This Cookie Policy explains how Leicester Bearings uses cookies and similar technologies on leicesterbearings.co.uk. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
When you first visit, a banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies are off by default and only load after you accept the relevant category.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar storage in your browser (localStorage) to remember your cookie choice. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used.
How to change your preferences
You can change your mind at any time. Open (also in the website footer), or use the same control in the cookie banner. Choosing “Reject non-essential” stops analytics and marketing cookies. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings.
Cookie categories
Necessary (always on)
These are required for the site to function and to remember the choice you make in the cookie banner. They do not require consent under UK PECR.
- lb-cookie-consent (localStorage, first-party) — stores whether you accepted analytics and marketing cookies. Kept until you clear site data or update your choice.
- Hosting / security — our host, Spacefast, may set strictly necessary cookies to deliver the site securely.
Analytics (off until you accept)
If you accept analytics, we load Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-XV87QFWNZZ) and a Dotwall availability monitor. These help us understand page views and whether the site is reachable. They are not used to show you ads.
- _ga — Google Analytics, distinguishes visitors. Typically up to 2 years.
- _ga_XV87QFWNZZ — Google Analytics 4 session cookie. Typically up to 2 years.
- Google may also set other cookies described in Google’s privacy policy.
Google LLC is based in the United States. See the Privacy Policy for how we handle international transfers.
Marketing (off until you accept)
We do not currently set marketing or advertising cookies, and we do not load marketing scripts. This category is listed so you can record a preference if we add them later. Until then, accepting or rejecting marketing has no effect on what is loaded.
Third-party services loaded with the page
We load the DM Sans typeface from Google Fonts. That request may expose your IP address to Google. It is used only to display the site, not to measure you for advertising.
