How NearbyTraders uses cookies

NearbyTraders is a free directory of tradespeople covering Kent and Greater London. We use a small set of first-party cookies to remember whether you have dismissed the cookie banner and which shortlisted traders you have saved on this device. We do not sell, share, or rent any cookie data to third parties.

Analytics and measurement

To understand which pages are useful and which are not we load a privacy-respecting analytics script once you have given consent. The analytics script stores a randomised session identifier and the page URL. No personally identifying information is collected and no cross-site tracking is performed. If you prefer, you can click the "Reject optional cookies" button in the banner and only the strictly necessary cookies above will be set.

Affiliate click tracking

Some outbound links on NearbyTraders go to partner sites such as Checkatrade or MyBuilder. When you click one of those links a short redirect cookie is written so the partner can credit the referral. This cookie expires within 30 days and does not contain any data you have entered on NearbyTraders.

Managing cookies

You can clear all cookies set by nearbytraders.co.uk at any time through your browser settings. Clearing them will reset your shortlist and the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
