Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 7 July 2025
This page explains what cookies are, which ones Tickwright uses on this website, and how you can control them. We've written this in plain language — you shouldn't need a legal dictionary to understand it.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They help the site remember things about your visit — such as whether you've already accepted the cookie notice — so that you don't have to make the same choices every time you come back.
Cookies don't contain personal information on their own, and they can't run programmes or deliver viruses. They're widely used by websites to make them work correctly and to gather general information about how visitors use them.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always active
These cookies are necessary for the website to work correctly. They manage things like your cookie consent preference. You can't switch these off, and they don't collect any information that could be used to identify you.
Examples: cookieConsent (localStorage) · Duration: persistent
Analytics Cookies
Optional
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and where they come from. The information is aggregated and anonymous; it doesn't identify individual visitors.
Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) · Duration: up to 2 years
Marketing Cookies
Optional
These cookies are used to show relevant content and, where applicable, advertising. They track visits across different websites so that information shown to you can be tailored. Disabling these doesn't stop ads from appearing — it means they won't be based on your browsing history.
Examples: Facebook Pixel, Google Ads · Duration: up to 90 days
Preference Cookies
Optional
These remember choices you make — such as language settings or region — so that the website can provide a more personalised experience on your next visit. Disabling these means you may need to reset your preferences each time.
Examples: language, display settings · Duration: up to 1 year

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are placed by third-party services we use. These include:
- Google Analytics — measures site usage in aggregated, anonymised form
- Google Ads — tracks conversions from advertising campaigns (only if marketing cookies are accepted)
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel — measures advertising effectiveness (only if marketing cookies are accepted)
We don't control the cookies set by these third parties. Each has its own privacy policy explaining how they handle data. You can also opt out directly via the relevant platform's privacy settings.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open. When you close the browser, they're deleted automatically.
Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually. The duration varies by cookie — analytics cookies typically last up to two years; consent-related cookies we set expire after one year. You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can manage, block, or delete cookies directly in your browser settings. Here's how to access those settings in common browsers.

On mobile browsers (Chrome for Android, Safari for iOS), cookie controls are found in the browser's privacy or site settings. The steps are similar to the desktop versions above.
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to accept, decline, or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time using the controls on this page. Withdrawing consent won't affect anything that happened before you withdrew it.
Disabling analytics cookies means we won't be able to track how the site is used in aggregate. Disabling marketing cookies means ads you see (if any) won't be based on your browsing behaviour. Disabling preference cookies means some settings may reset between visits. None of these affect our ability to provide the watch repair services you enquire about.
