Cookie Policy

Last updated: 29 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Sparkes Development (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit www.sparkesdevelopment.co.uk.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

They allow websites to function correctly, remember choices and preferences, maintain security and, where permission has been given, collect information about how visitors use the website.

Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. Others remain for a set period or until you delete them.

2. How we use cookies

Our website is created and hosted using Wix.com. Wix places certain essential cookies to provide security, stability and core website functionality.

We may also use optional cookies to understand how visitors use the website and help us improve its content and performance. Optional cookies are only used where you have provided your consent through our cookie banner.

The cookies used on our website fall into the following categories:

2.1. Essential cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate securely and correctly. They support functions such as fraud prevention, security, website rendering and remembering your cookie preferences.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie banner because the website may not function correctly without them.

2.2. Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website, such as which pages are visited and how visitors found the website.

We use this information to assess performance and improve the website. Analytics cookies are only used if you consent to them.

2.3. Functional cookies

Functional cookies may be used to provide additional website features or remember choices you make. These cookies are only used where the relevant feature is enabled and, where required, you have provided consent.

2.4. Marketing cookies

We do not currently use cookies for behavioural advertising or personalised marketing.

If marketing cookies are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated and those cookies will not be used unless you have provided the necessary consent.

3. Essential Wix cookies

As our website is created and hosted using Wix, Wix places essential cookies required for security, fraud prevention, website rendering, platform stability and remembering your cookie preferences.

These cookies may remain only for your browsing session or for a limited period afterward. Essential cookies do not require consent because they are necessary for the website to operate correctly.

Depending on your choices, Wix may also use analytics or functional cookies. These are not activated unless you provide consent through our cookie banner.

You can view and manage the available cookie categories at any time through the Cookie Settings option on our website.

4. Third-party services

Some website functionality is provided by Wix.com. Where optional Wix Analytics cookies are accepted, Wix may process information about how visitors interact with the website.

Our website also contains links to external websites and social-media platforms. Following one of these links may allow the external provider to place its own cookies. We do not control cookies placed after you leave our website.

You should review the privacy and cookie information provided by the relevant external service.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit our website, you can use the cookie banner to:

Accept all cookies
Reject non-essential cookies
Choose which optional cookie categories you wish to allow

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie Settings option available on the website.

You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.

6. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if the cookies used by the website change or if legal or technical requirements are updated.

Any changes will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be revised.
