This cookie policy explains how hoxneneighbourhoodplan.co.uk uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site. We are an independent review portal providing information about Kingdom, and this policy covers only our own use of cookies – not those set by the operator's platform if you choose to visit it.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser. When you return to our site, that file allows us to recognise your browser and remember certain preferences or actions. Cookies cannot run programmes, deliver viruses, or access other files on your device. They exist solely to make your visit smoother and to help us understand how our content is used.
Most cookies we set are "session cookies" – they disappear when you close your browser. A smaller number are "persistent cookies" that remain on your device for a set period, allowing us to remember your consent choices or language preferences across visits.
The analytics question
We use analytics cookies to understand which pages are read most often, how long visitors stay, and where traffic originates. This data is aggregated and anonymised – we see patterns, not individuals. The information helps us decide which sections to expand and which topics to cover in greater depth.
Analytics cookies require your consent under UK law. If you decline them through our cookie banner, we will not track your journey across the site. Essential cookies – those needed to deliver the service you requested – do not require consent and remain active regardless of your choice.
Scripts we do not control
Certain third-party services embedded on our site – such as video players, social-media share buttons, or advertising platforms – may set their own cookies when you interact with them. We do not control those cookies, and they are governed by the third party's own privacy policy rather than ours.
Common third-party cookies on this portal include those from analytics providers (to measure traffic), advertising networks (to serve relevant promotions), and content-delivery networks (to speed up page loading). Each operates under its own terms, and you should review their policies if you wish to understand what data they collect.
Your options
You control cookies through two main routes: our consent banner, which appears when you first visit, and your browser settings.
Our banner lets you accept all cookies, reject optional ones, or choose category by category. Your choice is stored so we do not ask again on every visit. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's cookies for this site – the banner will reappear on your next visit, allowing you to make a fresh choice.
Browser controls let you block or delete cookies across all sites you visit. The process varies slightly by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear existing ones.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Choose standard, strict, or custom blocking, and clear data as needed.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy. You can block all cookies or only cross-site tracking cookies.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Block or allow by category, and view stored cookies by site.
Good to know: blocking all cookies may prevent some features from working. Our site remains readable without them, but you will lose preferences such as language choice or dismissed notices, and you will see the consent banner on every visit.
Revisions
We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our own practices. The date at the foot of this page shows when it was last revised. Significant changes – such as the introduction of a new category of tracking – will be announced through a notice on the homepage.
Continued use of the site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you disagree with a change, your option is to stop using the site or to adjust your cookie settings to block the category you object to.
Questions
If you have questions about how this portal uses cookies, or if you need help adjusting your browser settings, write to us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
