This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones are used on this website (“the Site”), and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.
The Site is a simple informational website. It does not include forms, comments, or user accounts, so we do not use cookies for logging you in, remembering form entries, or tracking your activity for marketing purposes. We have also not added any analytics or advertising tools beyond what WordPress installs by default.
The cookies that may be set when you visit the Site fall into two categories:
WordPress (the software that runs this Site) does not set cookies for ordinary visitors browsing the Site. It only sets cookies in situations that don’t apply to regular visitors here, such as:
Because the Site has no comment forms or user registration, the cookies WordPress would normally set for those features (e.g. comment author cookies) are not used, as those features are switched off.
Our [Contact/Location] page embeds a Google Map to show where the pre-school is. When the map loads, Google may set its own cookies and collect data such as your IP address, independently of us, in line with Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Cookie Policy. We do not control these cookies.
The Site uses Google Fonts to display certain typefaces. When you visit the Site, your browser may connect directly to Google’s servers to download these fonts. This means your IP address and browser information are shared with Google in order to serve the correct font files, in line with Google’s Privacy Policy. Google Fonts does not typically set cookies in your browser through this process, but it does still involve a connection to, and data being sent to, a third-party (Google) server each time the Site is loaded.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WordPress admin/session cookies | westberepreschool.org (WordPress) | Only set for logged-in site administrators; not set for public visitors | Strictly necessary | Session / until logout |
| Google Maps cookies (e.g. NID, 1P_JAR, etc.) | google.com (third party) | Set by the embedded map; used by Google for its own purposes (e.g. preferences, possibly analytics/advertising) | Third-party | Varies — set by Google |
| Google Fonts connection | fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com (third party) | Loads typefaces used on the Site; no cookie is typically set, but your IP address is shared with Google when fonts are downloaded | Third-party resource (not a cookie) | N/A |
Note: exact third-party cookie names and durations are controlled by Google and may change without our involvement.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
Note that blocking cookies (particularly for the embedded Google Map) may mean the map does not display correctly, but the rest of the Site’s content will still be accessible.
Guides for managing cookies in common browsers:
If we ever add new features to the Site that use additional cookies (for example, analytics tools), we will update this policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent first.
