Cookies.
We keep cookies to a minimum. A few essential cookies make the site work; beyond those, we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used — and only if you accept. There is no advertising.

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They are widely used to make sites work properly and to remember choices you have made. A “first-party” cookie is set by the website you are visiting (in this case, Dukes Windows), rather than by a third party tracking you across the web.
The cookies we use
The table below lists the cookies this site can set. The essential cookies remember your preferences and let the site work. The Google Analytics cookies are set only if you accept analytics in the cookie banner — decline, and they are never written.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| dukes:consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so we do not ask again. | Until cleared |
| _ga | Google Analytics — tells visitors apart so we can measure how the site is used. Set only after you accept analytics. | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_QPWS2099TE | Google Analytics — keeps the analytics session going. Set only after you accept analytics. | Up to 2 years |
| dukes_gate | A pre-launch preview gate — allows access to the site before it goes fully public. It plays no part once the site is live. | Session / until cleared |
The essential cookies above are first-party cookies set by this website. The Google Analytics cookies are set by Google on our behalf, and only after you accept. We do not use any advertising cookies, and we do not allow third parties to track you across other websites.
Analytics (only with your consent)
With your permission, we use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the site — for example, which pages are visited and roughly where visitors come from — so we can improve it. We run it in a privacy-conscious way: analytics operate under Google’s Consent Mode, so no analytics cookies are set until you choose “Accept”, and we never use analytics for advertising.
If you decline, Google Analytics stores no cookies on your device. You can change your choice at any time using the Manage cookies control in the footer of every page. Google processes this information on our behalf, and some of it may be processed outside the UK under appropriate safeguards — there is more in our privacy policy.
Anti-spam protection
When our anti-spam protection is enabled, Cloudflare Turnstile may briefly set a token in your browser as you submit the enquiry form. This is used only to confirm the form was completed by a person rather than an automated bot — it does not track you and is not used for advertising.
Managing and clearing cookies
You are always in control. You can change your mind at any time using the Manage cookies control in the footer of every page, which reopens the cookie banner so you can review your choice.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- see which cookies are stored and clear them;
- block cookies from specific sites or all sites; and
- delete all cookies when you close the browser.
Because the cookies above are functional, blocking them will not stop you using the site — you may simply see the cookie banner again on your next visit.
