Cookies Policy
Last updated: 11 May 2026
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on fraserburghelectrician.co.uk and how to control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy and complies with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember you between page loads, run analytics, or provide security functions. Cookies can be classified by purpose (strictly necessary, analytics, functional, advertising) and by duration (session cookies expire when you close the browser, persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. What we use cookies for
We keep cookie use minimal. We use cookies for two purposes only:
- Site security and performance (strictly necessary): Cloudflare cookies that protect the site from bots, denial of service attacks, and that route traffic efficiently. These cannot be turned off without breaking the site, and PECR does not require consent for strictly necessary cookies.
- Analytics (consent-based): Microsoft Clarity cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site (which pages get viewed, where people click, where they leave). The data is pseudonymous, no personal identifier is stored.
We do not use advertising cookies. We do not run retargeting, social media tracking pixels, or cross-site advertising.
3. Cookies in use
The specific cookies set when you visit the site are listed below.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Persists the Clarity user identifier for an individual visitor so behaviour across pages can be linked into a session for analytics. Pseudonymous, no PII. | 1 year | Analytics |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Connects multiple page views in one Clarity session so the analytics show realistic user journeys rather than disconnected page views. | 1 day | Analytics |
| MUID | Microsoft | Microsoft user identifier used by Bing and Clarity to deduplicate visitors across Microsoft services. Pseudonymous. | 13 months | Analytics |
| CLID | Microsoft Clarity | Clarity session tracking identifier. Persists Clarity's understanding of returning visitors at a pseudonymous level. | 1 year | Analytics |
| Cloudflare cookies (__cf_bm, cf_clearance) | Cloudflare | Strictly necessary for site security, bot protection, and DDoS mitigation. Cloudflare hosts the site infrastructure. | 30 minutes to 1 year | Strictly necessary |
This list may change as we add or remove tools. We update this page when it does.
4. How to control cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies on this site:
4.1 Browser settings
Every major browser lets you block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or control on a per-site basis. Browser-specific guides:
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies (Cloudflare) may break site functionality including form submissions.
4.2 Opt out of Microsoft Clarity specifically
You can opt out of all Microsoft tracking including Clarity at: choice.microsoft.com.
You can also use Microsoft's account privacy dashboard to manage what's collected: account.microsoft.com/privacy.
4.3 Do Not Track
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where your browser sends it. If your browser indicates you don't want to be tracked, we don't enable analytics tracking on your session.
5. International transfers
Microsoft Clarity and Cloudflare may process cookie data on servers outside the UK. Where transfers occur, they rely on the relevant adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses required by UK GDPR. See our Privacy Policy for more detail.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this cookies policy when we change tools or when regulations change. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
