Cookie policy

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on yourautumnyears.co.uk. Last updated: 14 November 2026.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in much the same way. The law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) says a website must ask for your consent before using them, unless they are strictly necessary for a service you have asked for.

Cookies on this website

We do not set any cookies when you visit this website. We checked on 13 November 2026: the public pages set no cookies and store nothing in your browser's local storage. There is no analytics, advertising or social media tracking, and no embedded maps or videos.

Cookies are only set for the few people who sign in to manage the website, never for visitors:

Other services this website uses

This website's theme loads its fonts (Libre Baskerville, Source Sans 3 and Open Sans) from Google Fonts. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but your browser sends your IP address to Google so it can deliver the fonts. Google's privacy policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Links to other websites, such as the Care Quality Commission, only send you to that website if you choose to follow them. Their cookies are covered by their own policies.

How to control cookies

Because we do not use optional cookies, we do not show a cookie banner. You can still see and delete cookies, or block them, in your browser's settings. The ICO explains how at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies/. Blocking all cookies will not affect your visit to this website, but will stop the sign-in page working for administrators.

If we ever add optional cookies, such as analytics, we will ask for your consent first and update this page.
