Cookie Notice

This notice explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It is a template and will be reviewed by Ashford’s legal counsel before it is finalised.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They help the website work and can tell the website owner how it is being used.

Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking tags, work in a comparable way. This notice covers them too, and we refer to all of them as cookies.

Some cookies are set by us. Others are set by third parties whose services we use, such as analytics providers.

Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary: needed for the website to work, load securely and remember your cookie choices. These are always on.

Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed and where people leave a form. We use these only with your consent where the law requires it.

Marketing: used to measure advertising or show relevant adverts on other websites. We use these only with your consent where the law requires it. [Whether marketing cookies are used to be confirmed.]

Third-party content: set by other services whose content appears on our pages, such as an embedded map.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies let the website and its forms work, and help protect them from misuse. They do not track you across other websites.

Because the website cannot work properly without them, they do not need your consent. You can block them in your browser, but some parts of the website may then stop working.

We use analytics to see which pages are useful, where visitors have difficulty, and how the eligibility assessment and contact forms are used. We look at this information in aggregate. We do not use it to identify you.

We may use tools such as Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager. [Analytics providers to be confirmed.]

Where the law requires consent, we ask for it before setting analytics or marketing cookies. You can change your choice at any time. [Cookie settings link to be confirmed.]

Content from other services

Some pages include content from other services, such as an embedded map on the contact page. These services may set their own cookies when you view or use that content, under their own policies.

If you click a WhatsApp link, WhatsApp opens under its own terms and privacy policy.

How to control cookies

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through our cookie settings, where available. [Cookie settings link to be confirmed.]

Most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies in their settings. The help pages for your browser explain how.

If you block all cookies, some parts of the website may not work as intended.

How long cookies last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a set period, or until you delete them.

The provider that sets each cookie decides how long it lasts. [A list of cookie names, providers and durations to be confirmed once analytics is configured.]

Changes and contact

We will update this notice if the cookies we use change.

For questions about cookies or your personal data, email [privacy contact email to be confirmed]. Our Privacy Notice (/privacy) has more detail.

Last updated: [date to be confirmed].
