This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (such as your browser's local storage) used on the Hutton Media Walls website, as required by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
1. In short
- We don't use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or analytics.
- We only store what's strictly needed for the site to work.
- The Google map of our showroom only loads if you allow "Maps and embedded content". Until then, nothing is sent to Google.
- Our 24/7 chat assistant only loads if you allow "Live chat" (or press "Allow and start chat"). Until then, nothing is sent to tawk.to.
- Our fonts are hosted on our own website, so loading a page doesn't send your details to Google Fonts.
2. Strictly necessary (always on)
| Name | Type | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
hmw_cookie_consent | Local storage (first party) | Remembers your cookie choices so we don't ask on every page. | 12 months, or until you clear your browser data |
hmw_access | Session storage (first party), planner page only | Remembers that you've entered the planner access code. | Until you close the browser tab |
3. Maps and live chat (only with your consent)
| Provider | Where | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps (Google LLC) | Showroom section of the home page | If you allow it, an embedded map loads from Google. Google receives your IP address and may set or read cookies. See how Google uses cookies and Google's privacy policy. |
| tawk.to (tawk.to inc.) | Chat button on every page | If you allow it, the chat widget loads from tawk.to. tawk.to receives your IP address and the messages you type, and may set cookies or local storage to remember your chat. Our team can read the chat and reply. |
4. Links to other services
Some buttons take you to other services: WhatsApp (to message us), SumUp Bookings (to book a showroom visit) and Google Maps (for directions). These aren't loaded on our pages, and nothing is shared with them unless you click. Once you're on their site or app, their own cookie and privacy policies apply.
5. Changing your choice
You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page, or the button at the top of this page. You can also block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings; if you do, we'll ask for your choice again.
