Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — for example, whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice — so that you do not need to repeat that action on each page or return visit.

Cookies are widely used and are a normal part of how most websites function. This policy explains which cookies the Stovish website uses, what they do, and how you can control them.

2. How We Use Cookies

The Stovish website uses a minimal number of cookies. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information, to track your activity across other websites, or to serve advertising of any kind.

Our use of cookies falls into two categories: strictly necessary cookies, which the website requires in order to function, and optional analytics cookies, which we only place with your consent.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to operate. They do not collect information that could be used to track you across other websites. Because they are necessary, these cookies do not require your consent.

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Optional)

With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand in aggregate how visitors navigate the Stovish website. This helps us improve the clarity and usefulness of our programme information. No personally identifiable data is collected through analytics cookies.

Analytics cookies are only placed if you choose to accept them via the cookie notice. If you decline or dismiss the notice without accepting, no analytics cookies will be set.

4. What We Do Not Do

The Stovish website does not use cookies for any of the following purposes:

• Serving advertisements of any kind
• Tracking your activity across other websites or platforms
• Profiling your interests, browsing behaviour, or personal characteristics
• Collecting financial, health, or other sensitive personal data
• Sharing any data with third-party marketing or data broker organisations

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages of this website embed a Google Maps iframe to display our reading room location. Google may set its own cookies when this map is loaded. These cookies are governed by Google's Privacy Policy and are outside Stovish's control.

If you prefer not to receive Google Maps cookies, you can use the address below to find us directly rather than using the embedded map.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Withdrawing consent: If you previously accepted analytics cookies and wish to withdraw that consent, you can clear your browser's local storage and cookies for this website. The cookie notice will reappear on your next visit, allowing you to make a fresh choice.

Browser settings: Most modern browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. The following links may help:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, though it will not prevent you from using the Stovish website in any meaningful way.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. We will indicate the date of the most recent revision at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will notify enrolled participants by email.
