Cookies Policy
Last updated: 4 October 2026
This policy explains how the Dustolex website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device.
Your choice
When you first visit, we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept. Strictly necessary cookies do not need your consent. You can change your choice at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page.
Strictly necessary
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| dustolex-analytics-consent | Dustolex | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies. Stored in your browser’s local storage rather than as a cookie. | Until you clear it or change your choice |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Distinguishes people from automated bots to protect the site from abuse. Only set when Cloudflare needs to check traffic. | 30 minutes |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Cloudflare | Checks that an enquiry form is being sent by a person rather than an automated bot. It runs only on pages with an enquiry form and is not used for advertising. | Session |
| wordpress_*, wp-settings-* | Dustolex (WordPress) | Only set for our own staff when they sign in to manage the website’s content. Visitors to the website do not receive these. | Session, or up to 14 days if “remember me” is chosen |
Analytics (only if you accept)
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count visits and see how the site is used. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Keeps track of your current visit. | 2 years |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Recognises a returning visitor so visits can be grouped together. | 1 year |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Links the pages you view during one visit into a single session recording. | 1 day |
| CLID, MUID | Microsoft (clarity.ms, bing.com) | Set by Microsoft on its own domains to identify the browser across sites that use Clarity. | 1 year |
Microsoft Clarity shows us how visitors use our pages, through heatmaps and recordings of clicks, scrolling and mouse movement. It hides text typed into forms and does not record payment or personal details you enter.
We do not use advertising cookies. Google Analytics is set up with advertising features and ad personalisation turned off.
Third-party content
- Vimeo: the video on our home page is played by Vimeo with its do-not-track setting enabled, which stops Vimeo setting tracking cookies.
- Google Fonts: our text fonts are loaded from Google. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but Google receives your IP address when the fonts load.
- Links to other websites: links to Facebook, Google Maps and other sites take you to those services, which have their own cookie and privacy policies.
Managing cookies
As well as the “Manage cookie preferences” link, you can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working properly. Guidance is available at ico.org.uk.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy if the cookies we use change. Questions can be sent to [email protected]. See also our Privacy Policy.
