Cookie policy

What City2City stores on your device, which of it is needed to make the site work, which of it is optional, and how to turn the optional part off.

Last updated 28 September 2026. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at info@city2city.co.uk.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small file a website puts on your device so it can remember something — that you are signed in, which options you picked, or that you have seen a message before. The site also uses your browser’s own storage (local storage and session storage), which does the same job in a slightly different way. Where this policy says “cookies” it means both.

Some cookies are needed for the site to work at all. Google Analytics is optional, and this page sets out what each item is for and how to refuse the optional one.

2. Cookies that make the site work

These keep the site working. They cannot be switched off, because without them you cannot sign in, book a job or pay. None of them is used to track you or to show you adverts.

Cookies City2City and Stripe set to make the site work

The site also keeps these in your browser’s storage:

Browser storage City2City uses to make the site work
NameSet byWhat it doesHow long
c2c-cookie-consent-v1City2City (local storage)Remembers whether you accepted or refused analytics cookies, so the banner does not ask again on every pageUntil you clear this site's data in your browser

c2c_paid_v2City2City (local storage)Remembers a card payment that has gone through but is not yet confirmed, so you cannot be charged twice for the same job. It holds postcodes, the date and time, the driver's first name and the totalUp to 7 days
c2c_handoff_lines, c2c-move-items-v1City2City (session storage)Carry the addresses and items you entered on a quote form or the van size calculator over to the booking formUntil you close the tab
c2c:sign-in-forwardedCity2City (session storage)Remembers for one minute which page the sign-in page has just sent you to, so it cannot send you round in a loopUntil you close the tab

3. Analytics cookies — Google Analytics

If you accept analytics cookies, the site loads Google Analytics, so we can see how many people visit, which pages they use and where the site is slow or confusing. It tells us how the site is performing, not who you are. If you refuse, or do not answer the banner, Google Analytics does not load at all.

Google Analytics cookies, set only if you accept them
NameSet byWhat it doesHow long
_gaGoogle AnalyticsTells one browser apart from another so visits can be counted2 years
_ga_<container id>Google AnalyticsKeeps the session state for this site2 years

You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer. Refusing after you have accepted removes these cookies. You can also block Google Analytics across every site you visit with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

4. No advertising cookies

The site does not use advertising or retargeting cookies, and nothing on it follows you to other websites. If that ever changes, this page will be updated and the cookie banner will ask you first.

5. Live chat — Crisp

Our live chat runs on Crisp. Nothing from Crisp loads until you open the chat. Once you do, Crisp sets a cookie so your conversation carries on where it left off instead of starting again on every page. Crisp says these cookies are not used for tracking.

Crisp live chat cookies, set only if you open the chat
NameSet byWhat it doesHow long
crisp-client/session/…CrispKeeps your chat conversation attached to you between pages and visits6 months, renewed each time you come back and open the chat
Other crisp-client/… cookiesCrispKeep the chat window working6 months or less

What happens to the messages themselves is covered in the privacy policy.

6. Address, postcode and route lookups

When you type an address, our server passes what you type to Loqate (GBG) to suggest matching addresses, and looks postcodes up with postcodes.io to place them on the map. To work out the road distance, our server sends the start and end points to a routing service: Google’s route service, or the OSRM routing service when Google is not used. Your browser never contacts these services directly, so none of them can set cookies on your device. What they receive is covered in the privacy policy.

7. Managing cookies

There are three ways to control this:

  • The cookie banner. When you first arrive you can accept or refuse analytics cookies. To change your mind later, use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page.
  • Your browser. Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all let you block or delete cookies and stored data for a site. Look under Settings, then Privacy. Blocking the cookies that make the site work will stop you being able to sign in or book.
  • Google’s own tool. The Google Analytics opt-out add-on, linked above.

Clearing this site’s data also clears the choice you made on the banner, so you will be asked again next time.

8. Changes to this policy

We update this page when the tools on the site change. The effective date at the top tells you which version you are reading. Questions go to info@city2city.co.uk.
