Cookie Policy

This page explains how St. Andrew's Church, Horbling uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. Cookies Used on This Site

This site is built as static pages and does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. The only circumstance in which a third-party cookie may be set is if you actively click to load an embedded Google Map or YouTube video — these are locked behind a click-to-load button precisely so that no third-party cookie is set until you choose to view that content.

3. Your Consent

Because no non-essential cookie is set until you actively choose to load embedded content, no cookie consent banner is required for browsing this site. If you choose to click to load a map or video, you are consenting to that third party (Google or YouTube) setting its own cookies, governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies may affect the functionality of embedded content such as maps and videos, but will not affect your ability to browse the rest of this site.

5. Third-Party Services

The contact form on this site is processed by Formspree, and any embedded map or video you choose to load is provided by Google or YouTube. Each of these third parties has its own privacy and cookie policy, which we encourage you to review.

6. Legal Basis

Our approach follows the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), which require consent for any non-essential cookie. By only loading third-party embeds on request, this site avoids setting such cookies unless and until you ask for that content.

7. Questions

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact Rev'd Rebecca Rock at Rebecca.Rock@lincoln.anglican.org.
