Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on our website, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences at any time.

Last updated: 7 September 2026 UK GDPR Compliant

1. What Are Cookies?

A brief, plain-English explanation

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to improve the user experience, and to provide website owners with analytical and marketing information.

Cookies are not harmful and cannot carry viruses or malware. They allow websites to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the site.

This website is operated by Kome Care Ltd (www.komecare.co.uk). We use cookies in accordance with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).

2. Cookie Types We Use

An overview of the categories we use

3. Essential Cookies

Strictly necessary for the website to operate

Essential cookies are required for the core functionality of this website. They cannot be disabled because the site would not work without them. No consent is required for these cookies under PECR.

4. Analytics Cookies

Help us understand how visitors use our site

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors interact with our website in an aggregated, anonymised form. We use this data to understand which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and how they navigate the site, so we can continuously improve it.

These cookies are only set if you have given your consent via our Cookie Preferences panel.

We also use Microsoft Clarity to see how visitors interact with our pages through aggregated usage metrics, heatmaps and session replays. Text you type into forms is masked and not recorded. Clarity data is processed in accordance with the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. Data may be transferred to the USA under standard contractual clauses.

5. Advertising Cookies

Help us measure and improve our advertising

Advertising cookies let us measure the performance of our Google Ads campaigns and show relevant ads to people who have visited our website (remarketing). They are enabled through Google Signals and Google Ads. These are a separate choice from analytics cookies and are only set if you have specifically consented to advertising cookies in our Cookie Preferences panel.

If you reach our website by clicking one of our Google ads, Google's call tracking may briefly show a temporary Google forwarding telephone number in place of our usual number, so that a resulting phone call can be attributed to that ad. The call still connects to our normal office line and is not recorded by Google. Visitors who do not arrive from an ad always see our real number.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Provider
IDE Used by Google DoubleClick to measure ad performance and show relevant ads 13 months Google LLC
test_cookie Checks whether your browser supports advertising cookies 15 minutes Google LLC
_gcl_au Stores and tracks ad conversions and campaign attribution 3 months Google LLC
_gcl_aw Records that a visit came from a Google ad, so a later enquiry or phone call can be linked to that ad 3 months Google LLC

Advertising data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can also control ad personalisation in your Google Ad Settings.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies set by external services embedded on our site

In addition to our own cookies, some third-party services embedded on this website may set their own cookies. These are governed by the respective third-party's own privacy and cookie policies, which we link to where available:

We ensure that no third-party analytics or advertising cookies are loaded without your prior consent through our cookie consent management system.

8. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

How to block or delete cookies using browser settings
