Cookie Policy
How we use cookies and similar technologies on our website, and how to control them
Introduction
Blue Badge Solicitors ("we", "our" or "us") uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies on this website. This policy explains what they are, what we use them for, and how you can control them.
Please read it alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use your personal information.
Last updated: 17 October 2026.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit. They let the website recognise your device and remember information about your visit.
Websites can also store information in your browser in other ways, known as local storage and session storage. Session storage is cleared when you close the browser tab. Local storage stays until you clear it. The law treats these technologies in the same way as cookies, so we explain all of them here.
Your Choice
When you first visit, we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. If you choose "Accept All", we use Google Analytics cookies to understand how people use the site. If you choose "Reject All", we do not set any analytics cookies. The site works in exactly the same way whichever you choose.
You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link at the bottom of every page, or here:
If you change from accepting to rejecting, we delete the Google Analytics cookies already stored on your device.
What We Use
Strictly Necessary
This remembers your cookie choice so we do not ask you again on every page. Because it is needed to respect your choice, it does not require consent.
| Name | Type | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Local storage | Records whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies | Until you clear it |
Analytics (Only If You Accept)
Google Analytics tells us which pages people visit, how they arrive and how they move around the site, so we can improve it. These cookies are only set if you choose "Accept All".
| Name | Provider | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes one visitor from another | 2 years | |
| _ga_[ID] | Keeps track of your current visit | 2 years |
If you reject analytics cookies, Google Analytics still loads but runs without cookies. It may send Google basic information that a page was viewed, without storing anything on your device or identifying you across visits. We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies.
Site Features and Enquiry Information
These stay in your browser and are not shared with anyone unless you send us an enquiry.
| Name | Type | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| popupLastShown, and names ending in TrustPopup | Session storage | Stops the same information pop-up appearing again during your visit | Until you close the tab |
| popupShown | Local storage | Remembers that you closed the enquiry pop-up, so it is not shown again | Until you clear it |
| bbs_attribution_v1 | Session storage | Records the first page you visited, the website that referred you and any campaign tags in the link you followed | Until you close the tab |
If you submit an enquiry form, we send this enquiry information with your enquiry so we can see which pages and sources lead people to contact us. If you have accepted analytics cookies, we also include your Google Analytics identifier, which lets us link your enquiry to your visit in our analytics. If you do not submit a form, none of this leaves your browser.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is provided by Google. When analytics cookies are switched on, Google processes information about your use of this website on our behalf. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also block Google Analytics on every website using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
The Cookie Settings link is the easiest way to control our cookies. You can also block or delete cookies and stored data in your browser settings:
Blocking or deleting cookies will not stop the site working. If you clear your browser storage, we will ask for your cookie choice again on your next visit.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy if we change the cookies or technologies we use. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
