Cookie Policy
What cookies and similar technologies do on this site, which categories are in use, and how to control them from your browser.
About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how goldridge.digital uses cookies and similar technologies. It describes what cookies are, which categories are used on this site, and how you can control them. The site is operated by Goldridge Trading Limited, a private limited company registered in England under company number 15284619.
The policy applies to every page served from this domain, including the pages that carry the company's registration and compliance information. It does not cover the practices of any external site you may reach from a link here.

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember information between page requests, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
A cookie on its own does not run programs or deliver software to your device. It stores a short piece of information that the site reads back on a later request, and it can be set either by this site or by a service the site loads. You can see what is currently stored, and remove it, at any time through your browser settings.
- Session cookies
- Last only while your browser stays open and are cleared when you close it.
- Persistent cookies
- Stay on your device for a set period so a site can recognise a returning visit.
- Similar technologies
- Local storage and comparable browser storage behave like cookies for the purposes of this policy.
Cookies we use
The site sets a small number of cookies. They fall into the three categories below.
Strictly necessary cookies
Required for the site to function and to keep forms working correctly.
Preference cookies
Remember choices you make, such as display or language settings.
Analytics cookies
Collect aggregated information about how pages are used, so the site can be improved.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are needed for basic site functions, including submitting the contact form. They do not track you across other websites, and they cannot be switched off through the site's controls because the site would not work correctly without them.
If you block them in your browser, expect parts of the site to behave unpredictably: form submissions may fail, and a page may not remember that you have already dismissed a notice. Nothing else on the site depends on them.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies record aggregated information such as which pages are visited and how often. This data is used to understand which content is useful and where the site can be improved. It is not used to identify individual visitors.
Reports drawn from this data show totals and patterns, not a profile of a named person. If you would rather not take part, blocking analytics cookies in your browser does not change how the site works for you.
Preference cookies sit between the two: they remember a display or language choice you made, and they carry nothing beyond that choice.
Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies already stored. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works, including the contact form.
Blocking everything
A blanket block stops most cookies, including the ones the contact form needs to submit cleanly.
Third-party only
Blocking cookies set by external services keeps core site functions intact while limiting outside tracking.
Clearing what is stored
Deleting existing cookies resets stored preferences; the site will simply ask for them again on your next visit.
Third-party services
Where third-party services are used on the site, they may set their own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the relevant third party's own policies, not by this one.
If a page loads an outside service, its cookie is set by that provider rather than by Goldridge Trading Limited, and the provider's own policy explains what it stores and for how long. Where a service is not needed for a page to work, it is not loaded.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated if the cookies used on the site change or if the law changes. The current version is always the one published on this page.
Last reviewed in 2026. Older wording is not kept on the site.
Questions about cookies on this site
Do I have to accept cookies to read this site?
No. The pages that carry the company's information, including this policy, are readable without accepting anything. Only the strictly necessary cookies are set for the site to work, and they carry no tracking across other websites.
What happens if I block the strictly necessary cookies?
Parts of the site can stop working. The contact form is the clearest example: without these cookies a submission may fail or be lost. Everything that is plain reading, including the registration and compliance pages, still displays.
Does analytics data identify me as a visitor?
No. The figures we look at are totals and patterns — how often a page is opened, which sections are read more than others. They are used to decide what to keep, rewrite, or remove, and they are not used to build a picture of an individual reader.
