This policy explains how ADK9 Trained Dogs Ltd (“ADK9”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technology on adk9.co.uk.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used or whether our adverts are working. We only use those optional cookies if you say yes.
Your choices
When you first visit, we ask whether you’re happy for us to use analytics and marketing cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and the site works the same either way.
You can change your mind at any time using Cookie settings, which is also linked at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, we stop using those cookies and remove the ones we can.
We remember your choice for six months, then ask again. We’ll also ask again if we add a new tool that uses cookies.
Cookies we use
Essential (always on)
These keep the site working and secure. The law allows them without consent because the site can’t work properly without them.

| apbct_*, ct_* | CleanTalk | Protects our forms from spam and bots | Session to 30 days |
Analytics (only with your consent)
These help us see how people use the site, such as which pages are visited and how people find us, so we can improve it.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells visits apart so we can count visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_S8RCDDPE20 | Google Analytics | Keeps track of a visit across pages | 2 years |
Marketing (only with your consent)
These tell us whether our adverts on Google, Facebook and Instagram lead to enquiries, and help show our adverts to people likely to be interested.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au, _gcl_aw | Google Ads | Links an enquiry or call back to the Google advert you clicked | 90 days |
| _fbp, _fbc | Meta (Facebook and Instagram) | Measures our Facebook and Instagram adverts and helps show them to relevant people | 90 days |
Google and Meta may also set their own cookies on their websites. Their policies explain how they use them: Google and Meta.
Google consent mode
We use Google consent mode. If you don’t consent, Google Analytics and Google Ads don’t set or read cookies on your device. Google may still receive basic, cookieless information that a page was viewed (for example the time and the type of browser) so it can produce overall estimates. This can’t be used to identify you or follow you across other sites.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly, and we won’t be able to remember your choices.
