Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Cheshire Showcase uses, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have accepted our cookie notice.

2. Cookies We Use

We use two categories of cookies:

CookieTypePurposeDuration
c2_analytics_consentEssentialStores your cookie consent preference so we don't ask again1 year
_scc_*AnalyticsTracks page views and interactions to help us improve the site (only set with consent)Session / 1 year
_gaAnalyticsGoogle Analytics — distinguishes unique users (only set with consent)2 years
_ga_*AnalyticsGoogle Analytics — maintains session state (only set with consent)2 years

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They do not require your consent under UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations). The consent preference cookie (c2_analytics_consent) falls into this category — it simply remembers your choice so we don't ask you again on every visit.

4. Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website — which pages are most popular, how long people stay, and where they come from. This helps us improve the site and the content we provide.

Analytics cookies are only placed on your device if you click Accept on our cookie banner. If you click Decline, no analytics cookies are set.

5. Managing Your Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:

  • Change your consent — click the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page to reopen the consent banner.
  • Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.
  • Opt-out tools — you can opt out of analytics tracking via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

6. Third-Party Cookies

We use Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*) which are only placed on your device if you accept our cookie banner. Google may process this data in accordance with their own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy. We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies or social media tracking pixels. If this changes, we will update this policy and request fresh consent where required.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
