Cookie Policy

1. What cookies and storage technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored by a website or third party in your browser. Local storage is a related browser feature that can remember settings on your device. Similar technologies can include pixels, tags and scripts. In this policy, “cookies” is used as a convenient collective term unless a distinction matters.

2. Who is responsible

StrongOrigin Limited trading as Websites In A Day (company number 13580570), whose registered office is 3 Bassfield Manchester Road, Walmersley, Bury, Lancashire, England, BL9 5LY operates this website and determines which technologies are used. Contact start@websitesinaday.com with cookie or privacy questions.

3. Consent and Google Consent Mode

On your first visit, optional categories are disabled. You can accept all, reject non-essential technologies or manage individual categories. Your choice is recorded with a consent version and timestamp.

Google Consent Mode v2 sends denied defaults before any analytics permission. The Google Analytics library is not downloaded unless you allow Analytics. If you later withdraw permission, consent signals are updated to denied for future collection.

4. Essential storage

Essential technologies support requested features and do not require optional consent.

• wiad-consent — local storage used to remember your functional, analytics and marketing choices, the consent-policy version and timestamp. It remains until you clear browser storage or it is replaced by a later choice/version.
• wiad-region — local storage used to remember whether you selected UK or USA pricing. It remains until you clear browser storage or change the setting.
• Security, load-balancing or hosting records may be generated by the hosting platform where strictly necessary to deliver and protect the service. Their duration is controlled by the relevant operational system.

5. Analytics cookies

If you allow Analytics, Google Analytics property G-PWZJ3JK9WN measures how visitors use the site so we can understand page usage and improve navigation and content. Google Analytics may set cookies including:

• _ga — distinguishes visitors for analytics measurement; commonly retained for up to two years unless deleted sooner.
• _ga_PWZJ3JK9WN — maintains session and campaign state for this GA4 property; commonly retained for up to two years unless deleted sooner.

6. Functional and marketing categories

The consent manager includes functional and marketing categories so future optional tools can be controlled properly. At the date above, we do not intentionally deploy a non-essential functional service or advertising/marketing pixel through those categories. We will update this policy and seek appropriate consent before introducing one.

7. Contact and form services

Submitting a form sends the information you enter to the configured form provider, currently FormSubmit, and onward to our email destination. A form submission is an action you request rather than an analytics cookie. The provider may process technical information needed for security and delivery under its own terms.

8. How to change or withdraw your choice

Select “Privacy choices” in the footer at any time. You can also remove cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Blocking essential browser storage may prevent the site from remembering your region or privacy choice, so the banner may reappear.

9. Updates

We review this policy when technologies, providers or legal requirements change. If a change materially affects consent, we may increase the consent version so visitors are asked to choose again.
