2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can allow a website to recognise your device, remember preferences, provide essential functionality, understand how visitors use the website, or enable services provided by third parties.

Cookies may be:

• session cookies, which normally expire when you close your browser; or

• persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

Similar technologies may also be used for comparable purposes, such as local storage, pixels or other storage and access technologies.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• make our website function correctly;

• maintain the security and stability of the website;

• remember choices or preferences;

• provide embedded website features;

• understand how visitors use the website;

• measure website performance;

• improve the usability and effectiveness of the website; and

• provide third-party services such as maps, where enabled.

We do not use cookies to provide an online hall-booking system.

Hall-hire enquiries are made directly by telephone or email.

4. Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions and cannot normally be switched off through our website.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• website security;

• managing cookie-consent preferences;

• maintaining core WordPress functionality;

• protecting forms or website systems against misuse;

• load balancing; and

• enabling other features that are necessary for the website to operate.

Because these cookies are necessary for providing the website or a service requested by you, your consent may not be required for them.

You may still be able to block them through your browser settings, but some parts of the website may no longer work correctly.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may allow the website to remember choices you make or provide enhanced website features.

For example, they may remember:

• certain display preferences;

• accessibility settings; or

• other website preferences.

Where legally required, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential functional cookies.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics services to help us understand how visitors interact with our website.

Analytics information may include:

• pages visited;

• approximate number of visitors;

• how visitors arrived at the website;

• time spent on pages;

• browser and device types;

• general geographical information; and

• website errors or performance information.

If we use analytics cookies that are not exempt from consent requirements, they will not be activated until you have given the appropriate consent.

If Google Analytics or another analytics platform is added to the website, this Cookie Policy and the cookie-consent tool should be updated to accurately reflect the service being used.

Third-Party Cookies

Some website features may be provided by third-party organisations.

For example, our website may include:

• Google Maps;

• externally hosted fonts;

• video services;

• social-media content; or

• other embedded services.

Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded or when you interact with it.

Where consent is required, we will take reasonable steps to prevent non-essential third-party cookies from being activated until you have given your consent.

5. Google Maps

Our Contact page may use Google Maps to help visitors locate The Land of Grace at:

657 Green Lanes, London, N8 0QY

Google Maps is operated by Google.

When Google Maps is loaded, Google may receive information such as:

• your IP address;

• device information;

• browser information; and

• information about your interaction with the map.

Google may also use cookies or similar technologies.

Where required by applicable law, Google Maps should be prevented from loading non-essential cookies until you have provided the appropriate consent through our cookie settings.

Google’s processing of information is governed by Google’s own privacy and cookie policies.

6. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, you may see a cookie banner or consent-management notice.

Where consent is required, you will be given an opportunity to choose whether to allow non-essential cookies.

Depending on the cookies used on the website, you may be offered choices such as:

Accept All

Allows the use of all cookies for which consent has been requested.

Reject Non-Essential Cookies

Allows only cookies that are necessary for the website to operate or otherwise fall within an applicable legal exemption.

Manage Preferences

Allows you to choose individual categories of non-essential cookies.

Choosing not to accept optional cookies should not prevent you from accessing the main information and hall-hire contact features of our website.

7. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent

Where we rely on your consent to use cookies, you can change or withdraw that consent at any time.

You should be able to reopen the website’s cookie settings through a link or control such as:

Cookie Settings

or

Manage Cookies

This link should remain accessible after your initial choice, for example in the website footer.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of cookie use that took place before consent was withdrawn.
