What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as scripts and embedded content from other websites, can also store or read information on your device. This policy explains what smarthomecinemas.co.uk uses, why, and how you can control it. It covers cookies and these similar technologies together, and we call them all “cookies” below.
We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies.
How you give and change your consent
When you first visit the site, a banner asks whether you accept optional cookies. Accept and Deny are equally easy to choose, and nothing optional is switched on until you accept. Google Analytics does not load until you accept Statistics cookies, and our showroom film loads only when you press play.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Manage consent tab at the bottom of every page, or using the options below. Withdrawing consent stops optional cookies from being used from then on. You can also delete cookies already stored using your browser settings.

Statistics cookies (only if you accept)
We use Google Analytics 4, through Google Site Kit, to understand how visitors use the site: which pages are viewed, how long visits last, how visitors found us and roughly where they are. The cookies hold a randomly generated identifier that recognises your browser on return visits. We use this information to improve the site and do not use it for advertising.

Third-party content (only if you choose to load it)
Some pages show content from other companies. When it loads, that company receives your IP address and may store or read its own cookies on your device. Its own privacy and cookie policies apply. Our showroom film is the only content of this kind, and it loads only when you press play.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |

Other services that do not set cookies
- ShortPixel delivers the images on every page from its image network. It receives your IP address in order to send you the images, but it sets no cookies.
- Trustindex displays our customer reviews on some pages. It loads from Trustindex’s servers, which receive your IP address. It set no cookies in our tests.
- Fonts are stored on our own server, so no font service is contacted.
