This policy explains how arthros.org.uk uses cookies and similar technologies. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your choices, or to collect information about how a site is used. “Similar technologies” includes anything else that stores or reads information on your device for the same kinds of purpose.
We want to respect your privacy, so we keep cookies to a minimum.
To understand how our website is used, we use our own privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics. This measures things like which pages are visited and which link or campaign brought people to the site (for example a UTM link), but it does so without storing cookies on your device and without identifying you as an individual. The information is aggregated and anonymous.
We use only strictly necessary cookies — the small number of cookies needed to make the website work and keep it secure. These may include cookies that:
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent, because the website cannot work properly without them. We do not use any cookies that would require a consent banner.
(The exact strictly necessary cookies depend on the tools running on the site at any time. If we ever add anything that stores non-essential information on your device, we will update this policy and introduce a consent option first.)
Some pages may link to or include content from other organisations — for example JustGiving (for donations) or our suppliers. If you click through to those websites, they may set their own cookies. We do not control those cookies. Please see the cookie and privacy policies of any website you visit.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, and set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the website from working properly. Guidance for common browsers is available at aboutcookies.org.
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the effective date shown at the top.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at admin@arthros.org.uk.
