Cookie Policy
This policy explains the website’s current use of cookies and similar browser storage, including what is not used by the public front-end.
1. What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how browser cookies and similar local storage technologies may be used in connection with the Ivorquellavessia website. It should be read with the Privacy Policy, which explains broader handling of personal information.
2. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text record that a website can ask a browser to store and return on later requests. Cookies can support functions such as keeping a session consistent, remembering a preference, protecting forms or measuring how a service is used. Other browser storage methods can perform related functions without being identical to cookies.
3. What this website currently uses
The current public front-end is designed without non-essential advertising cookies, cross-site profiling technology or externally loaded analytics scripts. The navigation menu and enquiry-form confirmation work through local page scripts and do not require an advertising identifier.
The website may still be delivered through normal hosting infrastructure that produces essential technical request logs or uses strictly necessary security mechanisms. Those functions are not used by Ivorquellavessia to build unrelated advertising profiles.
4. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
These support a function that is required to provide a service you request, maintain security or operate the site. Where a strictly necessary cookie is required, it may not be practical to disable it without affecting the requested function.
Preferences
These can remember a choice such as display or interface preference. The current public website does not intentionally set a separate preference cookie.
Measurement
These can help a site understand aggregate usage and performance. The current front-end does not load a third-party measurement library.
Advertising or cross-site profiling
These can be used to follow activity across services or tailor advertising. The current website does not intentionally use this category.
5. Consent where required
If the website is changed in the future to use non-essential cookies that require consent under applicable law, those cookies should not be activated for affected users until the required choice has been obtained. Any consent mechanism should explain the relevant categories and allow a user to refuse non-essential storage as easily as reasonably possible.
6. Browser controls
Most browsers provide settings to view, block or delete cookies and site data. The exact controls depend on the browser and device. Blocking all site storage can affect functions on websites that rely on it, so users should consider whether they want to remove all storage or only storage from a particular site.
7. Enquiry form
The public enquiry form is intended to record the information a visitor submits and display a normal confirmation message. Its front-end interaction does not require a marketing cookie. Information submitted through the form is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
8. Server logs and cookies are not the same thing
A hosting server can record a request even when no optional cookie is stored. Request logs may include technical information such as the requested page, time, browser characteristics or network information and can be used for reliability and security. The Privacy Policy explains the club’s approach to technical information more generally.
9. Future third-party services
If a future site feature requires a third-party service, the club will assess whether that service stores or reads cookies or similar identifiers. Where a non-essential service requires consent, the relevant notice and control should be implemented before the service is activated for users who are entitled to that choice.
