Cookie Policy
About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains cookies and similar technologies in connection with stmarywillesden.org, the website of St Mary’s Willesden. It should be read alongside our Privacy Notice.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. They can help a website function, remember a choice or recognise a browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, may also store or access information on your device.
Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. First-party cookies are associated with the website you visit; third-party cookies are associated with another provider.
Essential cookies
Some cookies or similar technologies may be necessary to provide a service you request, such as secure website functions or remembering a cookie choice. A technology is not essential simply because it is useful to the website operator.
Technologies that meet an applicable legal exception may be used without consent. Information about their purpose and duration should still be available.
Optional technologies
Optional technologies can support preferences, audience measurement or third-party content. Where consent is required, you should be offered a clear choice before those technologies are used. Continuing to browse does not, by itself, provide consent.
This policy does not confirm that analytics or advertising tools are installed. The categories and specific technologies used must reflect the website’s actual configuration.
Google Maps and Google Calendar
Our page designs include embedded Google Maps and Google Calendar content. When these features load, your browser connects to Google. Google may receive information such as your IP address and browser details and may use cookies or other technologies, depending on the feature, your browser and your Google account settings.
Where consent is required, these embeds should remain blocked until you choose to enable them. You can use the parish’s written address, service information and contact details if you prefer not to load embedded content.
For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s information about cookies.
Cookie details
The specific cookie names, providers, purposes, durations and consent categories need to be confirmed through a review of the live website, including its WordPress plugins and embedded services.
Once verified, those details should be published here or in an accessible cookie declaration linked from the website’s cookie controls. Examples of possible cookie categories in this policy are not an inventory of cookies detected on your device.
Managing your choices
Where a cookie preference facility is available, use it to accept or reject optional categories and change your choices later. Withdrawing consent applies to future use; cookies already stored may also need to be deleted through your browser settings.
You can use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies. Blocking some cookies may affect website functions. Browser settings do not necessarily remove information held by a third-party provider or control every form of local storage.
If you cannot find the website’s cookie controls or have a question about a technology being used, contact info@stmarywillesden.org.
External websites
When you follow a link to another website, that provider’s cookie and privacy policies apply. We do not control the cookies used by external websites.
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy when website features, providers or applicable requirements change. Cookie information and preference controls should be reviewed when new plugins or embedded services are introduced.
