1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember preferences, or understand how visitors use the site. Similar technologies (such as local storage) may be used in the same way; we refer to them together as “cookies” in this policy.
2. How TOAT uses cookies
Our website is designed to work with minimal tracking. We do not use cookies for advertising profiles on the main TOAT pages described here.
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for security, load balancing, or hosting (for example when you use the contact form API on our deployed site). These cannot be switched off without affecting how the site works. | Session or short-term |
| Functional | May remember choices you make on the site so you do not have to enter them again (for example if we add a cookie consent preference in future). | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | We may use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site (for example pages viewed and interactions). You can respond to the cookie banner when it appears; your choice is saved in your browser. | Per Clarity / session |
| Third-party | Fonts may be loaded from Google Fonts; your browser may connect to Google’s servers. Embedded images (such as our logo CDN) may receive technical data like your IP address. See those providers’ policies for details. | Varies |
3. What we do not do
- We do not sell personal data collected via cookies.
- We do not set marketing cookies on the core static pages unless we clearly tell you and ask for consent where required.
4. Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings: block, delete, or be notified before cookies are stored. Blocking all cookies may affect how some features (such as form submission on a live deployment) work.
5. Contact and enquiries
When you submit our contact form, we process the details you enter according to our Terms & Conditions and use them to reply to you. That processing is separate from browser cookies.
6. Cookie banner
When you first visit, we show a banner with Accept and Reject. Your choice is stored locally (key toat_cookie_consent) so we do not ask on every visit. You can clear it any time via your browser site data settings.
7. Changes
If we change how we use cookies or analytics, we will update this page.
