1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences, or whether you have previously acknowledged a notice.
Cookies may be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period). They may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services used on that page.
2. Cookies used on this website
This website uses a small number of cookies. The table below summarises each one:
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| mossvale_cookie_consent | Functional | Stores your cookie consent preference so the consent notice is not shown on every page visit. | 12 months |
| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users. Set only if analytics cookies are accepted. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics — maintains session state. Set only if analytics cookies are accepted. | 2 years |
| NID / 1P_JAR | Third-party | Set by Google Maps embed on our homepage. Used by Google to remember preferences and for advertising purposes. | 6 months |
The consent cookie (mossvale_cookie_consent) is stored in your browser's localStorage rather than as a traditional cookie. It serves the same purpose: recording your preference so you are not shown the consent notice on repeat visits.
3. Cookie categories
We use the following categories of cookies on this website:
- Strictly necessary: cookies essential for the website to function correctly. These do not require your consent and cannot be switched off.
- Functional: cookies that remember your preferences (such as the consent notice acknowledgement). These are set with your agreement.
- Analytics: cookies that help us understand how visitors use this website — which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This information is aggregated and cannot identify you personally. These are set only with your consent.
- Third-party: cookies set by external services embedded on our pages (such as Google Maps). These are governed by the third party's own privacy and cookie policies.
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or profiling.
4. Your choices
When you first visit this website, a consent notice will be displayed. You may accept all cookies or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored and applied to your subsequent visits.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or cookies for this site and reloading the page — the consent notice will then reappear.
Most browsers also allow you to manage cookies directly through their settings. You can typically:
- View and delete cookies stored on your device
- Block cookies from specific sites or all sites
- Be notified when a cookie is set
Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including this one.
5. Third-party cookie policies
Cookies set by third-party services embedded on this site are outside our direct control. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party policies:
- Google Analytics and Google Maps: Google Privacy Policy
- Google Fonts (loaded from Google servers, may set cookies depending on browser behaviour): subject to Google's privacy policy above.
6. Updates to this policy
We may update this cookie policy if we change the cookies used on this website. Any changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will reset the consent notice so visitors can review and confirm their preferences again.
