What we collect, how advertising cookies work on this site, and how to exercise your privacy rights.
Last updated: August 11, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information RoofingWala (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you visit orionmagazine.co.uk (the “Site”), why we collect it, and what choices you have. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
If you email us or submit a form, we receive whatever you choose to send — typically your name, email address and the content of your message. We use it only to respond to you.
Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools automatically record standard log data: your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used in aggregate to understand traffic patterns, diagnose technical problems and improve our content.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our third-party partners use them to remember preferences, measure audience, and deliver and measure advertising. You can refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings; parts of the Site may not function normally if you do.
RoofingWala is an ad-supported publication. Third-party advertising vendors serve ads on this Site.
We do not control the cookies or data practices of third-party advertisers. Their collection and use of information is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.
We may use analytics services to understand how the Site is used. These services set cookies and process log data, including a truncated or full IP address, on our behalf. They report aggregate trends, not the identity of individual readers.
We do not sell your personal information for money. Certain disclosures to advertising partners for cross-context behavioural advertising may be treated as a “sale” or “share” under some U.S. state privacy laws; see the state rights section below for how to opt out.
Depending on your state of residence (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas and others with comprehensive privacy laws), you may have the right to:
California residents have these rights under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, and may also request the specific pieces of personal information we hold. Under California’s “Shine the Light” law you may request information about disclosures to third parties for direct marketing purposes.
To exercise any of these rights, email contact@orionmagazine.co.uk with the subject line “Privacy Request”. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Where UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies to you, our lawful bases for processing are our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site and in funding it through advertising, your consent where consent is required (notably for non-essential cookies), and compliance with legal obligations. You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office.
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
We keep server logs and analytics data only as long as needed for the purposes described above, and correspondence for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and keep a record of corrections.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information processed through the Site. No method of transmission or storage over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our guides link to manufacturers, standards bodies, government resources and other publications. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any external site. Review their policies before providing information to them.
We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or the law change. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
