Cookie policy
Last updated 26 September 2026
This policy explains the cookies used on chromeobjects.com, the website of Chrome Objects Ltd. It sits alongside our privacy policy, which covers how we handle personal data more generally.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work at all. Others help the owner understand how the site is used or measure advertising. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), a website may set the first kind without asking, but needs your consent for the rest.
How we ask
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and advertising cookies. Accept and Reject are equal choices. Until you click Accept, only the essential cookies below are set.
We use Google Consent Mode v2 with every setting defaulted to denied. That means Google Analytics, Google Ads and the Meta pixel are not loaded at all until you accept. If you reject, they are never loaded.
We remember your choice in a cookie called co_consent, so we do not ask on every page. You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page.
The cookies we use
Essential cookies
These are needed for the website to work and to keep it secure. They do not track you across other websites, and they are set without asking.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| chrome-objects-session | Keeps your visit together as you move between pages, for example so a form can show you what went wrong and keep what you typed. | Two hours from your last visit | Essential, first party |
| XSRF-TOKEN | A security token that proves a form was sent from our website, protecting you against cross-site request forgery. | Two hours from your last visit | Essential, first party |
| co_consent | Remembers whether you accepted all cookies or essential cookies only. | 6 months | Essential, first party |
People who sign in to our admin system also receive cookies that keep them signed in and support two-factor authentication. These are only set for staff accounts and never for visitors to the public site.
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages people visit, how they arrive and where the site could work better. The information is grouped and we do not use it to identify you.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics: tells one visitor apart from another. | Two years | Analytics, first party, set by Google |
| _ga_(measurement ID) | Google Analytics: keeps track of your current session. | Two years | Analytics, first party, set by Google |
Advertising cookies (only with your consent)
We use Google Ads and the Meta pixel to measure whether our adverts lead to enquiries, and to show our adverts to people who have visited the site.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads: links a visit to the advert that led to it, so we can measure conversions. | 90 days | Advertising, first party, set by Google |
| _fbp | Meta pixel: measures visits from Facebook and Instagram adverts and helps show our adverts to past visitors. | 90 days | Advertising, first party, set by Meta |
Google and Meta may also set cookies on their own domains if you are signed in to their services. Those are covered by their own policies: Google and Meta.
The exact names and durations of third-party cookies are set by Google and Meta and can change. We review this list when we change our tags. [CONFIRM: cookie list against a live scan before launch]
Videos
Some pages can show a video hosted on YouTube. The YouTube player is only loaded when you click to play it. Once it loads, YouTube may set its own cookies, under Google's policies. [CONFIRM: whether videos use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode]
Changing your choice
You can change your cookie choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in our footer. If you withdraw consent, we stop loading analytics and advertising tags from that point. Cookies they have already set stay in your browser until they expire or you clear them.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, some parts of the site, such as our forms, may not work.
