Legal & site information
Cookie Policy
This policy explains how the website at ashgroveimports.digital uses cookies and similar technologies. It describes what these files are, which categories are used here, and how you can control them.
It applies to visitors in the United Kingdom and covers the desktop-software practice pages of Ashgrove Imports Limited, including our services and technology guidance pages, whenever they are viewed in a browser.

Section 01
What cookies are
Cookies, and the technologies that behave like them
What a cookie actually is
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember preferences, and to provide information to site operators. Similar technologies, such as local storage, serve comparable purposes.
Why they exist at all
A site that cannot remember anything between two page loads cannot hold a session, keep a form partly filled, or tell a returning visitor from a first one. Cookies are the smallest mechanism that solves this without asking you to install anything.
The names you will see in our descriptions
- Session cookies — cleared when you close the browser window; they keep a single visit coherent.
- Persistent cookies — remain after the browser closes for a set period, then expire on their own.
- First-party cookies — set by this site, for this site's own function.
- Third-party cookies — set by another provider whose content appears on a page you are viewing.
Section 02
Cookies used on this site
Set out plainly, category by category, with what each one does for the visitor and whether you can turn it off here.
Category
What it does here
Status
Your control
Essential
Session handling and basic security so the site loads and stays consistent while you browse.
Always set — required
Not removable through the site.
Preference
Remembering choices you made on a previous visit, such as a view you switched to and returned to.
Set only where needed
Cleared with your browser data.
Analytics
Where measurement tools are in place, aggregated information about how the site is used, never an identified visitor.
Only with your consent
Withdraw any time.
Where analytics or similar measurement tools are used, they are intended to record aggregated information about how the site is used. Where such tools are in place, they are operated in accordance with the consent rules applicable in the United Kingdom. No category is added here without a corresponding line in this policy.
Section 03
Third-party cookies
Some functionality may involve content or services provided by third parties, which can set their own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the providers concerned, not by this policy.
In practice this can apply where an embedded element, a font service, or a measurement tool loads from a provider's own domain. We do not control those providers' defaults, so the reliable way to inspect them is to open your browser's cookie viewer for the page you are on and read the domain next to each entry.
Section 04
Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to view, delete and block cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how this website and others behave. Browser help documentation describes the specific steps for each browser.
- 1 Open your browser's settings and find the privacy or cookies section.
- 2 Review the cookies stored by ashgroveimports.digital, then block or delete the ones you do not want.
- 3 If a page stops behaving the way you expect, allow the essential category again and reload.
Browser help documentation describes the specific steps for each browser, including private-browsing modes that clear cookies on close.
Section 05
Consent, and how to withdraw it
Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, it is requested before those cookies are set, and it can be withdrawn at any time through the same mechanism or through your browser settings. Essential cookies are set on the basis of legitimate interest in operating a functional website.
Withdrawing consent does not invalidate the period before it was withdrawn, and it does not stop the essential category from being set, because the site cannot serve its pages reliably without it. If you change your mind later, the same panel lets you switch the non-essential categories back on.
Section 06
Changes and contact
This policy may be updated if the cookies used on the site change or if the applicable rules change. Questions about this policy can be sent to [email protected] or by post to Ashgrove Imports Limited, 8 Mill Lane, Calcot, Reading, England.
