Cookies Policy for Cruden Bay Life

Last Updated: 22 August 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how Cruden Bay Life (accessible at https://crudenbay.life/) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website.

In line with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, we believe in being clear and transparent about how we collect and use data related to you.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and send information to the website owners.

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are deleted once you close your web browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

2. How We Use Cookies

Our WordPress website uses cookies for several distinct purposes:

A. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as:

  • Logging into administrative or editor accounts on the WordPress backend.
  • Filling in contact, registration, or correction forms.
  • Remembering your cookie preferences.

B. Functional Cookies (WordPress Standard)

If you interact with certain parts of our site (for example, if you are a logged-in contributor or administrator), WordPress will set cookies to remember your login details and screen display preferences. This ensures you do not have to re-enter your details every time you visit.

C. Analytical / Performance Cookies

We may use lightweight web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to help us understand how visitors interact with the Cruden Bay Life hub. These cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including:

  • The number of visitors to the website.
  • Where visitors have come to the website from.
  • The specific pages they visit on our site.

This data helps us understand what community content is most useful and where we can make improvements.

D. Third-Party Embedded Cookies

To make our website interactive and full of local culture, we occasionally embed content from external platforms, such as:

  • Interactive maps (e.g., Google Maps to show business locations).
  • Videos (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo links celebrating Cruden Bay heritage or local events).
  • Social media feeds (e.g., Facebook widgets).

These third-party services may set their own cookies on your device when you view their embedded content. We do not control these cookies, so we recommend checking the respective third-party privacy and cookie policies for more information.

3. How to Manage and Block Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

  • Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit Cruden Bay Life, you will see a cookie banner prompting you to accept or manage your preferences.
  • Browser Settings: You can configure or change your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject strictly necessary cookies, you can still use our website, though some areas or features may not load correctly.

4. Updates to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies.
