What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the site owners. Your browser's local storage works in a similar way, and this policy covers both.
How we use cookies
WheelHouse Software uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. We use the following types of cookies:
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| theme | Stores your light/dark mode preference | 1 year |
| ads_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected Google Ads cookies | Until you clear it |
| analytics_objection | Remembers that you opted out of analytics and session replay | Until you clear it |
Analytics and session replay
We use PostHog to understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve it. It counts visits and clicks, and records session replays: a recording of how you move through the site, including the pages you visit, where you click and scroll, and what the page shows. What you type into forms is hidden from recordings.
This runs without asking, and keeps an identifier in your browser's local storage, not a cookie, so visits from the same browser join up. You can opt out at any time. We then stop counting and recording your visits, remove what PostHog stored in your browser, and remember your choice.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ph_*_posthog | Recognises returning visitors and their sessions | Until you clear it or opt out |
| __ph_opt_in_out_* | Remembers whether you opted out | Until you clear it |
Analytics and session replay are on in this browser.
Advertising cookies
We use Google Ads to measure whether our ads lead to enquiries. These cookies are only set if you accept them in the cookie banner.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Links a click on one of our ads to an enquiry made on this site | 90 days |
Google may also set its own cookies once these are enabled. See how Google uses cookies.
Third-party cookies
Our website may include content from third parties (such as embedded videos or social media links) that may set their own cookies. We have no control over these cookies. Please refer to the respective third-party websites for more information about their cookies.
Managing cookies
You can accept or reject Google Ads cookies at any time. If you reject them after accepting, we remove the ones already set.
You can also control and manage cookies in your browser. Most browsers allow you to:
