1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Annie Ford (“I”, “me” or “my”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit www.annieford.co.uk (the “website”). It explains what these technologies are, why they may be used and how you can control them.

 

This policy should be read alongside the website Privacy Policy. It is intended for visitors in the United Kingdom and reflects the requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and, where personal data is involved, the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.

​

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website. They can help a website function, remember settings, understand how visitors use it or provide content supplied by another service. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts and device identifiers.

​

3. How this website uses cookies

The website may use the following categories of cookies or similar technologies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for the website to operate securely and provide a service you request. These do not normally require consent.

• Functional cookies: remember choices or settings to provide enhanced features. Where required, these are used only with your consent.

• Analytics cookies: help measure visits and understand how people use the website so it can be improved. These are used only with your consent unless a legal exception applies and its conditions are met.

• Marketing cookies: may track activity across websites or support targeted content or advertising. These are used only with your consent.

• Embedded-content cookies: may be set by third-party services when you play a video, view a map or interact with embedded content. These are used only with your consent unless they are strictly necessary for a service you request.
   

4. Your consent and choices

When you first visit the website, you should be given a clear choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies should not be set before consent is given. You should also be able to choose by category where appropriate. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent because they are required to provide the website or a service you request.

 

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the “Cookie settings” link on the website [insert its location, for example: in the footer]. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. Your choice may itself be remembered for a limited period so that the website does not ask you on every visit.

​

5. Third-party services

Some website features may be supplied by third parties, such as video, mapping, security, scheduling, contact-form, hosting or analytics providers. If enabled, those providers may place cookies or use similar technologies and may process information under their own privacy notices. Their technologies should be blocked until you consent where consent is required. The final cookie table should identify each relevant provider.

​

6. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how the website works. Browser controls are separate from the website’s consent tool, so you may need to update both. Guidance about cookies and browser controls is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office.

​

7. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website, the cookies used, service providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top will show when it was last updated. Material changes should also be brought to visitors’ attention where appropriate.
