How we use cookies

Last updated:

Cumbria Pole Art is an information portal about pole dance fitness. This page explains what cookies are, which ones this site sets, what third-party scripts run here, and how you can control them through your browser.

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. It helps the site remember your choices between visits — things like your language preference or whether you have closed a notice. Cookies do not access other files on your device, and they cannot run programmes.

This portal uses cookies to understand how people navigate the site and to improve the experience. No cookie on this site identifies you personally.

The cookies we set

The portal sets session cookies to keep track of your journey through the pages. These expire when you close your browser. We also use analytics cookies to count visits and see which articles are read most often. These stay on your device for up to two years unless you delete them sooner.

We do not set cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites.

Third-party scripts we do not control

Some features on this site — video embeds, maps or analytics tools — are hosted by other organisations. When you load a page that carries one of these, the third party may set its own cookies. We do not control what those scripts do or what data they collect.

The third parties whose tools appear on this site include analytics platforms and content-delivery networks. Each has its own privacy policy, published on its own domain.

Turning cookies off without breaking the site

Every modern browser lets you refuse cookies or delete the ones already stored. The setting is usually found under Privacy or Security in your browser's menu. Set it to block third-party cookies, or to block all cookies if you prefer.

Blocking cookies will not stop you reading the articles on this portal. A few conveniences — remembered preferences, embedded videos — may stop working, but the text and images remain accessible.

When this page changes

We update this cookie policy when we add or remove a third-party service, or when the law asks us to say something new. The revised version appears here as soon as it takes effect. We do not send individual notices of changes.

If you have a question about how cookies work on this site, write to [email protected].

This is an information site. We do not sell any goods or services.
