Cookie notice
Last updated: 31 October 2026. Version 1.0.
The short version
We set no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. There is no Google Analytics here, no advertising pixel and no cross-site tracking. The only third-party storage comes from the Typeform enquiry form when it loads, and we store a single flag in your browser to remember you have dismissed the cookie banner.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device. Related technologies —
localStorage, sessionStorage — do a similar job. UK law (the Privacy
and Electronic Communications Regulations, alongside the UK GDPR) requires your consent for
storage that is not strictly necessary to deliver a service you have asked for.

This site | localStorage, not a cookie |
Remembers that you dismissed the cookie banner, so it does not reappear on every page | Until you clear your browser storage |
| Typeform cookies | Typeform (third party) | Cookies and local storage | Runs the embedded enquiry form: keeping your place in a part-completed form, preventing duplicate submissions and abuse, and Typeform's own measurement of its service | Set and controlled by Typeform — see their notice |
| Cloudflare security cookies | Cloudflare (our host/CDN) | Strictly necessary | May be set to deliver the site and protect it from attack, for example if a challenge is shown to suspicious traffic | Short-lived |
Why there is no "accept / reject" choice
Because there is nothing non-essential of ours to accept or reject. We have deliberately built this site without analytics or advertising technology, so there is no tracking for you to switch off. The banner you may have seen is an informational notice, not a consent request.
The one thing we want to be straight about: the enquiry form is a third-party embed, and loading it does set Typeform's cookies. We think that is reasonable for a form you have come to the page to use, and we tell you so right next to the form rather than burying it. If you would rather not load it at all, do not open a page section containing the form — email us instead at hello@warmhomeloans.org and we will take your enquiry that way.
How to control cookies yourself
- Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and site data in its settings — usually under "Privacy".
- Blocking third-party cookies will generally still allow the enquiry form to work, though some features may degrade.
- To clear our dismissal flag, clear site data for warmhomeloans.org; the notice will then reappear.
- Blocking all cookies and JavaScript will not break this site. The enquiry form needs JavaScript; the rest, including all content and navigation, does not.
Third-party notices
Changes
If we ever add analytics or any other non-essential technology, we will update this notice and add a proper consent mechanism that asks you first and defaults to off. Until then, this page describes everything.
