SuburbShine Manchester uses a small set of cookies and similar technologies so the site works and so we understand general visit patterns. This page explains our approach under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, following guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help a site remember preferences, keep forms secure, or measure how people use pages. Cookies cannot run programs, and we do not use them to profile individuals.
2. What we use on this site
Strictly necessary cookies — keep the site usable (for example, a token that helps prevent duplicate form submissions or basic load balancing). These operate for the duration of a session and do not identify you personally.
Preference storage — we record your cookie decision in localStorage (or a small cookie if needed) so the banner doesn’t reappear every visit. This record contains only your choice (accept/decline) and a timestamp.
Analytics (optional) — privacy-friendly page measurement that uses aggregated metrics. IP addresses are not retained in readable form, and we do not build visitor profiles.
If you choose to decline optional cookies, the site remains readable and booking forms continue to work.
3. Consent and banner
On first visit, you will see a small banner offering two buttons: Accept or Decline non-essential cookies. Your selection is stored for up to 12 months. Clearing browser data (cookies, site storage) removes that record and the banner will appear again.
4. Change your mind
You can change your cookie choice at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings or by using the control below:
Names may vary slightly as we make technical updates; any changes will continue to follow the purposes stated above.
6. Third-party services
We avoid embedding third-party trackers. If a map, font, or video provider is added in the future, we will review its privacy documentation and present a separate consent where appropriate.
7. Analytics details
Our analytics collects basic events such as page loads, device type, and approximate geography derived from anonymous data. We do not track across sites, and we do not create user-level histories. Reports help us schedule visits and improve page layout.
8. Your rights
Under the UK GDPR you can ask us to access, correct, or erase personal information. Cookie data itself is typically non-identifying, but if any analytics records ever become linked to a person, those rights apply. Contact us using the details below.

Guides & Care
Picking a Time Window
Morning shade helps panels stay cool; late slots can suit school-run gaps. If street parking is tight, note when bays usually clear and we’ll plan around it.
Light agitation and steady rinses lift road film without harsh jets. We cover faces and barrels where access allows, then finish with clear glass edges.
“Simple timing and tidy setup — driveway stayed neat and the car looked fresh without any fuss.”
James
“Booked around nursery pick-up. Clear notes about water and runoff kept the bay neighbour-friendly.”
Noor
“Liked the polite driveway etiquette. Van was quiet, layout compact, and glass came up really clear.”
Emily
“Interior quick-clean was spot on for a school-run car. Seats stayed in and they worked around them.”
Cookie Choices
We use a few essential and analytics cookies to keep booking forms working and to understand basic visit counts. You can accept or decline — pages stay readable either way. See our cookie information for full details.
