Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 April 2026
This page lists every cookie and tracking script Kasper the Locksmith uses, what each one does, and how long it stays on your device. It complements our Privacy Policy and is provided to meet UK GDPR and PECR requirements.
Your choices
When you first visited the site, we asked you to accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies. You can change that choice at any time:
We use Google Consent Mode v2 — when you decline analytics or marketing cookies, our analytics tools enter a modelled-only mode that does not store any identifiers about you.
What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Some cookies are required for the site to work (strictly necessary). Others help us measure how the site is used (analytics) or measure ad performance (advertising). You can block non-essential cookies in your browser settings, or use the controls above.

Third-party cookies and policies
Some cookies are set by third parties on our behalf. Their own privacy policies apply alongside ours:

- ClickCease: clickcease.com/privacy
How to withdraw consent
You can change your cookie choices at any time by clicking "Open cookie preferences" above, or by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of any page. Withdrawing consent does not affect data already collected — for that, please use the data-rights process in our Privacy Policy.
Browser-level controls
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Be aware that some site features (like the dynamic phone number swap) may not work as expected if you do.
Changes to this policy
If we add or remove cookies from the site we'll update the table above and the "last updated" date at the top. If the change is material we'll re-prompt you for consent.
