At Christian Youth Outreach (CYO) Colchester, we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how our website operates. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on www.cyocolchester.org.uk, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. It allows the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details or cookie consent choices) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them.
2. How We Use Cookies
CYO Colchester is committed to protecting your personal data. We do not use cookies for advertising, marketing, remarketing, or third-party analytics.
Our website is built on WordPress, and we use cookies strictly for essential technical functionality and to remember your cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, the website would not function securely or properly.
3. The Specific Cookies We Use
Because we do not track you, run analytics, or serve ads, the only cookies dropped on your device fall under the Strictly Necessary category:
- WordPress Essential Cookies: Used by the WordPress content management system to manage user sessions, ensure site security, and allow core page functionality. These do not track your browsing habits across other websites. https://en-gb.wordpress.org/about/privacy/cookies/
- Cookiebot Consent Cookie (CookieConsent): Set by our cookie consent manager (Cookiebot) to remember whether you have accepted or rejected non-necessary cookies, ensuring we respect your choices on future visits.
4. Do I Need Consent for Essential Cookies?
Under UK privacy laws (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require prior user consent because they are vital for the website to work. However, we still provide a cookie banner via Cookiebot to ensure complete transparency about what is (and isn’t) running on our site.
5. How to Manage or Delete Cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish through your web browser settings. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed.
However, if you do this, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site, and some core features of the WordPress website may not work as intended.
To manage your specific consent choices for our website, you can reopen our cookie banner or settings widget at any time by clicking the cookie icon on our pages.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this webpage with a revised “Last updated” date.
