Cookie Policy
1. About this policy
This policy explains how Laze ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at www.laze.london (the "Site").
Laze is a furniture restoration, reupholstery and furniture sourcing business operated by Heather Niven, a sole trader trading as "Laze", based in England.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use your personal information more generally. If you have any questions, you can contact us at heather@laze.london.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (such as your computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to give the website owner information about how the site is used.
We also use the word "cookies" in this policy to refer to similar technologies that collect information in the same way, such as pixels, tags and local storage.
3. The cookies we use
Our Site is a static website hosted on GitHub Pages, which does not set its own cookies. The only cookies in use are the consent cookie set by our cookie banner and the analytics cookies set by Google Analytics. We use two types:
- Essential cookies — these are needed to make the Site work properly and to remember your cookie choices. These cookies do not require your consent; and
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) — these help us understand how visitors use the Site, for example which pages are visited and how people found us, so we can improve it. These cookies are only set with your consent.
A summary of the cookies we use is set out below. The exact names and durations may change from time to time.

4. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, to collect information about how visitors use the Site. This information is collected in a way that does not directly identify you, and is used to produce reports that help us improve the Site.
Google may process this information on our behalf and may transfer it outside the UK. For more information about how Google uses data, please see Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
5. Your choices
When you first visit the Site, we will ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies (such as Google Analytics). You can choose to accept or reject these cookies, and we will not set analytics cookies unless and until you accept them.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the cookie banner on the Site and updating your choices.
Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually block or delete cookies, or set your browser to warn you before accepting them. Please note that if you block essential cookies, parts of the Site may not work properly.
To find out more about cookies and how to manage them, visit aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top. Please check back occasionally to stay informed.
