This cookie policy explains how ashfordstove.co.uk uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our privacy policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They can be used to make a website work, to remember settings or to collect information about how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in much the same way.
Strictly necessary cookies
The website uses one strictly necessary session cookie, which is set only when a site administrator logs in to the admin area. It keeps the administrator signed in while they manage the website and is deleted when the browser session ends. It is not used for visitors who do not log in, and it is not used for tracking or advertising. Because it is essential for the admin area to work, it does not require consent.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the website, so we can improve it. We only set analytics cookies if you consent to them. If you do not consent, no analytics cookies are placed on your device. You can change your mind at any time by clearing cookies in your browser or using the cookie settings on the website, where available.
Website statistics without cookies
Separately from cookies, our server records basic technical information when pages are requested, such as the page address, date and time, referring site, IP address, browser information and approximate country. This helps us keep the website secure and understand overall use. IP-level records are kept for up to 90 days and then deleted or aggregated. More detail is in our privacy policy.
Third-party content
Some pages, including our town pages, show a map from OpenStreetMap. When you view these pages, map images are loaded directly from openstreetmap.org, which receives your IP address and browser information in order to deliver them. Please see the OpenStreetMap Foundation's privacy policy for how they handle this information.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies will not affect your ability to browse the public pages of this website or send an enquiry. Guidance for your browser is usually found in its help section.
Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy if we change how the website works. The latest version will always be shown on this page. If you have any questions, please contact us.
