Cookie policy
This policy explains the small files used on the MIDDLETON HEARTLINE website and the choices available to you. Registered Charity No. 1128759.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is visited. Similar browser storage may also remember a preference without identifying a visitor directly.
Essential cookies
Essential storage is used to remember whether you accepted or declined optional analytics and to support core security, routing and form functions. These features are necessary for the website to operate and cannot be switched off through our banner.
Analytics cookies
If analytics are enabled, they may help us understand broad patterns such as popular pages, device types and how visitors find the site. We use this information to improve content and navigation, not to build advertising profiles. Analytics should be activated only after you choose “Accept analytics”.
Third-party services
Netlify hosts and delivers this website and may process technical request information needed for security, performance and form delivery. If Google Analytics is introduced, Google may set analytics cookies after consent. External links, social networks and map services have their own privacy and cookie practices when you visit them.
Managing preferences
You can choose “Essential only” in the cookie banner. You can also clear this site’s local storage and cookies in your browser to see the banner again. Browser controls can block or delete cookies, though blocking essential storage may affect site functions.
How long cookies last
Session cookies expire when the browser closes. Preference storage may remain until it is cleared so the website can remember your choice. Analytics retention settings, if used, are configured to avoid keeping identifiable information longer than necessary.
