Cookie policy

Cookies are small files a website can place on a device. Websites can also use similar browser storage to remember a choice or support a feature. Some storage is essential for a service to work. Optional storage must remain off until an appropriate choice has been made.

This website uses essential technical storage and security features needed to deliver pages, protect forms and remember your privacy choice. The privacy choice is stored for this website only and is tied to its current analytics configuration. It is not shared with other Fox by the Lake client websites. Essential storage cannot be switched off through the privacy panel because the requested website service would otherwise not work correctly.

The website stores a tenant-specific record in browser local storage with a name beginning tenant-cookie-consent-v2. It records whether analytics was allowed, the website and analytics configuration it belongs to, the policy version, when the choice was made and when it expires. When you choose essential-only, a small tenant-specific first-party denial cookie may also be used so an older analytics choice cannot be restored if local storage becomes read-only. These records are kept for up to 180 days unless you change the choice or clear browser data sooner.

Optional Google Analytics measurement is configured for this website through Google Tag Manager. These services load only after a visitor allows analytics. Analytics permission is remembered across pages on this website, including its blog, until it expires, you clear browser data, the analytics configuration changes, or you change the choice yourself. Advertising and remarketing permission is not granted by the website's analytics choice.

Google Tag Manager is a delivery system and does not itself normally set analytics cookies, but the tags it delivers may do so. If optional Google measurement is configured and allowed, common Google Analytics identifiers can include _ga, _ga_<container>, _gid, _gat and related variants. Google may process device, browser, page, interaction and approximate-location information to provide usage reports. Exact names and retention can change with the configured tags and Google services. The website operator is responsible for reviewing every tag added to its container and updating this policy before using any additional purpose or provider.

The Barn Ruche location section offers an interactive Google map. The map is not loaded automatically. It contacts Google only after you choose to load it, and Google may then receive device and usage information or use its own storage under its terms. You can use the separate directions link instead.

Use the Privacy & cookies control on the website to review the choice at any time. Choosing essential-only use updates Google Consent Mode, prevents optional measurement from loading on later pages and removes common accessible Google Analytics cookies where possible. You can also clear cookies and site data in your browser. Storage controlled directly by another provider may need to be managed through that provider or your browser.

This policy should be reviewed whenever a tag, embed, analytics service or retention period changes. The current generated template is version 2026-09-02, effective 2 September 2026. Questions can be sent to bookings@barnruche.co.uk.
