Cookies & browser technologies

What is stored in your browser, why it is used and how to control optional statistics.

Last updated · 28 October 2026 · Version 2026-10-28.8

At a glance

  • Optional statistics stay off until you choose Allow statistics.
  • No thanks is available alongside Allow statistics.
  • Use Privacy choices on a public page to change or withdraw consent.

This summary does not replace the detail below.

1. Your choice

Necessary security and sign-in technologies support the website or a feature you request. Optional statistics are a separate choice. Choosing No thanks leaves optional statistics off. Choosing Allow statistics enables the statistics described below. You can keep using the service whichever you choose.

Use Privacy choices on any public information or selling-guide page to reopen the choice. If you withdraw permission, future optional collection stops and our Google Analytics cookies, if present, are removed from this browser. A page reload may be used to stop already loaded Google Analytics and Tag Manager scripts. Withdrawal does not erase statistics already collected. The choice lasts up to 180 days unless you clear it.

This version asks for a fresh choice rather than treating an older daily-totals choice as permission for a new Analytics service. Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control suppresses optional collection even if you previously allowed it.

2. Optional statistics

After you allow statistics, Google Analytics 4 helps us understand visits to public pages, successful phone quote requests and accepted bulk-enquiry submissions. These events contain only the action type and public page context; the form contents and submission identifiers are not sent. It uses the _ga and _ga_<stream-id> cookies to distinguish browsers and sessions. Our configuration limits these cookies to 180 days from their initial setting, without extending that date on each page view; browser rules can shorten their life. The Google tag is blocked until consent, rather than sending cookieless Analytics pings before a choice.

Google Tag Manager loads only after Allow statistics on the public pages listed above. It manages tag loading and shares the existing data layer with our Google Analytics integration. The container itself does not set Analytics cookies. Our existing Google Analytics configuration remains directly installed; this installation does not add a second Analytics configuration.

Our first-party statistics tables contain daily counts, not full URLs, search terms, referrers, IP addresses or fingerprints. This does not mean that hosting/security services receive no connection information. Operational sales reports use transaction records needed to provide the service.

The Google tag receives connection and browser/device information. We send public page paths without query strings or fragments and only a referrer origin. We do not deliberately send names, contact details, IMEIs, order references, messages or bank details. Private account, login, staff and admin pages are excluded. Enhanced automatic measurements, Google signals and advertising features are disabled for this integration.

We do not install Google Ads conversion tags, remarketing tags or Meta Pixel. Fonts and site images are served from this website.

3. Cookie and storage inventory

The inventory below describes the application’s named cookies and preferences and the Cloudflare security cookie observed on public pages. The optional Analytics rows apply only when that service is enabled and you choose to allow statistics. Necessary sign-in cookies are set when you request sign-in, not to measure advertising.

If you choose an external sign-in service, that provider’s pages can use their own authentication and security cookies under their own privacy information. Those provider cookies are separate from optional statistics on this website.

4. Managing browser storage

Your browser settings can show or remove cookies and local storage. Removing sign-in cookies may sign you out. Removing preference storage resets the selected appearance or message sound. Clearing the privacy-choice cookie means we ask again. Blocking necessary security cookies can prevent the service working.

For questions or a privacy request, email info@webuymobilephones.com or telephone 07716 509343. The Privacy notice explains your information rights, retention criteria, international processing and complaints.
