COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: 30 September 2026

Private Number Plate Maker Ltd ("Plate-Maker", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on plate-maker.co.uk to operate the website, support features such as the shopping basket and checkout, remember your preferences and, where permitted and you have given the required consent, understand how the website is used.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the categories we use, how your choices work and how you can change or withdraw your preferences.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small files or similar pieces of information that can be stored on your device when you visit a website. They can allow a website to remember information between pages or visits and can help certain website features function correctly.

The term "cookies" in this policy also covers similar technologies that store or access information on your device, where relevant.

2. WHY DOES PLATE-MAKER USE COOKIES?

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for different purposes, including:

Operating essential website functions
Keeping the website and online services secure
Remembering information needed for features such as your basket or checkout
Remembering your cookie preferences
Understanding how visitors use the website so that we can improve it
Supporting marketing or advertising functions where these are used and the required consent has been obtained

The exact technologies used on the website may change over time as the website and its services develop.

3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES

Category	Purpose	Consent
Strictly necessary	Required for essential website functions, such as operating the site, supporting the basket or checkout, security and remembering cookie preferences.	Not normally required where the technology is genuinely necessary for the service you have requested.
Analytics	Helps us understand how visitors use the website and identify areas where the site can be improved.	We ask for consent before using analytics technologies unless a particular use lawfully falls within an applicable exception.
Marketing	May be used to measure, personalise or support advertising and marketing activity.	Consent is required before using technologies for these purposes.

Not every technology that stores or accesses information on your device necessarily requires consent. UK rules contain specific exceptions, including for technologies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user. Other exceptions can apply only where their specific conditions are met.

Where Plate-Maker uses analytics or marketing technologies requiring consent, we will not rely on this Cookie Policy alone as consent. Your choice must be made through the relevant cookie or consent controls provided on the website.

4. HOW WE ASK FOR CONSENT

Where consent is required, you should be given a clear choice about non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

Our consent mechanism may allow you to:

Accept non-essential cookies
Reject non-essential cookies
Select the categories you are willing to allow

Your choices should be separate from accepting our Terms and Conditions or placing an order.

We do not treat simply continuing to browse the website as consent to non-essential cookies.

5. CHANGING OR WITHDRAWING YOUR COOKIE CHOICES

Where the website provides a Cookie Settings or equivalent preference control, you can use it to change or withdraw your consent.

You can also use your browser settings to block, restrict or delete cookies. However, blocking certain cookies may affect the way some parts of the website operate.

6. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU REJECT NON-ESSENTIAL COOKIES?

Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent you from browsing the website or placing an order.

Some strictly necessary technologies may still be used where they are required for the website or a service you have requested to function.

If you block cookies through your browser, certain website functions may not work as intended.

7. THE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES WE USE

The exact names, providers, purposes and retention periods of cookies and similar technologies depend on the technologies actually deployed on the website.

Plate-Maker will maintain its cookie and technology information based on the systems actually operating on the website rather than listing technologies that are not in use.

Where an audited cookie inventory is available, it should identify, as applicable:

The cookie or technology name
The provider
Its purpose
Its category
How long it remains on your device
Whether it is used before or after consent

We will not represent a particular third-party service, cookie name or retention period as being used by Plate-Maker unless it has been verified as part of the website's actual technology setup.

8. THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES

Some website functions may involve technologies provided by third parties.

Where a third-party technology stores or accesses information on your device, the relevant legal requirements still apply. The use of a third-party service does not by itself remove the need to obtain consent where consent is required.

Where the processing of personal information is involved, further information may be provided in our Privacy Policy.

9. COOKIES AND PERSONAL INFORMATION

Cookies and similar technologies do not always involve personal information. However, some technologies may collect or be associated with information that can relate to an individual or device.

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal information, our Privacy Policy explains how Plate-Maker handles personal information and the rights that may apply.

10. YOUR BROWSER CONTROLS

Most modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

View stored cookies
Delete existing cookies
Block some or all cookies
Allow cookies only from particular websites
Receive a warning before cookies are stored

Please note that browser-level blocking can affect essential website functionality.

11. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technology, services or legal requirements change.

When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this page.

If our use of cookies or similar technologies changes in a way that requires a new or updated consent choice, the relevant consent mechanism will be updated accordingly.
