About this Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how London Private Investigators (LPI) uses cookies and similar storage and access technologies on londonprivateinvestigators.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What the rules cover

The relevant rules can apply to cookies, pixels, scripts, tags, local storage and similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, a user's device.

Technologies identified

A review of the live website in July 2026 identified Google Tag Manager integration. Google Tag Manager can deploy or manage other tags, so the site's actual WordPress and Tag Manager configuration must be technically scanned to maintain an accurate live list of cookies, tags and similar technologies.

Categories

Strictly Necessary / Essential — technologies necessary for the website or a service requested by the user, such as security, consent-preference storage or essential functionality.

Analytics / Measurement — technologies used to understand website usage or performance. Prior consent should be obtained unless a specific legal exception applies and all its conditions are satisfied.

Functional — technologies supporting preferences or enhanced functionality. Consent requirements depend on their purpose and any applicable exception.

Advertising / Marketing — technologies used for campaign measurement, advertising, audiences or cross-service tracking. Prior consent will normally be required unless a specific exception applies.

Consent

Where an applicable exception does not apply, LPI will seek valid prior consent. Users should be able to accept or reject non-essential technologies and change or withdraw their choices. Technologies requiring consent should not activate before the necessary consent has been obtained.

Google and third parties

The website currently contains Google Tag Manager integration. Google or other third-party services configured through the site may process information under their own terms. Any tags requiring consent must be correctly controlled by the site's consent-management system.

Google Ads conversion and phone-call measurement run under Google Consent Mode and continue even where advertising cookies are declined, using cookieless measurement — so conversions are always recorded. Google Tag Manager may load further tags; where it does, any requiring consent are controlled by the banner above.

Because website technologies change, the most accurate current list of individual technologies, providers, purposes and durations should be maintained through the website's cookie-consent/preferences panel following a technical scan of the live configuration.

Managing preferences

Visitors should be able to reopen the site's cookie settings to review or change their choices. Browser settings can also control cookies, although blocking essential technologies may affect functionality.

Changes

This policy may be updated when website technology, providers, legal requirements or practices change.
