Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how the St Philip’s Centre website uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Data Privacy Notice.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They can help a website function, remember choices, understand how visitors use the site and, where enabled, support embedded or third-party services.

Rules applying to cookies can also apply to similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.

2. Who operates this website?

The website is operated by St Philip’s Centre, Company No. 5657062 and Charity No. 1114686, of 2A Stoughton Drive North, Leicester, LE5 5UB.

3. Our website platform

This website is built and hosted using Squarespace. Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to operate securely and correctly. Depending on the features enabled on the website, additional cookies may also be used for preferences, analytics, embedded content or other services.

4. Types of cookies we may use

The website may use the following types of cookies and similar technologies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies support essential functions such as website security, network management, remembering your cookie preferences and enabling core website features. These cookies are generally necessary for the website to operate and do not require consent where the relevant legal exemption applies.

Functional and preference cookies

These cookies may be used to remember choices you make or to provide optional website functionality. Depending on their purpose and how they operate, your consent may be required before these cookies are used.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how people navigate around the site. This information can help us monitor performance and improve the website. Analytics and performance cookies will only be used where permitted by law and, where required, after you have provided your consent.

Third-party and embedded content cookies

Some pages may include content or functionality provided by other services, such as videos, maps, social media content or other integrations. These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded. Where consent is required, these technologies should not be activated until you have made an appropriate choice.

5. Cookie consent

Where consent is legally required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should not be set until you have made an appropriate choice. The website may display a Squarespace cookie banner or cookie preference panel that allows you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies.

You can change your choice later using the cookie preference controls made available on the website. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website works.

6. Third-party services

Some pages may include content or functionality supplied by third parties. These services may set their own cookies or use similar technologies. The exact services used can change as the website develops. Examples may include video players, maps, social media content, mailing-list tools, booking services, donation or payment services.

Where a third-party service requires non-essential cookies or tracking technologies, it should be configured so that these are not activated until the required consent has been obtained.

7. Cookies currently in use

The precise cookies used on a Squarespace website depend on the Squarespace features and third-party integrations that are enabled. For that reason, this section should be checked against the live website before publication and whenever new integrations are added.

Before launch, St Philip’s Centre should review the live site’s cookie inventory and, if appropriate, add a table here identifying each non-essential cookie or technology, its provider, purpose and duration. Squarespace’s cookie controls should also be configured to reflect the technologies actually in use.

8. How long cookies remain on your device

Some cookies last only for the duration of your browsing session, while others remain for a set period or until they are deleted. Retention periods vary according to the cookie and the service that sets it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, services, legal requirements or use of cookies changes. The latest revision date appears at the top of this document.
