Cookie policy

What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a short text file that the site you are visiting places in your browser; it lets the site remember a setting or a decision you have made. Browsers provide similar mechanisms, in particular local storage, which keeps small entries until they are removed. This policy treats them in the same way.

Which cookies this website uses

Only a few entries are needed to run this website, which presents information and contact details rather than an account area or an online shop. Strictly necessary entries keep the pages usable and secure and include any value that remembers a decision about a cookie notice; for them no consent is required under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

One of these entries is a cookie set by the server that delivers the pages. It holds a random identifier, no name or contact details, and lets the server recognise a browser that comes back, so that one visit is handled as one and automated misuse can be turned away. It is renewed with each visit and expires 30 days after the last one.

Cookies set by other providers

No external content with cookies of its own is integrated at present. Should an embedded map or video be used in future, its provider may store information on your device as soon as the content is displayed, and this page would be amended before such an element is published.

Withdrawing your consent and deleting cookies

You can change your decision at any time: remove this website's stored data in the settings of your browser and reload a page; the earlier value is then gone and a new answer replaces it when you are next asked. Browsers also let you manage cookies yourself, usually in the privacy area of the settings, where entries can be reviewed, removed or refused, for one site or for all of them.

Advertising, tracking and personal data

There are no advertising or retargeting cookies here and no tracking across websites, and we do not build profiles of visitors. Entries that can be connected to a person count as personal data; the privacy policy of newsverto sets out why they are used, how long they are kept and what your rights are.

Storage periods

Session entries disappear when the browser window is closed, while others are given a set lifetime so that a preference survives until you come back. The answer saved by the cookie notice does not expire and remains until you or your browser remove it.

How your choice is recorded

Where a cookie notice is displayed, the only thing it saves is your answer, agreement or refusal, as one value in the local storage of the browser you are using (localStorage), after which it stays hidden. It appears again in a different browser or on a different device, and wherever storage is blocked.

Updates to this policy and questions

We review this policy when the website changes, when new functions are added or when the rules develop; only the version on this page applies, and the date at the top shows its last revision. Questions can be sent to newsverto at hello@newsverto.info or asked by telephone on 01962 840317.
