This policy covers the cookies and similar technologies used on https://wheelbasegarage.com, which is run by T. J. Wheeler Limited, trading as Wheelbase Garage. That means anything that stores information on your device, reads information from it, or collects information your device sends automatically, such as its browser type or screen size. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal information.
1. Your choice
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you agree to optional cookies, in two groups: Analytics and Functional. Until you choose, and if you reject them, only the items in sections 2 and 3 are used. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load only if you agree to Analytics. The Google map loads only if you agree to Functional, or if you click the map to load it.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Privacy Settings link at the bottom of every page.
2. Strictly necessary
These are needed for the website to work, to remember your cookie choice and to keep the form free of spam. They do not need your consent.
| Name | Provided by | Purpose | What is stored, and for how long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your cookie choice | Bulldogs Digital Ltd | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies | bulldogs_consent_v1 (localStorage, until you change it, or we change what we ask); wp_consent_statistics and wp_consent_functional (cookies, 30 days) |
| Google reCAPTCHA | Google LLC | Protects the form on the Contact and Book Online pages from spam. Loads on those two pages only | _GRECAPTCHA (cookie on google.com, 6 months); rc::a (localStorage on google.com, until you clear your browser's data); rc::c (sessionStorage on google.com, until you close the tab) |
3. Kept only in your browser
The software that builds the website's pages keeps a small counter in your browser. It is never sent to us or to anyone else.
| Name | Provided by | Purpose | What is stored, and for how long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page builder | Bulldogs Digital Ltd (Elementor) | Counts how many pages and visits you have made, so the website can decide when on-page features should appear | elementor (localStorage, until you clear your browser's data); elementor (sessionStorage, until you close the tab) |
4. Analytics
These show us how visitors use the website. They are used only if you agree.
| Name | Provided by | Purpose | What is stored, and for how long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (through Google Tag Manager) | Google Ireland Limited | Counts visits and records which pages were read | _ga (cookie, 400 days); _ga_RQZXLRRGXK (cookie, 400 days) |
| Microsoft Clarity | Microsoft Corporation | Records how pages are used (clicks, scrolling, mouse movement), so we can find pages that are confusing or broken. Anything typed into the form is hidden | _clck (cookie, 1 year); _clsk (cookie, 1 day) |
5. Functional
These load content from another company. They are used only if you agree, or if you click to load them.
| Name | Provided by | Purpose | What is stored, and for how long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Google Ireland Limited | Shows where the garage is, on the home page and some service pages | Nothing is stored on this website's address. When the map loads, your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address and device information |
