Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide basic information about how visitors use a site.

Cookies may be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them). They may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses ("third-party cookies").

2. How We Use Cookies

Darnwell Compendium uses cookies for the following purposes:

• To remember your cookie consent preferences so that we do not display the consent banner on every page after you have made your choice.
• To understand, in aggregate, how visitors navigate the site so that we can improve its content and structure.
• To enable embedded third-party content (such as the Google Maps embed on our Contact page) to function correctly.

3. Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies are essential for the basic functioning of the website. They do not require your consent under applicable law. These include:

4. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting information in aggregate form. This includes data about which pages are visited, time spent on the site, and approximate geographic region. This information is used to improve the content and structure of the publication.

Analytics cookies are not set unless you have accepted them via the cookie consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

5. Third-Party Cookies

When you visit our Contact page, a Google Maps embed loads to display our office location. Google may set third-party cookies related to this embed. These are governed by Google's own privacy and cookie policy, available at policies.google.com.

Our website also loads open-source libraries (fonts, JavaScript) from content delivery networks including jsDelivr, unpkg, Cloudflare, and Google Fonts. These services may log access requests. Their respective privacy policies govern any data collected.

We do not use advertising cookies or tracking cookies linked to third-party advertising networks.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can review and update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of any page on this site. This will reopen the cookie consent banner and allow you to revise your choices.

Withdrawing consent for analytics cookies does not affect the functioning of the website. Necessary cookies cannot be disabled without affecting basic site functionality.
