Cookie Management
An active cookie management service for your website with 12 months of protection
Ensure your website's cookie management is GDPR compliant
You probably know your website needs to be compliant with GDPR.
But did you know this applies to cookies too?
GDPR requires you must notify your visitors that your website or 3rd party service uses cookies. You also need to clearly explain what cookies are used and what you use them for.
Then you need to gain consent to use them before saving them to a user’s device and provide a simple way for this consent to be withdrawn.
Did you know?
The UK GDPR classes cookie identifiers as a type of ‘online identifier’, meaning that in certain circumstances, these will be personal data

Frequently Asked Questions
Design
Q: How long does it take to build a website?
A: We can build a website in as little as a week.
Q: Will my site look like my competitors?
A: No, unlike some of our competitors, we don’t limit your choices to a few generic templates. We will customise every template to perfectly fit your brand.
Q: Can I change the images?
A: Of course, you can supply your own images and/or find stock images you can use that will fit the design
Q: Can I change the layout?
A: Absolutely. You have full control over how you’ll site will look to make it perfectly fit your personality & brand.
Q: I don’t have a brand (or I don’t want to use it). Is this a problem?
A: It depends. We can build using what you have already but you might want our designers to create something fresh and new, from a simple logo redraw up to a full rebrand.Ordering & Payments
Q: Can I order and pay online each month?
A: Yes. All plan payments are online via Direct Debit
Q: Can I pay in full instead of Direct Debit?
A: Sure. Drop us a message and we’ll send you an invoice
Q: Who actually owns the website?
A: During the first year, we retain ownership of the site (not your content) until the balance is paid off. At this point, website ownership transfers to you. If paying in full, the site is owned by you from the start
Q: What happens after the first year?
A: If you’d like us to continue managing, hosting and supporting your website then you’ll move to a Care Plan. If , instead, you are leaving us at that stage (we’ve not had one yet) we’ll package and supply your site for you to transfer to your new provider.
Q: Are there any additional costs?
A: No. Our Website Plan prices are all published and fixed. Should your requirements change during the build there may be additional work needed and this will be discussed with you at the time if it requires an adjustment to your monthly fee.Maintenance
Q: Do I need to do any updates?
