This policy explains how The Hangleton & Knoll Project ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.hkproject.org.uk.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used, or come from services we embed.

Your choices

When you first visit, we ask whether you agree to optional cookies. Nothing optional is set unless you say yes. You can change your mind at any time using "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page, or here: Change my cookie settings. Your choice is saved on your device for 6 months, and we will ask again if we make significant changes to the cookies we use.

We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are useful and how people find us. Google processes this information on our behalf. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Embedded content (only with your consent)

Our contact and event pages show Google Maps, and some pages show YouTube videos. Until you allow "Embedded content", or click "Show Google Maps" or "Show YouTube", they are not loaded. Once loaded, Google may set its own cookies on google.com or youtube.com (for example NID, AEC and SOCS, lasting up to 13 months) and will see your IP address. Our videos use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com).

Links to other websites

Links to social media sites and partner organisations take you to those services, which have their own cookie policies. They do not set cookies on our website.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge. Blocking necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.
