A small list of small cookies.
We try to use the smallest number of cookies the site can honestly get away with. Below is the full list of what we set, why we set it, and how long each one lasts. If you have any questions, write to [email protected].
In short
- We set 1 essential cookie, in your browser only, to remember that you have seen our banner.
- We may set 1 optional analytics cookie if you accept it.
- We set no marketing cookies. Ever.
- You can clear all cookies from this site in your browser at any time.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a very small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. It usually contains a piece of identification, an acknowledgement, or a preference. The Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk has a short, plain-English guide to cookies that we recommend if you would like to know more.
Essential cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work. They do not require your consent under UK cookie law.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| bfcc-cookie-ack | Remembers that you have dismissed the cookie banner. | 1 year |
This is the only cookie the site sets by default. It is set via localStorage in your browser, not via a third-party service.
Analytics cookies (optional)
If you accept analytics via the cookie banner, we may set one privacy-friendly analytics cookie to help us understand whether anyone in the parish is reading. We do not currently use Google Analytics; we use a small, privacy-respecting alternative (Plausible). If we do change provider, we will update this page first.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _plausible | Plausible Analytics | Aggregated page-view statistics. No personal data; no cross-site tracking. | Session |
Marketing cookies
We set none, and we never will. We have nothing to sell.
How to clear cookies
You can clear all cookies for this site at any time in your browser. Look for "Privacy" or "Site data" in your browser settings, then "Cookies and site data". On most browsers you can clear cookies for a specific site without affecting other sites. If you clear the bfcc-cookie-ack cookie, the banner will reappear on your next visit.
Changes to this policy
If we add a new cookie, we will update this page first and re-show the banner. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
