Cookie Policy

Last updated: 08/26/2026

Like most websites, silkydo.com uses cookies to function properly, understand how visitors use the site, and improve your experience. This policy tells you what that means in plain terms and gives you control over it.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return or move between pages. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage; in this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”.

Cookies can be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. They can be set by us (“first-party”) or by third-party services we use (“third-party”).

Why we use cookies?

We use cookies to:

• Keep the website secure and working as intended;
• Remember your preferences, such as language;
• Understand how visitors find and use the site so we can improve it;
• Measure the performance of our marketing, including quote-request campaigns;
• Show relevant content and, where applicable, advertising.

Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to function — for example, to keep the site secure and to remember what you enter in the quote-request form as you complete it. They cannot be switched off in our systems.

Preference cookies

These remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, to give you a smoother experience.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and where they come from — on an aggregated basis. We use this to improve the site.

Marketing cookies

These may be set through our site by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant messages on other sites. They rely on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

Cookies on this site

The table below lists the main cookies we use. The exact set may vary as we update the website and its tools.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on or support our website. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they handle your data. Depending on the tools in use, these may include:

• Google Analytics — website usage measurement;
• Google Ads — advertising and conversion measurement;
• Meta (Facebook/Instagram) — advertising measurement and targeting;
• WhatsApp / messaging widgets — enabling chat functionality.

Your consent

When you first visit silkydo.com, we ask for your consent to use non-essential cookies (analytics and marketing) through a cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the site cannot function without them. You can accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time.

Managing & disabling cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

• On our site: use the cookie preferences option in our banner or footer to update your choices.
• In your browser: most browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Look under “Privacy” or “Cookies” in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
• For analytics: you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s browser add-on.

Please note that blocking some cookies — especially strictly necessary ones — may affect how the website works and prevent parts of it, such as the quote-request form, from functioning correctly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our website, tools, or the law change. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
