1. About this Cookie Policy
City of David Cambridge uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and protect this website, remember certain choices, understand how the website is used where appropriate, and provide features requested by visitors.
Some technologies are necessary for the website to function and may be used without consent where permitted by law. Other technologies are used only where an appropriate legal exception applies or after the visitor has made the required choice through our cookie controls.
This Cookie Policy explains the technologies we use, their purposes and the choices available to you.
For information about how City of David Cambridge handles personal information more generally, please read our Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small pieces of information that a website may store on a browser or device and access again during or after a visit.
The law also applies to other technologies that store information on, or access information from, a visitor’s device. These can include local storage, pixels, scripts, tags and similar technologies.
For simplicity, this policy may refer to these collectively as “cookies” unless a distinction is useful.
3. How we use them
City of David Cambridge may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- provide core website functionality;
- protect the website and prevent misuse;
- remember visitor choices;
- operate forms, payments or requested services where applicable;
- understand website usage where legally permitted;
- display or enable third-party content; and
- support other functionality described in the current cookie and service information in section 5.
The technologies in use at any particular time are shown in the current cookie and service information in section 5 below.
4. Types of cookies and technologies
Our cookie controls group technologies into the categories below. Which categories are relevant at any time depends on the services active on the website, as shown in the current information in section 5.
Necessary / Functional
Used where needed to provide functions requested by the visitor, maintain security, remember your cookie choices or operate the site. These are always active and do not need to be switched on.
Preferences
Used to remember or apply choices relating to the website’s appearance or functionality, where applicable.
Statistics / Analytics
Used to understand how the website is used. Whether prior consent is required for a particular technology depends on its actual purpose and on whether an applicable legal exception under UK law can genuinely be relied on. Our cookie controls currently ask visitors for a choice for this category.
At the date of this policy, our most recent review did not identify a website analytics service installed on this website.
Marketing / Tracking
Used for advertising, profiling or tracking across websites or services, where applicable. Technologies in this category require your consent before they are used. Our cookie configuration does not include advertising cookies or first-party marketing cookies.
Some embedded third-party services, such as embedded maps, are classed in this category by our consent tool because the provider may use technologies for these purposes. Embedded Google Maps content is held back until you make a choice for this category.
5. Current cookies and services
The list below is generated automatically by our cookie-consent tool from scans of this website, so it reflects the services currently recorded. Select a service to see what it is used for, how it shares data, and the names, purposes and durations of its cookies or storage.
If a description is marked as pending, it is still being completed. If you notice something that looks wrong or missing, please contact us.
6. Third-party and embedded content
Some pages on our website use content or services provided by other organisations. When these are loaded, the provider may use cookies or similar technologies and may receive information such as your IP address and browser details. Services we have identified include:
- Google Maps – maps shown on pages such as Contact and New Here. The map is held back until you make a choice for the relevant category in our cookie controls.
- Google reCAPTCHA – used on our contact form to help protect it from spam and abuse. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
- YouTube – sermon pages embed videos hosted by YouTube (Google). When a video is loaded, YouTube may use cookies or similar technologies under Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts – our website loads fonts from these providers, which involves your browser contacting their servers.
- PayPal – if you choose to pay through PayPal, for example when giving online, the payment is completed on PayPal’s own site under PayPal’s privacy statement.
- Social media – our website links to our Facebook, Instagram and YouTube pages. Those services have their own privacy and cookie policies.
These providers process information under their own privacy policies, which we do not control. We encourage you to read them.
7. Your choices and consent
You can use our cookie banner and cookie preferences to choose which categories of technology we may use. Where consent is required, we ask for a positive choice. We do not treat scrolling, continued browsing or inactivity as consent.
Some technologies are strictly necessary to provide the website or a service you have asked for, or to remember your cookie choices. Where we rely on a legal exception rather than consent, we explain this in this policy.
You can accept, reject or customise the categories that require a choice, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time. Choosing to reject non-essential technologies will not stop you using the website, although some embedded content may not be shown.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including deleting cookies that are already stored.
8. Managing or changing your preferences
You can review, change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time. Use the button below to reopen our cookie settings, or the “Manage consent” tab where it appears on your device.
YOUR CHOICES
Manage your cookie preferences
You can review or change your cookie choices at any time using our cookie settings.
If you withdraw consent for a category, technologies in that category will stop being used, and some may be removed from your device.
9. How long cookies remain
Different cookies and storage technologies remain on a device for different periods. Some operate only for the current browsing session, while others remain for a defined period so that a preference or function can be remembered. Where available, the current duration of individual cookies is shown in the cookie information above.
10. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technology, service providers or legal requirements change.
Where our use of cookies or similar technologies changes in a way that requires a new choice from visitors, we will update our consent mechanism as appropriate.
The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when this policy was most recently revised.
