This policy explains cookies and similar technologies used by The Carpet Dye Guy website, including the automatically displayed Google map and the external services used to deliver website features.
Google Maps loads automatically.The homepage and service pages connect to Google to display the map. No separate analytics or advertising pixels are installed.
External provider controls.Google and your browser provide controls for their cookies and data settings.
The live site has been checked.The inventory below reflects the technology currently active on the production website.
01
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags and device identifiers. Some are essential to a requested website function; others may measure use, load third-party content or support advertising.
The rules apply to storing information on a device and accessing information already stored there, not only to files called cookies.
02
The Google map loads automatically when you visit the homepage or a service page, without a separate map button. This contacts Google before you click the map or follow the link to our Google Business Profile. Google may receive connection information and use cookies or similar technologies. See Google’s Privacy Policy and cookie information.
03
The website does not currently provide a cookie preference panel or a switch for the embedded maps. You can manage cookies through your browser and Google’s own privacy controls. Browser restrictions may affect whether the map works. These controls do not undo information already sent when the map loads.
Contact details and the enquiry form are also available on the contact page, which does not contain the Google map.
04
Technologies genuinely needed to deliver a function you request, protect the site, remember a cookie choice or submit a form safely. Where a legal exception applies, they do not require consent, but we still explain them.
Only what is genuinely essentialTools that help us understand broad patterns such as page visits, device types and whether the site works well. No analytics service is installed on the live website.
Not activeThird-party videos, maps or other embedded content that may contact an outside provider when loaded. The locally hosted logo animation is not a third-party embed.

The inventory reflects the map display update of 14 September 2026 and identifies the services used by this website. Google’s processing can vary with browser settings and whether you are signed in to Google.
Vercel hosts and delivers the website and may process ordinary connection and security information needed to provide and protect it.
Category: Strictly necessary where essential
Active — no first-party cookie or browser storage was observed during the live auditWould remember whether a visitor accepted, rejected or customised optional technologies so the site can respect that decision.
Category: Strictly necessary for the preference tool
No on-site cookie preference tool is currently implementedProtects the online enquiry form from automated abuse. It runs a browser security check and produces a token that the website verifies with Cloudflare. It does not receive the enquiry wording or uploaded photographs through the Turnstile widget.

Active on the contact form — no first-party cookie or browser storage was observed during the live auditWould measure broad website use and performance if George chooses to enable it later.
Category: Analytics
Not installedDisplays The Carpet Dye Guy map automatically on the homepage and service pages. Loading the embed connects your browser to Google, which receives your IP address and browser information and may use cookies or similar technologies under its own policies, before you interact with the map.
Category: Video and external media
Active automatically on the homepage and service pagesWould measure paid advertising or support audience tools if paid campaigns are introduced later.
Category: Marketing
Not installedThe map is delivered by Google. Its provider policies describe its use of cookies and information. Cloudflare Turnstile protects the contact form; its checks can vary with the visitor and perceived risk.
06
An ordinary link to WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn or another website does not itself give that provider permission to place tracking technology on this site. If you follow the link, the destination service applies its own privacy and cookie terms.
Selected reviews are displayed as website content rather than through a live third-party review widget. This avoids loading unnecessary tracking code. The original platform is identified and linked where practical.
The Google map is embedded and loads automatically. Ordinary external links are separate: their destination page opens when you follow the link. Locally hosted images and video files do not send a visitor to an external media platform.
07
Your browser also lets you view, block or delete cookies and other stored site data. These controls are separate from any preference panel on this website. Blocking every cookie may affect websites that depend on an essential function, although refusing optional technologies will not block this site's main content or contact routes.

We will update this page when the website's technology, providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows when the wording was last revised. A change that introduces a new optional purpose will not silently reinterpret an older choice; fresh permission will be requested where required.
