In short: this site sets one strictly necessary cookie to remember the choices you make on the cookie banner. Everything else is optional and only runs if you accept it. We do not use advertising or social-media tracking cookies.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser so that it can recognise you on your next request — for example to remember a choice you made. This policy also covers similar technologies, such as scripts that record how a page is used. It explains which cookies homeenergyquotes.co.uk uses, why, and how to control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
How we ask for your consent
When you first visit, a banner offers Accept All, Reject All and Customize. Nothing optional loads until you choose, and rejecting is as easy as accepting. Your choice is stored in the consent cookie for 6 months, and we keep a record of it for 12 months so that we can show consent was given, as the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations require. You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings icon at the bottom of every page.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are needed for the site to work and to honour your choices. They are always set and do not require consent.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| fazcookie-consent | homeenergyquotes.co.uk (our consent manager) | Records which cookie categories you accepted or rejected, so we can apply your choice on every page and not ask again. | 6 months |
Analytics (optional)
Set only if you accept analytics cookies. They help us understand how the site is used and which campaigns bring visitors here.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| lmg_attr | homeenergyquotes.co.uk | Remembers the page you arrived on, the referring site and any campaign codes in the link you followed, so that if you ask for quotes or check grant eligibility we know which campaign brought you. Read only when you submit one of those forms; otherwise it stays in your browser. | 90 days |
| _ga | Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) | Distinguishes visitors with a random identifier. | 2 years |
| _ga_L04DG1PXX5 | Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) | Keeps track of a browsing session for the same visitor. | 2 years |
Google Tag Manager itself sets no cookies; it is the tool that loads Google Analytics once you have consented. Analytics data is sent to Google’s European collection endpoint. Google’s own information about these cookies is at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
Functional and advertising
We do not use any functional, advertising or social-media cookies, so the banner only offers the two categories above: necessary and analytics. If we ever add a cookie in another category, this page and the banner will be updated first and it will stay off until you accept it.
What we do not do
Our free tools — the savings calculator, the grant checker and the export-rate table — run in your browser and set no cookies. We do not embed videos or interactive maps from other companies, and we do not load fonts or scripts from advertising networks.
Controlling cookies
- On this site: use the cookie settings icon at the bottom of any page to change your choice at any time.
- In your browser: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Blocking the strictly necessary cookie means the banner will ask you again on each visit.
- Google Analytics: Google offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics on every site, at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Changes to this policy
We review the cookies on the site whenever we change how it is built, and update this page before any new cookie is introduced.
