Template, pending legal review
This document is a template. It is not legal advice and must be completed with your organisation's details and reviewed by qualified counsel before publication. The cookie inventory should reflect the cookies actually set in production.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in a comparable way. We use them sparingly, and only as described here.
2. The categories we use
Essential
These are necessary for the website to work and to remember your cookie choice. They do not require consent. Your cookie preference is stored on your own device so the banner does not appear on every visit.
Privacy-conscious analytics
These help us understand, in aggregate, how the website is used so we can improve it. We aim to use analytics configured to minimise personal data. They are only used with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
A full inventory of individual cookies, their provider, purpose and lifetime should be maintained and inserted here before publication: [Cookie inventory - to be completed].
3. Purposes
- To keep the site secure and functioning correctly.
- To remember your cookie consent choice.
- To measure website usage in aggregate so we can improve content and performance.
4. Managing your cookies
You can change your choice at any time from our cookie preferences page, where you can accept all cookies or keep only the essential ones. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. The date above shows when it was last updated.
