Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 May 2025
This page explains how Thessil uses cookies on this website, what each type does, and how you can manage your preferences at any time.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have already accepted this notice — so you do not have to re-enter it each time.
Cookies do not give us access to your device or any information beyond what is stored in the cookie itself. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete them.
2. Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies on this website:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to work correctly. They cannot be disabled. Without them, certain parts of this site — such as the contact form or cookie preference memory — would not function.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| thessil_cookie_consent | Records whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice on the home page | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier used to manage form submissions securely | Session (deleted when browser is closed) |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use this website, which pages are visited most often, and where people arrive from. All data is aggregated and anonymised — we cannot identify individual visitors from analytics data. These cookies are only set with your agreement.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors using a randomly generated identifier | 2 years |
| _ga_XXXXXXX | Google Analytics | Maintains session state across page views | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
| _gat | Google Analytics | Throttles request rate to Google servers | 1 minute |
IP anonymisation is enabled. We do not share analytics data with third parties for advertising purposes.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make — such as your preferred contact method — to provide a more consistent experience on return visits. These are only set with your agreement.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| thessil_ui_pref | Stores lightweight interface preferences (e.g. form field selections) across visits | 6 months |
3. Cookies We Do Not Use
We do not use:
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Cross-site tracking cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Cookies that collect or store sensitive personal data
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are set by third-party services we use, specifically Google Analytics. These third parties have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review:
The Google Maps embed on our home page may also set cookies from Google. These are governed by Google's cookie policy and are not controlled by Thessil.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookie preferences in several ways:
Via your browser
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings panel. Blocking all cookies may affect how this and other websites function. Links to guidance for common browsers:
Via the cookie notice on our home page
When you visit the Thessil home page for the first time, a notice appears asking for your agreement to optional cookies. If you have not yet made a choice, or if you want to change a previous choice, you can clear the thessil_cookie_consent entry from your browser's local storage and reload the page.
Google Analytics opt-out
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookie retention periods vary by type:
- Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually. Expiry dates for each persistent cookie are listed in the tables above.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies from this website. The date at the top of this page will be updated to reflect any changes. We recommend checking this page periodically if you are concerned about how cookies are used.
