The short version
We use a tiny amount of essential localStorage in your browser to remember:
- The items in your basket (so they're still there when you come back)
- Your cookie banner choice (so we don't show it on every page)
That's it. No tracking. No analytics. No third-party cookies. No advertising. No profiling.
What's localStorage?
localStorage is a modern alternative to cookies — it's a small bit of data your browser stores for our website only. Unlike traditional cookies, it's not sent to our servers with every request, and it can't be read by other websites.
If you've ever added items to an online basket, closed the tab, and come back later to find them still there, you've used localStorage.
What we store
| Key name | What it stores | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| uk-online-signs.basket | The list of products in your basket, including SKU, material, size, price, and quantity. | Until you complete your order or clear your browser data. |
| uk-online-signs.cookie-consent | Your choice from the cookie banner ("accepted" or "essential-only"). So we don't show the banner on every page. | Until you clear your browser data. |
Third-party scripts
When you reach the checkout page, the PayPal SDK is loaded from PayPal's servers to render the secure payment button. PayPal may set its own cookies at that point — this is necessary for PayPal to function, and is governed by PayPal's own cookies policy.
We use standard system fonts already installed on your device, so viewing the site does not load anything from, or send your data to, any font provider or other third party.
What we don't use
We do not use:
- Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics or any other web analytics
- Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight or any advertising trackers
- Hotjar, Mouseflow or any session-recording tools
- Retargeting or remarketing cookies
- Any tools that share your browsing data with third parties
How to clear or block our storage
You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser's settings. The exact steps depend on your browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → View permissions and data stored across sites → search ukonlinesigns.co.uk → Delete
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data → search ukonlinesigns.co.uk → Remove
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data → find ukonlinesigns.co.uk → Remove Selected
You can also browse in private/incognito mode, in which case nothing is stored after the session ends.
Note: if you clear our localStorage, your basket will be emptied.
