What data we collect
When you use the contact form on this website, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your phone number (if provided)
- Your location
- The details of your enquiry
We do not collect any payment data.
Google cookies and advertising
We advertise on Google, and we use Google Analytics to see how the site is performing. Both use cookies on your device — so when you first arrive you are asked whether you agree, and Google is not given permission to store anything unless you accept.
- If you accept: Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads set cookies that measure which pages you visited and whether an advert brought you here.
- If you decline: Google is not given permission to store anything, and any Google cookie already on your device from a previous visit is deleted.
To change your mind later, visit this page with the cookie choice reset and the banner will reappear.
TrafficWisp statistical measurement
We use TrafficWisp solely to produce aggregate statistics that help us improve this website. It records page views, referring pages, scroll depth and interactions such as call, email, WhatsApp, outbound-link, button and form-submission clicks. This information is not used to create advertising profiles or to make decisions about individual visitors.
TrafficWisp sets no analytics cookies. It holds a random identifier in
sessionStorage so page views can be grouped during the current browser session. The
identifier is removed when you opt out and is otherwise cleared by your browser when the session ends.
This choice applies to this browser and can be changed at any time.
Anonymous measurement that needs no cookie
Separately from the above, we count visits using methods that set no cookies, store nothing on your device and cannot identify you. These run whether or not you accept, because there is nothing to consent to:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics — anonymous page-view and referrer counts from our hosting provider.
- Our own counter — an anonymous tally of how the site is used, including how many people tap the call, WhatsApp or email buttons. Each page load gets a random number held in memory only, which is gone the moment the page closes, so it cannot connect two page views to each other. If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal, it switches itself off.
One cookie you will only ever see if you are us
Visiting a special address sets a cookie called
gatw_no_track on that browser, so that our own testing of the site is not counted as
customer interest. It holds the value “1” and nothing else — no identifier —
and is only ever set on a device that deliberately asks for it. If you are a visitor, you will never
be given it.
How we use your data
We use the information you provide solely to:
- Respond to your enquiry
- Arrange a visit or quote
- Follow up on work carried out
We do not sell, share or pass your data to any third party for marketing purposes.
How long we keep your data
Enquiry details are kept for as long as is necessary to complete the work and any follow-up. If you would like your data removed, contact us at contact@jhdsplumbing.co.uk.
Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. This collects anonymous data about page visits and is used only to improve the website. No personally identifiable information is collected via analytics. You can opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out tool.

- Access the personal data we hold about you
