Cookie Policy
Which cookies our website uses, what they’re for, and how you can control them.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites save on your phone, tablet or computer. They help a website work properly, remember things like what’s in your basket, and help website owners understand how their site is used.
2.How we use cookies
We sort cookies into two groups:
- Essential cookies keep the website working, including booking, basket and checkout. The site can’t work properly without them, so they’re always on.
- Optional cookies include things like analytics, which help us understand how people use our website, and cookies set by content from other sites. These are only switched on if you say yes through our cookie banner.
3.Essential cookies
These are set by WordPress and WooCommerce, the software our website and booking system run on.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
woocommerce_cart_hashwoocommerce_items_in_cart | Remembers what’s in your basket | Until you close your browser |
wp_woocommerce_session_* | Keeps your basket and booking together as you move between pages | 2 days |
wordpress_logged_in_*wordpress_sec_* | Keeps you logged in if you have an account with us | Until you close your browser, or 14 days if you tick “remember me” |
wordpress_test_cookie | Checks your browser accepts cookies | Until you close your browser |
| Cookie consent cookie | Set by our cookie banner to remember the choices you’ve made, so we don’t keep asking | Up to 12 months |
4.Optional cookies
These are only used if you accept them through our cookie banner. If you say no, they’re never set.
Analytics
Analytics cookies help us see how people use our website, such as which pages are visited most and how people find us. This helps us make the site easier to use. The information is grouped together and doesn’t tell us who you are.
Booking source
Our booking system can record how you arrived at our website, for example from Facebook or a Google search, when you make a booking. This helps us understand which places are most useful for letting families know about JCSS.
Content from other websites
Some pages may include content from other sites, such as social media posts, videos or maps. These sites can set their own cookies, which are covered by their own cookie policies. We only load this content if you’ve accepted optional cookies.
You can see the full, up to date list of cookies on our website at any time through the cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
5.Managing your cookie choices
When you first visit our website, you’ll see a banner asking whether you’re happy to accept optional cookies. You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Just bear in mind that blocking essential cookies will stop booking and checkout from working. Find out more at aboutcookies.org.uk.
6.Changes and more information
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, so check back here for the latest version. For more on how we look after your information, see our Privacy Policy, or get in touch using the details below.
