1. Who we are
This Cookies Policy explains how Westcott Cricket Club (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you use https://westcottcc.com (the “Website”).
For information about how we use personal data more generally (eg membership details), please see our Privacy Notice.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work (or work more efficiently), and to provide information to the website operator.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
- Persistent cookies (kept for a set period, unless you delete them sooner).
3. Similar technologies
In addition to cookies, some features may use similar technologies that store or access information on your device (for example, local storage, tracking pixels, scripts/tags, or device fingerprinting).
We refer to these collectively as “cookies” in this policy for simplicity.
4. Why we use cookies
A) Strictly necessary (essential) cookies
These cookies are needed to run the Website and the member login area securely (for example: to keep you logged in, maintain sessions, prevent fraud, or protect against security threats).
You cannot switch off strictly necessary cookies using our cookie controls because the Website may not function properly.
B) Preferences / functionality cookies (optional)
These cookies remember choices you make (for example, language or region, or other interface preferences) to improve your experience.
C) Analytics / performance cookies (optional)
These cookies help us understand how the Website is used (eg which pages are visited most, errors encountered) so we can improve it.
We will only set these cookies if you choose to enable them in our cookie settings.
D) Marketing / advertising cookies (optional)
These cookies may be used to measure marketing effectiveness or show you relevant content or advertisements on other websites.
We will only set these cookies if you choose to enable them in our cookie settings.
5. Cookie consent and your choices
When we ask for consent
Where required, we provide you with clear information about cookies and ask for your choice before placing any cookies that are not strictly necessary.
Consent must be an active choice (for example clicking “Accept” or selecting categories). Silence, inactivity, or continuing to browse does not count as consent.
