This Cookie Policy explains how House Modular (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at https://housemodular.co.uk/ (the “Website”). This policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access or use our website and related services.
House Modular is a blogging and informational platform focused on modular housing, construction insights, industry news, and related content. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how data is collected and used through cookies.
Please read this Cookie Policy carefully to understand what cookies are, how we use them, and what choices you have.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device, store information about your preferences and actions, and improve your browsing experience.
Cookies are widely used to ensure websites work efficiently, to analyse website performance, and to provide relevant content. They typically do not contain information that directly identifies you, but they may be linked to personal data we store about you, such as IP addresses or device identifiers.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:
- Web beacons (pixels): Small graphic files used to track user behaviour.
- Local storage: Data stored within your browser for functionality purposes.
- Scripts and tags: Used for analytics and performance monitoring.
For simplicity, all these technologies are referred to as “cookies” in this policy.
2. How Cookies Are Categorised
Cookies used on the website generally fall into the following categories:
a. First-Party Cookies
These cookies are set directly by House Modular and are used to support core website functionality, analytics, and user preferences.
b. Third-Party Cookies
These cookies are set by third-party services that appear on or support our website, such as analytics providers, social media platforms, or advertising partners. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several legitimate purposes, including but not limited to:
- Ensuring the website operates securely and efficiently
- Understanding how visitors interact with our content
- Improving website performance and usability
- Remembering user preferences and settings

Cookies help us improve our blogging services and deliver a better experience to our readers.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and protection against fraudulent activity.
Without these cookies, the website cannot operate correctly. As a result, these cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools.
Examples include:

4.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as:
- Pages visited most frequently

- Error messages encountered
The information collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible. It helps us understand how users engage with our content so we can improve site structure, performance, and editorial quality.
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics or similar tools) to assist with this analysis. These providers may set their own cookies and process data in accordance with their privacy policies.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. These cookies improve your experience but are not strictly essential.
Examples include:
- Remembering language or region preferences
- Retaining display or layout choices
- Remembering previously read articles or user settings
If you turn off these cookies, some features of the website may not function as intended.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies may be used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. These cookies may track your browsing activity across different websites and build a profile of your interests.
Although House Modular is primarily a blogging and informational platform, we may display advertisements, sponsored content, or affiliate links now or in the future. Advertising cookies help us:
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
- Limit how often you see certain ads
- Deliver content relevant to your interests
These cookies are typically placed by third-party advertising networks and are subject to those providers’ policies.
5. Cookies Used by Third Parties
Our website may include content or services from third parties that use cookies independently of us. These may include:
- Analytics providers
- Social media platforms (e.g., sharing buttons)
- Embedded videos or media

We do not control these third-party cookies. Their use is governed by the respective third party’s cookie and privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies to understand how your data is handled.
