Cookie Choices

About this page

This Cookie Choices page explains how Lintel & Lantern — Hidden London Courtyards (“we”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It sets out what each cookie does, why we use it, and how you can accept or decline it. We follow UK data protection rules, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information between visits, such as preferences or login states, and can also help with analytics and performance. Some cookies are strictly necessary for a site to work. Others are optional and require your consent.

Our use of cookies

We aim to keep cookie use minimal. We use:

• Essential cookies — small data items that allow our cookie banner to function and remember your choice. Without these, your preferences could not be stored.
• Preference cookies — optional items that help remember form inputs or display settings you select. These only run with your consent.
• Analytics cookies — simple, aggregated measurements that count visits and page views. They help us see which parts of our site are useful. We do not build behavioural profiles.

We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site trackers.

Consent and control

On your first visit you will see a banner asking you to accept or decline cookies beyond those strictly necessary. You can change your decision at any time by reopening the banner or adjusting your browser settings. If you decline optional cookies, you will still be able to read all our guides. Some convenience features may not work (for example, remembering a form entry), but the main content remains available.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Each browser provides help pages.

Retention

Cookie lifespans vary. Some expire when you close your browser. Others last for a set period (e.g., 30 days) unless you delete them sooner. Our essential cookies usually expire within one year at the latest. You can clear them at any time in your browser.

Third-party services

Our site relies primarily on first-party cookies. If we use a third-party service (for example, to embed a map or to run lightweight analytics), that provider may set its own cookies. We review providers carefully and ensure appropriate data protection safeguards are in place.

Your rights

You have the right to choose whether to accept non-essential cookies. Declining will not block access to our notes. For more details on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Notice. You also have rights under UK GDPR to access, correct, or delete personal information linked to cookie data where applicable.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Choices page when our use of cookies changes or when laws require. Any new version will be posted here with a revised effective date.
