Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Some cookies are essential for the site to function, while others help us understand how visitors use the site.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use a small number of cookies to ensure the website works correctly and, with your consent, to understand how visitors interact with it. We do not use cookies for advertising or profiling purposes.
3. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| padharo_consent | Stores your cookie preferences | 1 year |
| padharo_popup_dismissed | Remembers if you closed the newsletter popup | 30 days |
| padharo_popup_subscribed | Remembers if you subscribed to the newsletter | Persistent |
| Language preference | Remembers your chosen language | Session |
Analytics Cookies (Require Your Consent)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting anonymised information. They are only set after you give explicit consent via our cookie banner.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years | Google Analytics |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state | 2 years | Google Analytics |
Third-Party Cookies
The Google Maps embed on our homepage may set cookies from google.com domains when the map is displayed. These are used by Google to deliver the map service. Our newsletter signup form is provided by Mailchimp, which may set cookies when you submit the form. Cloudflare, our hosting provider, may set security cookies (such as __cf_bm) for bot protection purposes - these are strictly necessary and do not require consent.
4. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit our site, a cookie banner will appear at the bottom of the page giving you the option to accept or manage cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Manage Cookies" in the footer of any page.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how the website functions.
5. Your Consent
Analytics cookies are only placed on your device after you have given explicit consent via our cookie banner. If you do not consent, these cookies will not be set and the website will continue to function normally.
We use Google Consent Mode, which means our analytics script loads on every page but operates in a restricted mode until you give consent. In this restricted mode, no cookies are set on your device and no personally identifiable information is stored. Google receives only basic, cookieless signals (such as the page visited and your general browser type) that it uses to produce aggregated, modelled statistics. These signals do not contain any personal identifiers and cannot be used to track individual visitors. Full analytics tracking (including the cookies listed above) only activates after you explicitly accept via our cookie banner.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
