About this Cookie Policy

When this policy refers to “we”, “us” or “our”, it means Leigh Plumbing Merchants.
We use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, help keep the website secure, understand how visitors use the website and, where applicable, measure marketing and advertising performance.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device when you visit it. They can allow a website to remember information about your visit, support essential functions and help website owners understand how the site is being used.
Some cookies are placed directly by the website you are visiting. Others may be placed by third-party services used by that website, such as analytics or marketing providers.
How we use cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:
- Providing essential website functionality

We do not use cookies to intentionally collect sensitive personal information through our website.
Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function properly or to provide features you have requested. They may also be used for website security and technical operation. Because they are necessary for the service to work, they may not require consent.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on the site, how they arrived at the website and how they interact with pages.
Where required by law, analytics cookies are only used after you have provided consent through our cookie consent mechanism.
Marketing and advertising cookies
Where applicable, these cookies may help us understand marketing performance or support advertising activity. Where consent is required, these cookies will only be used after you have chosen to allow them.
Cookie list: The exact cookies in use, their providers and available preference controls should be shown in the website's cookie consent tool, because the website configuration may change over time.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website and to improve the website and our marketing.
Google Analytics may collect information such as:
- The pages you visit
- How long you spend on the website
- How you arrived at our website
- The type of device and browser you use
- General geographic information
- Interactions with elements of the website
We use this information primarily in aggregated or statistical form to understand website performance and visitor behaviour.
Where required, Google Analytics will only be activated after you have provided consent through our cookie consent mechanism.
Google may process information collected through Google Analytics on our behalf and may process data in accordance with its own privacy and data protection policies.
Consent and managing your preferences
Where required by law, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
When the cookie consent tool is shown, you can choose whether to allow optional categories of cookies. You can also use the tool to review or change your preferences later.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
Third-party services
Some cookies or similar technologies may be set or controlled by third-party services that support our website, analytics, communications, marketing or advertising activities.
These third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. Some providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure the transfer is lawful in accordance with UK data protection law.
How long cookies remain on your device
Cookies can be temporary or persistent.
- Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them.
The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose and provider. Current details should be available through the website's cookie consent tool and, where relevant, the provider's own information.
Browser controls
Most web browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies or certain browser storage may affect how parts of the website function.
Browser settings operate separately from the cookie consent preferences available on our website.
