Any Google Map on the Contacts page sets cookies related to the location of our Memorial Hall.

Anonymous Visitor Statistics Cookies

We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn’t working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called ‘analytics’ programs also tell us if, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before, recently.

We may at times use WP-Statisics to collect such anonymous data.

Turning Cookies Off

You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies. We suggest consulting the Help section of your browser or taking a look here which offers guidance for all modern browsers. Doing so however will likely limit the functionality of our’s and a large proportion of the world’s websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites

It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so-called “spyware”. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
