About cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. They can remember a preference, enable a feature or help a website understand how it is used. Similar technologies include browser session storage and tracking tags.
Under UK rules, storage that is strictly necessary for a service you request may be used without consent. Optional analytics storage requires your consent, which you can refuse or withdraw at any time.
Your choices
Refusing analytics does not prevent you from browsing the website, raising a ticket or sending an enquiry.
Essential cookies and storage
Google Analytics cookies
Google Analytics is provided by Google and is loaded only when the consent cookie contains your analytics choice. It helps us understand page use, site performance and whether important journeys work correctly.
Google Analytics may process an online identifier, truncated or derived IP information, browser and device details, approximate location, referral source, page address and interaction information. Our Google Analytics event and user-level data retention is set to 14 months. Google may process this data outside the UK under its applicable transfer safeguards.
We use consent-first loading, Google’s data redaction options and URL cleaning designed to prevent technical form references and common personal-data query values being sent. We do not enable advertising cookies through this website.
Events we measure
When analytics is allowed, standard measurement can include page views, scroll depth, outbound clicks, site searches and form interactions. We also record these confirmed website outcomes:
- Support ticket submittedA website or chatbot support request was accepted.
- Sales enquiry submittedA quote, backup, recovery or hosting enquiry was accepted.
- Job application submittedAn application was successfully received.
- Abuse report submittedAn abuse report was successfully received.
These events may include a general form name, lead type or submission method. They are not designed to contain your name, email address, telephone number, message, uploaded file or support-ticket reference.
Change or withdraw your choice
Use the “Cookie settings” button in the website footer or the button below to reopen the consent banner. Choosing “Essential only” stops future analytics loading and removes the site’s Google Analytics cookies from your browser. It does not undo processing that lawfully took place before you withdrew consent.
You can also delete or block cookies using your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect authenticated or security-related website functions.
Updates and contact
We review this policy when technologies, providers or legal requirements change. Cookie lifetimes can also be affected by browser settings and provider updates, so your browser’s storage controls show the live expiry information.
For questions, contact support@astley.digital. For information about the personal data associated with website use, read our Privacy Policy.
