Cookie policy

DRAFT - NOT YET APPROVED. This page was generated from a template. It describes how the website itself works, but it has not been checked against how [CLIENT NAME] actually handles personal data, and it is not legal advice. Everything in square brackets needs replacing, and the whole page needs reviewing by [CLIENT NAME] and, where appropriate, a solicitor, before this site goes live.

The short version

This site sets nothing optional until you say yes. When you first arrive you are asked whether you will accept analytics cookies. If you decline, no analytics are loaded at all.

What is always set

A small number of things are needed for the site to work and cannot be turned off:

• Your cookie choice. Stored in your browser so we do not ask again on every page.
• A session cookie. Set when you use a form, to keep the form secure and working.

What is set only if you agree

[REVIEW AGAINST THE PROVIDER YOU ACTUALLY USE.] If you accept analytics cookies, [Google Analytics or Plausible] sets cookies to count visits and see which pages are popular. These tell us nothing that identifies you personally.

Maps, videos and other embedded content

Some pages can show a map, a video or a booking widget from another website. These are not loaded until you click to show them, because the other website may set its own cookies once it loads. When you click, we remember that choice for that website so you are not asked on every page.

Changing your mind

Use the Cookie choices link at the bottom of any page. It asks about analytics again and forgets any embedded content you had allowed. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings at any time.
