Cookies Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This page explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on pipedownplumbing.co.nz, why we use them, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to remember information about your visit. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and analytics tags. In this page, “cookies” refers to all of these.
What we use cookies for
We use cookies in three categories. We do not load advertising or tracking cookies.
1. Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. They handle the Payload CMS admin session (for the site owner only) and standard security headers. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off in our systems — you would be unable to use the site without them.
2. Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to measure how the site is performing in aggregate. These are privacy-friendly tools that do not use third-party cookies, do not track you across other sites, and do not collect personally identifying information.
3. Performance
Performance cookies help us understand which pages load slowly so we can fix them. Same scope as analytics — anonymous, aggregate, and not shared with advertisers.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies at any time using your browser’s settings. See aboutcookies.org for instructions for each major browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will not prevent you from browsing the public site, but may prevent the site owner from logging in to the admin area.
Third-party services
When you submit a quote request, your details are processed by Resend for email delivery. Images and other media are served from Vercel Blob. Neither service uses cookies in the user-facing pages of this site.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we change which tools we use. The “last updated” date at the top will reflect that.
