Cookie policy
Last updated 11 October 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We also use your browser’s local storage, which works in a similar way. We use only what the site needs to work, plus analytics cookies if you agree to them.
2. Essential (always on)
These are needed for the site to work, such as keeping you signed in. The law doesn’t require your consent for them, and they can’t be switched off here.
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
findavendor_at | Keeps you signed in (short-lived sign-in token) | 1 hour |
findavendor_rt | Renews your sign-in so you stay signed in | 14 days |
findavendor_preview | Lets our team preview the site before launch | 30 days |
fav_consent | Remembers your cookie choice | 6 months |
findavendor_cart (local storage) | Remembers the services in your basket | Until you clear it |
fav_apply_unsaved:… (local storage) | Keeps vendor application answers you haven’t saved yet, so a lost connection doesn’t lose your work | Until saved |
3. Analytics (only with your consent)
If you choose “Accept analytics”, we use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful, so we can improve the site. Google Analytics doesn’t store your full IP address, and we don’t use it for advertising. If you choose “Reject”, these cookies aren’t set.
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes visitors (Google Analytics) | 13 months |
_ga_… | Keeps track of your visit (Google Analytics) | 13 months |
4. Changing your mind
You can change your choice at any time using “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. Choosing “Reject” deletes the analytics cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but you won’t be able to sign in without the essential ones.
