Cookie Policy

Last updated: 10 September 2026

Lady Techy is a sole-trader in-home technology support business based in Reading, Berkshire, UK. Our website is ladytechy.com.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, recognise your device, or understand how the website is being used.

We may also use similar technologies, such as tracking pixels, scripts, tags and local storage. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies” unless we say otherwise.

Your consent

We only set non-essential cookies after you have actively given your consent through our cookie banner.

Non-essential cookies include:

• Analytics cookies;
• Advertising cookies;
• Remarketing cookies; and
• Certain cookies or tracking technologies used by embedded third-party content.

You can refuse these cookies through the cookie banner. Refusing them will not prevent you from using the main parts of our website.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are essential for the website or a service you have requested to work properly. We do not use the fact that you visit our website as consent to non-essential cookies.

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is intended to comply with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

The types of cookies we use

1. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for the website to operate and for basic features to work. They may include cookies that:

• Remember your cookie choices;
• Help maintain website security;
• Support page loading and basic website functions; or
• Enable a service that you have specifically requested.

These cookies cannot normally be switched off through our cookie settings because the website may not work properly without them.

2. Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited and whether visitors experience problems.

We use:

• Google Analytics; and
• Google Tag Manager.

Google Tag Manager is a tool used to manage website tags and scripts. It may not set a cookie by itself, but it can be used to place or activate other tags, including analytics or advertising tags.

We use analytics information to improve the website and make it clearer, easier to use and more helpful. Analytics cookies are non-essential and are only used after you give consent through the cookie banner.

3. Advertising and remarketing cookies

Advertising and remarketing technologies help us understand whether our advertising is effective and may allow adverts for Lady Techy to be shown to you on other websites, apps or online platforms.

We may use:

• Google Ads remarketing; and
• The Meta Pixel, operated by Meta for Facebook and Instagram.

These technologies may help recognise a browser or device and associate visits to our website with advertising campaigns. They may also be used to create or infer audiences for relevant advertising.

Advertising and remarketing cookies are non-essential. They are only used after you give consent through the cookie banner.

4. Third-party cookies and embedded content

Some pages may include content or services provided by third parties, such as:

• Booking or appointment tools;
• Maps;
• Videos;
• Social media features; or
• Other embedded content.

Those third parties may set their own cookies or use similar technologies when the content is displayed or used. The third party is responsible for its own cookies and privacy practices.

Where practical, we will configure embedded content so that non-essential third-party cookies are not set until you have given consent. However, the precise cookies used may change when a third-party provider updates its service.

You should check the relevant third party’s privacy and cookie information for more detail.

Main cookies and tools

The names and durations below are typical examples. They may change depending on the current configuration of the website, the consent-management tool and the relevant provider.

Some providers may use additional cookies, local storage, pixels or other identifiers. The exact list may therefore vary depending on which pages, features or embedded services you use.

Giving, refusing or withdrawing consent

When you first visit our website, the cookie banner should allow you to:

• Accept non-essential cookies;
• Refuse non-essential cookies; or
• Manage your preferences by category.

You do not have to accept analytics, advertising or remarketing cookies to use the main parts of the website.

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by:

1. Opening the cookie settings link or button on the website, where available;
2. Changing your selections; and
3. Saving your new preferences.

Withdrawing consent does not make earlier use of cookies unlawful. It stops the relevant non-essential cookies from being used going forward, subject to the time it takes for settings to update. Some cookies already stored on your device may also need to be deleted through your browser.

If you delete your cookies, the cookie banner may appear again because the website will no longer remember your previous choice.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. The exact steps may differ slightly depending on the version of your browser.

International transfers

Some of the providers named in this policy are international technology companies. As a result, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may be transferred to, stored in or accessed from countries outside the UK or the European Economic Area.

The safeguards and arrangements that apply depend on the provider and the service being used. Further information about international transfers, personal information, lawful bases and your data protection rights is available in our Privacy Policy.
