Cookies Policy
Our Cookies Policy in brief
This Cookies Policy explains how Aberporth Bilingual Playgroup uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Some are essential and make the website work, while others help us understand how the site is used or remember your choices. You are always in control: you can accept all cookies, reject the optional ones or choose categories one by one.
We keep optional cookies to a minimum and we never use them to identify individual children or families. The full cookie register below lists each cookie by name, purpose and how long it lasts. You can return to this page at any time to review or change your consent using the Manage your choices controls.
To learn more about how cookies work and how to manage them in your browser, visit the Information Commissioner’s Office guide to cookies. For details of how we handle personal information, please read our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, or contact us with any questions about this Cookies Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently and to give website owners information about how a site is being used. A cookie cannot read other files on your device, and it cannot run programs or carry viruses. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others stay on your device for a set period so that the website can recognise you when you return.
Why we use cookies
Aberporth Bilingual Playgroup is a small childcare charity, and our website exists to help families find out about us. We use essential cookies so that pages load properly and your consent choices are remembered. We only use other cookies if you allow them, and only to understand how the website is used so that we can improve it. We do not use cookies to build profiles of children, and we do not sell information collected through cookies.
Types of cookies
Most websites use a mix of four types of cookie. Strictly necessary cookies are needed for the website to function and cannot be switched off. Preference cookies remember choices such as your language. Statistics cookies help us count visits and see which pages are most useful, without identifying you personally. Marketing cookies are used by some services to show advertising, and you can decline them at any time. The cookie register shows exactly which cookies this website uses and what each one does.
Managing cookies in your browser
As well as using our consent controls, you can manage cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you see which cookies are stored, delete them and block them from some or all websites. Please remember that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of a website from working properly. You can find step-by-step guidance for every major browser at aboutcookies.org.uk, and the ICO explains your rights in plain English.
Cookies and children
Our website is written for parents, carers and families rather than for children. If a child uses a shared device to look at our website, the same choices apply. We recommend that an adult reviews the consent options and uses the privacy controls built into the device, especially if several people share it.
Changes to this Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy when we change the website, add a new service or when the law changes. The latest version is always on this page, and we ask for your consent again whenever we introduce a new type of cookie. You can review or change your choices at any time using the Manage your choices controls below.
This Cookies Policy works together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Where a cookie collects personal information, the Privacy Policy explains how we handle it, and where you have a question about how the website may be used, the Terms and Conditions will help. We review this Cookies Policy whenever we make a significant change to the website, and we keep the cookie register accurate so that you can always see what is in use. If anything in this Cookies Policy is unclear, please ask us and we will be glad to explain it in plain English, in Welsh or in English.
If you withdraw your consent, the optional cookies that were already set will stop being used, and you can ask your browser to delete any that remain on your device. Declining optional cookies will never stop you from reading our pages, finding our address and phone number or sending an enquiry. We want every family to be able to find out about our childcare easily, so the website works fully whichever choices you make, and the decision always remains yours.
In short, our Cookies Policy is about giving you clear information and real choice. We keep our Cookies Policy short, honest and up to date, and we ask you to read the Cookies Policy whenever you want to check or change what is stored on your device.
