Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 15 May 2025

Cookies are small text files that websites store in your browser to help them function and to gather useful information about how they are used. This page explains what cookies Embergrove uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences — both here and through your browser settings.

01What Are Cookies?

When you visit a website, it may ask your browser to store a small file — a cookie — on your device. When you return to the same site, the browser sends that file back, allowing the site to remember your previous visit.

Cookies are used for a variety of purposes: keeping you signed in, remembering your preferences, helping website owners understand how visitors navigate their pages, and serving relevant content.

Cookies do not contain your personal documents or files, and cannot execute code on your device. They are simply small pieces of text that websites read back when you return.

02Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always active

These are necessary for the site to work. Without them, features such as form submissions and your consent preferences cannot be saved. They cannot be disabled.

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration
cookieConsent	Stores your cookie preference selections	1 year
session_id	Maintains your session while browsing	Session

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These help us understand which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. Data is collected in aggregate and is not linked to any individual. We use this to improve the content and structure of our website over time.

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration
_ga	Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors	2 years
_ga_*	Google Analytics — session state	1 year

Marketing Cookies

Optional

These are used to track visits across websites to help us understand the reach of our content. They may be set by advertising or social platforms. We do not use these cookies to serve personalised ads on our own site.

Preference Cookies

Optional

These remember choices you make while using our site — such as your region or display preferences — so you do not need to re-enter them on return visits.

03Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by services embedded in our website. These are operated by third parties and are subject to their own privacy and cookie policies:

Google Analytics — website usage measurement (analytics cookies)
Google Maps — embedded map on our contact page (functional, may set session cookies)

We do not have direct control over cookies set by third-party services. Disabling optional cookies in your preferences below will reduce the use of third-party analytics cookies where we are able to apply that choice.

04Your Cookie Preferences

Use the controls below to set your preferences. Your choices are saved in your browser and will be remembered on your next visit. Essential cookies cannot be turned off as they are required for the site to function.

05Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. The steps vary slightly between browsers:

Go to Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data.

06Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time using the controls on this page or through your browser settings.

Please be aware that disabling certain optional cookies may affect your experience on our site. Analytics cookies, for example, help us understand what content is useful — without them we rely on less precise signals to guide improvements.

For questions about how we handle your data more broadly, please see our Privacy Policy.
