Cookie policy
What this website stores on your device, why, and how to control it.
Version 1.0 · Last updated 26 July 2026 · Next review July 2027
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels and embedded scripts) do much the same job. This policy covers all of them.
2. What we use on capegoldcare.co.uk
We keep this site deliberately light. The pages are static HTML and CSS with a small amount of JavaScript that runs in your browser only. We do not load fonts, scripts or images from third-party networks, so no third party sees your visit simply because you opened a page.
| Category | What it does | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps the site working: security, load balancing and remembering a choice you have just made, such as dismissing a banner. Set by us or by our hosting provider. | No, these are exempt because the site cannot work without them |
| Analytics | Counts visits and shows which pages are used, so we can improve them. We do not use analytics that identify you personally. | Yes, only set if you agree |
| Embedded forms | If an application or staff request form is embedded from Microsoft Forms, that service may set its own cookies while you complete the form. | Yes, only loaded if you agree, or when you choose to open the form |
| Advertising and tracking | None. We do not run advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. | Not applicable |
At the time of publication this website sets no analytics or advertising cookies. If that changes we will update this page, list the specific cookies and their lifetimes, and ask for your consent before anything non-essential is set.
3. How we ask for consent
Non-essential cookies are only set if you agree. Where a consent banner is shown, rejecting is as easy as accepting, nothing non-essential loads until you choose, and you can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser and reloading the page.
4. Forms on this website
The application and staff request forms send what you type to Capegold Care so we can respond. They do not track you across other websites. Both forms include a hidden anti-spam field that is never sent to us and never records anything about you, it exists purely to catch automated submissions.
What happens to the information you submit is set out in our privacy policy.
5. Controlling cookies in your browser
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working. Help pages for the common browsers are found under “Privacy and security” in the browser's own settings menu.
Most browsers also offer a “do not track” setting. We do not track you, so there is nothing for it to switch off here.
6. Server logs
Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, which typically record the page requested, the date and time, the browser type and an IP address. These are used to keep the site secure and available, are not used to build a profile of you, and are kept for a short period before deletion.
