Cookies Policy

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on castelmerfarm.co.uk. We keep them to the minimum, and we do not use any cookies for analytics, advertising or tracking.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage in your browser, work in much the same way. They are widely used to make websites work, and to keep them secure.

The cookies we use

We only use cookies that are strictly necessary to keep the site secure and its enquiry forms working. Under UK rules, cookies of this kind do not require your consent, but we list them here in full so you know exactly what is set.

Security and anti-spam

• __cf_bm — set by Cloudflare, our website’s security and content-delivery provider. It helps tell genuine visitors apart from automated bots. It lasts about 30 minutes. Cloudflare privacy.
• Google reCAPTCHA (for example _GRECAPTCHA) — set by Google to protect our enquiry forms from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA assesses whether a submission is likely to be from a person or an automated tool. Your use of it is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms.

Remembering your choices

• Cookie notice — when you dismiss our cookie notice, we store a small flag in your browser’s local storage so we do not show it to you again. This stays on your device until you clear it and is never sent to us or anyone else.

We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics, and there are no advertising, social-media or marketing cookies on this site. If we add anything of that kind in future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.

Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and set your browser to block them. Because the cookies above are essential to security and to the enquiry forms, blocking them may stop parts of the site working properly. Guidance for common browsers is available at aboutcookies.org.

For how we handle the personal information you send us, see our Privacy Policy.
