What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file which a website may ask a browser
to store on a computer, telephone or other device.
Cookies can help a website remember information between pages or
visits. Similar technologies may perform related functions
without using a traditional cookie file.
A cookie is not, by itself, a programme and cannot read every
file on a device. Its significance depends upon the information
placed within it and the purpose for which it is used.
02
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are used where the website requires them for
basic operation, security or a function requested by the
visitor.
They may, for example, assist with:
- secure and reliable page delivery;
- fraud, abuse or security protection;
- remembering a temporary form or session state;
- maintaining basic website preferences;
- supporting a cookie-choice mechanism itself.
Because these technologies support the service requested by the
visitor, the website may not function properly if they are
blocked.
03
Preference cookies
Preference cookies may remember a choice such as language,
display setting, accessibility preference or another option
selected by the visitor.
Englishire should use such cookies only where a remembered
choice provides a genuine benefit rather than merely adding
complexity.
05
Third-party services
Some website functions may be supplied by other organisations,
such as hosting providers, form services, embedded media,
security tools or analytics providers.
Those services may set their own cookies or receive technical
information when their content or function is used.
Englishire should identify material third-party tools within
this policy or an accompanying cookie notice when they are
introduced. The provider's own terms and privacy information may
also apply.
06
Managing cookies
Most browsers allow cookies to be viewed, deleted or blocked.
The precise controls differ between browsers and devices.
Visitors may also be presented with an Englishire cookie choice
panel where non-essential technologies require a decision.
Refusing non-essential cookies should not prevent access to the
ordinary informational pages of the website. Blocking essential
cookies, however, may affect forms, security or other requested
functions.
07
Current use on this website
At the review date shown above, the website code supplied by
Englishire does not set cookies or use browser storage. It does
not include analytics, advertising trackers or embedded
third-party media.
The enquiry form submits the information entered by the visitor
to Formspree for delivery to Englishire. Formspree may process the
submission and related technical information under its own privacy
terms and Englishire's account settings. Englishire's website code
does not use the form to set analytics or advertising cookies.
A hosting provider may keep ordinary server access logs. If
Englishire later introduces cookies, analytics, embedded media
or another service, this policy and any required consent controls
should be updated before that technology is enabled.
08
Privacy
Cookies form part of the wider manner in which information may
be handled through the website.
The
Privacy Policy
explains the types of information Englishire may receive, the
purposes for which it may be used and the choices available to
individuals.
09
Changes to this policy
This policy may be revised when the website, its service
providers, its technology or applicable requirements change.
The review date at the top of the page should be updated when a
meaningful change is made.
