Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, including scripts and local storage, may also remember preferences, protect forms, measure website use or support core functionality. In this policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as cookies.

2. How we use cookies

Hamilton House uses cookies and similar technologies only for legitimate website purposes, including:

• operating, securing and administering the website;
• remembering your consent preferences;
• supporting forms and preventing misuse;
• understanding page visits and interactions; and
• improving website performance and user experience.

3. Categories

Essential cookies. These support security, consent preferences and core website functions. The website may not operate correctly without them.

Analytics cookies. Subject to consent where required, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager help us understand aggregated website activity, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, and interactions with forms or contact links.

Marketing cookies. Hamilton House does not currently use the website to create advertising profiles. If marketing technologies are introduced, the consent controls and this policy will be updated before they are used where required.

4. Third-party services

Website hosting, WordPress, Complianz, Fluent Forms and Google analytics services may process technical information necessary to provide their functions. When you choose an external contact link, such as WhatsApp, that service operates under its own terms and privacy practices.

5. Consent and choices

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies are used only after you make a choice through the consent banner. You may accept, reject or adjust available categories. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings, although blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before withdrawal. Previously stored cookies may remain until they expire or you delete them through your browser.

6. Retention

Cookie retention varies according to purpose and provider. Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others remain for a limited period to remember preferences or provide analytics. We review our use of cookies and retain related information only as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose or applicable legal requirements.

7. Personal-data rights

Information linked to an identifiable person is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or cessation of certain processing, and may withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

8. Updates

We may update this policy when our website, providers or legal requirements change. The current version and its effective date will be published on this page.
