What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites. They can support security, website operation and, where enabled, optional analytics and advertising.
Cookies currently used
Our website uses an essential PHP session cookie to support secure administration and website form protection. Typically the cookie is called PHPSESSID. Its precise duration depends on the server and browser settings. It is not used for advertising.
The current website package does not intentionally set optional analytics or advertising cookies. This should be checked against the live site and any third-party services installed.
Consent and choices
Essential cookies are used for functions that are strictly necessary and do not require prior consent. If we introduce optional analytics, advertising or media cookies, we will request consent before setting them and provide a way to change or withdraw consent.
You can remove or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent some forms or administrator functions from working.
Cookie duration and data retention
Essential PHP session cookies typically last for a browsing session, subject to technical configuration. If optional cookies are added, this notice will identify them and explain their retention periods.
Our separate two-month retention period for ordinary enquiries concerns personal enquiry records and does not mean every cookie lasts two months.
Third parties
Hosting and other technical providers may process information necessary to provide the website. Additional third-party features will be reviewed and described here if used.
Further information
For questions about cookies, contact gc@gacook.com. See our Privacy Notice for details of personal data handling. You can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
We may update this Cookie Policy when the website or its cookies change.
