Cookie Notice

This notice explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on the Adisham House website. It should be published alongside the Website and Public Privacy Notice.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on or accessed from your device when you use a website. Similar technologies can perform related functions. They can help a website operate, remain secure, remember choices or provide information about how the site is used.

2. Our approach

We may use technologies that are strictly necessary to provide or secure the website without asking for consent where the law permits. For other technologies, we will provide appropriate information and obtain consent or offer the legally required choice before using them, as applicable.

Where consent is required, refusing optional cookies should not prevent you from using the main website. You should be able to change your choices later through the website's cookie controls.

3. Types of cookies or technologies

Strictly necessary: used where essential to provide a website function requested by you, maintain security, prevent fraud or technical faults, or perform another exempt function.
Preferences/appearance: may remember choices about how the website looks or works. The precise legal requirements depend on the technology and purpose.
Statistics/analytics: may help us understand how people use the website. The legal requirements depend on the technology, purpose and safeguards used.
Third-party or embedded content: videos, maps, social-media features or other embedded services may use their own technologies. These must be identified and controlled as required before use.

4. Current cookie inventory – website audit required

Before this notice is published as final, the live website must be scanned or checked by the website provider/consent-management tool. For every cookie or similar technology, record its name, provider, purpose, category, duration and whether consent or another applicable exception/choice mechanism is used.

This document deliberately does not invent cookie names or durations. The website's actual configuration is the source of truth and should be rechecked whenever plugins, analytics, embedded content, advertising tools, hosting or consent-management settings change.

5. Managing your choices

Use the cookie settings/control displayed on the website to accept, reject or change optional cookie choices. Browser settings can also allow you to delete or block cookies, although blocking some strictly necessary technologies may affect website functions.

6. Personal information

Where information collected through cookies or similar technologies is personal data, the Website and Public Privacy Notice explains the relevant data-protection information, including rights, sharing, security, retention and complaints.
