What is installed
TFC uses Google Analytics 4 for visitor and page statistics only after you accept analytics. No advertising pixels, session replay, social embeds or marketing integration are installed. Optional tracking defaults to off. There is no reason to accept optional tracking to browse, use the quote form or view animations. The controls below manage TFC’s optional integrations, not independent hosting/access infrastructure or external sites.
Device storage inventory
| Item | Purpose and destination | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| tfc-intro-seen sessionStorage | Value 1 prevents unnecessary repetition of the homepage intro. Stays in this browser tab; not sent by TFC scripts. | Browser tab session (subject to browser session restoration). |
| tfc-cookie-preferences localStorage | Stores preference version, analytics/marketing choices and expiry after you save. No visitor identifier; not sent by TFC scripts. | 180 days; ignored and removed on the next visit after expiry. Clearing site data removes it sooner. |
| Browser cache | Local copies of site assets for loading performance. Managed by the browser and hosting cache headers. | Varies by asset and browser; not verified as a single period. |
| _ga and _ga_JQ5L9ZXMK5 cookies | Google Analytics browser and session identifiers for visitor, page and engagement statistics. Set only after analytics acceptance. Data is sent to Google. | Configured for up to 180 days, without extending the cookie expiry on each page load. Browser policies or withdrawing consent may remove them sooner. |
Manage your settings
Cookie settings is available in the footer at the bottom of every page. Reject optional switches both optional categories off. Save choices records your selections on this device. A small prompt appears after 30 seconds on a page if this browser has no valid saved choice. Accept analytics loads Google Analytics; reject leaves it off. No Google Analytics script or measurement request is sent before acceptance. Returning visitors with a valid analytics choice start measurement when the page loads. A changed vendor inventory requires a new consent version and fresh choice; today’s settings are not permission for undisclosed future tools. If browser storage is blocked, choices last only for the current page. Closing settings without saving leaves the current choice unchanged.
Third-party requests
The quote form contacts FormSubmit only when you send it. It uses a cross-origin request with credentials omitted and does not load a FormSubmit script or reCAPTCHA. FormSubmit’s own notice mentions cookies generally; this does not demonstrate that its AJAX endpoint sets a cookie in your browser. When analytics is accepted, the Google tag loads from googletagmanager.com and sends measurement to Google Analytics endpoints. TFC sends page paths and titles without query strings, fragments or referrer values. Google also processes identifiers, device/browser information and technical connection information; reports may include approximate geography and engagement. Enhanced measurement is disabled, and TFC does not send form contents, contact details or enquiry references to Analytics. Google Maps suggestions are not loaded. Clicking an external map or social link, or sending email in your own app, is a separate action outside these controls.
Hosting and access controls
The hosting platform can process connection information and may use access/security storage outside TFC’s page code. A complete live infrastructure cookie inventory, names, lifetimes and purposes has not been supplied or verified. We therefore do not claim the entire hosted service is cookie-free. These controls cannot remove platform cookies or data held on another website. Browser settings can manage site storage; blocking all storage may affect platform sign-in or access.
Withdrawal and limits
Turning a category off prevents the consent-managed integration from starting and stops its registered activity if already running. It does not undo earlier transmissions or promise deletion from providers. Withdrawing analytics disables further Google Analytics measurement on the page and attempts to clear this site’s _ga cookies. Earlier data already received by Google is not erased by changing this setting. The source audit and unresolved infrastructure checks are listed in the data audit.
