Cookie Policy (v1.1)

What is this site's cookie policy?

This policy explains how John Taylor trading as Protoworks ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, in compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR. Last updated: 02 March 2026.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide essential functionality, and help us understand how visitors use our site.

Do you use cookies that track me?

We only use cookies that are essential to the functioning of this website. At this time, we do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling, or third-party analytics. If that changes, we will notify you and give you the opportunity to opt in or manage your cookie preferences.

What types of cookies do you use?

Under UK law (PECR), we must clearly explain the cookies we use and obtain your consent for any that are not "strictly necessary."

Currently, we only use the following types of cookies:
  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services. Because these are essential for the site to function, we do not need your consent to set them.

We do not currently use non-essential cookies, such as analytics, advertising, or behavioural profiling cookies. If we introduce these in the future, we will ask for your explicit consent via a cookie banner before placing them on your device.

How can I control cookies?

Because we currently only use strictly necessary cookies, there is no cookie consent banner on the site (as there is nothing to opt out of).

However, you can still block or delete all cookies via your internet browser settings. Please note that if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of our website correctly.

How do I get more information?

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or data privacy in general, please get in touch with us via Loading email....

For more information on how we handle your personal data (including our full contact details as the Data Controller), please see our Privacy Policy. You can also refer to the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) website for more details on your rights.
