Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how IT Solutions uses cookies and similar technologies on the IT Solutions website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can store on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can be used to make websites work correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a website and, in some cases, provide relevant advertising or other services.

How we use cookies

We aim to use only the cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to operate or that we have a legitimate reason or appropriate consent to use.

The cookies used by this website may fall into the following categories:

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly or to provide a service that you have requested.

They may be used for functions such as:

• maintaining website functionality
• security
• remembering choices that are necessary for the operation of the website
• submitting forms or other requested services

Where cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate, they do not generally require consent.

Analytics cookies

Where analytics services are enabled on the website, these cookies help us understand how visitors use the website.

They may provide information such as:

• which pages are visited
• how visitors arrive at the website
• how long visitors spend on pages
• how visitors interact with the website

Analytics cookies are not necessary for the basic operation of the website. Where required, we will ask for your consent before setting these cookies or using similar non-essential tracking technologies.

Preference cookies

Where used, preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as settings or preferences.

We will only use these where appropriate and in accordance with applicable privacy and cookie requirements.

Cookies used by this website

We do not set any cookies of our own for analytics, advertising or marketing purposes.

This website does not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager or any other analytics or advertising service. Because no analytics or advertising cookies are used, no consent is required for those purposes on this website.

The only non-essential third-party technology currently in use is the interactive map on our Contact page, which is provided by Google Maps. The map does not load automatically when you visit the Contact page. It is only loaded from Google if you choose to load it by clicking "Load interactive map".

If you choose to load the map, the following applies:

• Name: set by Google. We do not set or control these cookies, and individual names have not been listed because they are determined by Google.
• Provider: Google (Google Maps).
• Purpose: displaying the embedded map on our Contact page.
• Type: third-party, functional.
• Approximate duration: determined by Google.
• First-party or third-party: third-party.

Aside from the Google map described above, no non-essential cookies are currently used on this website.

The Google map is not loaded unless you choose to load it. If you would prefer not to load the map, you can use the address and directions link shown on the Contact page instead.

Third-party services

Some features of the website may rely on third-party services.

The Contact page includes an interactive Google Maps map. The Google Maps content does not load automatically when you visit the Contact page.

Instead, a placeholder is displayed and the visitor can choose to click "Load interactive map". Google Maps is only loaded after the visitor makes this choice.

When Google Maps is loaded, Google may use cookies or similar technologies and may receive information such as your IP address and browser information. These technologies are controlled by Google and are subject to Google's own privacy policies and terms.

The "Get Directions" link is provided separately and does not require the interactive map to be loaded.

The typeface used across this website is loaded from Google Fonts. Google states that the Google Fonts API does not set cookies when serving fonts. We do not use Google Fonts for analytics or advertising.

Third-party providers may use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies.

We do not control the cookies or similar technologies used by third-party services.

If we add further third-party features in future, we will provide information about them on this page and, where consent is required, ask for it before those features are enabled.

Cookie consent

This website does not currently use analytics, advertising or marketing cookies, and no cookie consent banner is shown. The only non-essential third-party technology currently in use is the Google map described above, which does not load automatically and is only loaded if you choose to load it.

Where this website uses non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies that require consent, we will provide an appropriate mechanism for visitors to give or refuse consent.

You should be able to make a genuine choice about whether to allow non-essential cookies.

If you give consent, you should also be able to change or withdraw your consent later.

Essential cookies may continue to operate where they are necessary for the website to function or to provide a service you have requested.

Managing cookies

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

• view cookies stored on your device
• delete existing cookies
• block cookies
• block cookies from particular websites
• receive warnings before cookies are stored

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the operation of some websites and features.

Where the website provides a cookie preference or consent mechanism, we recommend using that mechanism to manage your choices.

How long cookies are kept

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others may remain for a longer period.

Where we use non-essential cookies, the cookie information provided by the website should state the relevant retention period or expiry period where this information is available.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies and technologies used on the website or changes to legal requirements.

The latest version will always be published on this page.
