies in the future — for example, to help us understand how visitors use our website. If we do so, we will:
- Update this Cookie Policy before any new cookies are deployed
- Update our consent banner to seek your explicit consent for any non-essential cookies
- Provide a clear mechanism to accept or decline each category
