Cookie Policy for Lunesdale House
Last updated: April 07, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Lunesdale House ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.lunesdalehouse.co.uk. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Lunesdale House) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies".
2. Why do we use cookies?
Because our website is built using WordPress, it inherently utilizes certain cookies to function securely and efficiently. We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for you to browse the website and use its features. This includes cookies that allow our content management system (WordPress) and our web hosting environment to maintain secure sessions and prevent fraudulent activity. Because they are necessary for the site to function, they cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Analytical/Performance Cookies: These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality Cookies: These are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region, or whether you have dismissed a cookie consent banner).
3. How long do cookies last?
The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie:
- Session cookies last only until you close your browser and are not stored on your hard drive.
- Persistent cookies remain on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are manually deleted by you.
4. How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in our website's cookie consent banner (if applicable) or by amending your web browser controls.
If you choose to reject cookies via your browser, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information:
5. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
