Cookie Policy
How and why ABL Accounts Ltd uses cookies on this website.
Last updated: 1 April 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded on that page.
Cookies on this website
This website uses strictly necessary cookies at all times, and Google Analytics cookies only if you accept them via the cookie banner. We do not use advertising, retargeting, or social media tracking cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies — Netlify
This website is hosted on Netlify, which uses Cloudflare's network for delivery and security. The following cookies may be set automatically as part of the infrastructure required for the site to operate:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Bot management and abuse prevention, set by Cloudflare on behalf of Netlify | 30 minutes |
_nf_* | Netlify session management and contact form handling | Session |
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function securely. Under UK GDPR and ICO guidance, strictly necessary cookies do not require your prior consent, but we are required to inform you of their use — which this policy does.
Analytics cookies — Google Analytics (optional, only with your consent)
With your consent, given via the cookie banner shown on your first visit, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this website — which pages are read, how people arrive, and general usage patterns. We use this only to improve the site; we do not use it for advertising or to build profiles for marketing purposes.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique visitors for Google Analytics reporting | 2 years |
_ga_* | Persists session state for Google Analytics reporting | 2 years |
These cookies are only set if you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. If you click "Reject", or take no action, Google Analytics does not load and no analytics cookie is set. You can change your choice at any time using "Cookie preferences" in the footer of any page, which clears your previous choice and shows the banner again.
Google may process this data in accordance with its own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Google Fonts — network request, no cookie
This website loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). This is a network request — no cookie is stored on your device — but your IP address, browser type, and operating system are transmitted to Google's servers as part of the HTTP request.
Google may process this data in accordance with its own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. If you wish to prevent this data transmission, you can use a browser extension that blocks Google Fonts requests.
What we do not use
We do not use any of the following on this website:
- Advertising or retargeting cookies (e.g. Google Ads, Facebook Pixel)
- Social media tracking pixels
- Preference or personalisation cookies beyond what is strictly necessary
How to manage cookies
You can accept or reject Google Analytics at any time using "Cookie preferences" in the footer of any page. You can also view, block, and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect how this website works — in particular, the contact form may not function correctly.
