Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Automate Works Limited (“Automate”, “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on automateapp.co.uk (the “website”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. “Similar technologies” includes local storage and other techniques that store data on your device. Automate uses first-party local storage to remember your consent choice.
How consent works
On your first visit you see a consent bar. Optional functional cookies are not loaded until you choose to enable them. You can accept all, reject optional cookies, or manage your preferences. Your choice is stored in first-party local storage and remembered on future visits. You can change your preferences at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer. Analytics cookies are always active so we can measure and improve Automate.
Cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to function securely and cannot be switched off in the preference centre.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| automate_consent_v1 | Stores your cookie consent preferences | First-party (local storage) | Until you change your preferences |
Analytics & performance cookies
These are always set when you visit the website so we can understand how Automate is used and measure performance. We use Google Analytics 4, deployed via Google Tag Manager. These cookies are first-party (set on the automateapp.co.uk domain) but the measurement service is operated by Google LLC.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | First-party | Up to 2 years |

|---|---|---|---|
| Elfsight platform cookies | Powers the embedded Google Reviews widget | Third-party (elfsightcdn.com) | Session / up to 12 months |
Marketing cookies
Automate does not currently use any marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes, the consent version will be updated and you will be asked to choose again before any marketing technology is loaded.
First-party vs third-party
Strictly necessary and analytics cookies are first-party — set on the automateapp.co.uk domain. Functional (Elfsight) cookies are third-party, set by the widget provider. We only load third-party technologies after you enable the relevant category.
Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie choices at any time by selecting Cookie settings in the website footer. You can also clear your stored consent through your browser settings, which will cause the consent bar to reappear. Most browsers also let you manage cookies in their settings; blocking all cookies may affect website functionality.
