Cookie Policy

Last updated: 27 November 2025

1. Who we are

This Cookie Policy explains how Quiet Assembly Ltd (“Quiet Assembly”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on quietassembly.co.uk and any related pages.

For more information about how we handle personal data more generally, please read our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owner.

Similar technologies (such as pixels, tags, local storage or scripts) can serve a similar purpose. In this policy we refer to all of these as cookies.

3. How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

• Make the website work securely and reliably

• Remember certain choices you make (such as your cookie preferences)

• Understand, in an aggregated way, how visitors use our site so we can improve it (if you consent to analytics cookies)

Some cookies are essential for the site to function and are set automatically. Other cookies are optional and will only be set if you choose to allow them.

Our use of cookies is governed by UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

4. Types of cookies we use

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate. Without them, the site may not work properly.

We use necessary cookies to, for example:

• Deliver web pages and basic functionality

• Enable security features and protect against malicious activity

• Remember your choice about cookies (so we don’t keep asking you)

Because these cookies are essential, they are always active. You can block them in your browser, but parts of the site may not work correctly if you do.

4.2 Preference and functionality cookies

We may use cookies that remember basic preferences, such as:

• Whether you have dismissed banners or notices

• Simple layout or display options

These cookies are designed to make your experience smoother but are not used to track you across other websites.

4.3 Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)

If you consent, we use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our site. This helps us understand things like:

• Which pages are visited most often

• How visitors find the site

• How long people spend on each page

• Rough information about the type of device and browser being used

We configure Google Analytics so that:

• It uses a truncated (pseudonymised) version of your IP address

• We see only aggregated reports and do not use it to identify you personally

Analytics cookies placed by Google typically last between a few minutes and up to two years. Google may also process this information in line with its own privacy and cookie policies.

Our legal basis for using analytics cookies is your consent. If you do not give consent, or if you withdraw it later, we will not set analytics cookies for you (or will stop setting them for future visits).

4.4 Advertising and social media cookies

We do not currently use advertising cookies or social media tracking pixels (such as the Meta Pixel) on this website.

If we decide to use such tools in future, we will:

• Update this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy; and

• Ask for your explicit consent before setting any marketing or social media cookies.

5. Cookies set by third parties

Some cookies may be set by third-party providers that we use to deliver services (for example, Google Analytics). These third parties are responsible for their own use of the data they collect.

Where third-party cookies are used, we only enable them where we have a legal basis to do so (for analytics, this is your consent).

You can find more information about how Google uses data from its services in Google’s own privacy and cookie documentation.

6. How you can control cookies

6.1 Through our cookie banner

When you first visit the site, you may see a cookie banner asking you to choose whether to allow analytics cookies.

Depending on how the banner is configured, you may be able to:

• Accept all – we set analytics (and any other optional) cookies in addition to essential cookies.

• Reject non-essential cookies – we only set essential cookies.

• Manage settings – you choose which categories of cookies to allow (for example, enable analytics but not other types).

You can change your choice at any time by returning to the site and adjusting your cookie preferences (for example, via a “Cookie settings” link in the footer, if provided).

6.2 Through your browser settings

Most browsers let you:

• See which cookies are stored on your device

• Delete some or all cookies

• Block cookies from all websites or particular sites

• Block third-party cookies

How you do this varies by browser. The “Help” function in your browser should explain how to adjust these settings.

Please note that blocking cookies may affect how the site functions. Some pages and features may not work correctly without certain cookies.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new tools, change the cookies we use, or if legal requirements change.

When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
