Cookie policy
Last updated: 17 October 2026
This cookie policy explains how the Energy Independence Scotland website (energyindependencescotland.co.uk) uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site's owners.
How this website uses cookies
This website is designed to be fast and lightweight. We use a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies, only where necessary for the site to function. We do not use cookies for advertising or for tracking you across other websites.
The types of cookies and technologies we may use are:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as filling in a form.
- Local storage. The website may use your browser's local storage to remember small pieces of information (for example, whether you have closed a banner) so that you do not see the same message repeatedly.
- Analytics. If we use an analytics tool to understand how visitors use the site, it may set cookies to distinguish one visitor from another. Any analytics we use is configured to respect your privacy and is used only to improve the website.
Third-party content
Some pages on this website may include links to third-party services (for example, WhatsApp or email providers). These third parties may set their own cookies when you follow a link or use their services. We do not control those cookies and recommend that you review the relevant third party's cookie policy for more information.
How to control cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. The exact method varies by browser, but help is usually available in the browser's settings or preferences menu.
Please note that if you disable strictly necessary cookies, some parts of this website may not function correctly — for example, you may not be able to submit the free quote form.
