This page explains what cookies are, which ones we set, and how you can manage or remove them.
This Cookie Policy explains how Alderwick House Auckland uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. As a physical hospitality and entertainment provider, we use these digital tools primarily to improve the functionality of our site and to understand how visitors interact with our online presence. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. We prioritize your privacy and ensure that all data collected through cookies is handled responsibly.
Definition of Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, such as your language choice or login details. Cookies can be persistent, meaning they remain on your device after you close your browser, or session-based, which are deleted once the browser is closed. We use both types to provide a consistent and efficient user experience.
Categories of cookies we use
We group cookies by purpose. Each category serves a specific function and has different retention rules.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas like the booking inquiry form. Without these cookies, certain services you have asked for cannot be provided. They do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often. This data is aggregated and anonymous, helping us to improve how the website works and to enhance the content we provide. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure the performance of our site.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred region or language, and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they may be used to remember the age verification status in your local storage so you do not have to confirm your age on every visit. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
In some cases, we may use cookies provided by trusted third parties, such as map providers for our location page or analytics services. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with their content on our site. We do not have direct control over these cookies, and we recommend that you check the privacy policies of these third-party providers for more information.
Age verification and local storage
In addition to cookies, we use localStorage to store your age verification confirmation for 30 days. This is a technical requirement to ensure that you do not have to repeatedly confirm you are 18 or older while navigating information about our physical venue. This data is stored on your device and is not transmitted to our servers for any other purpose.
Days retained
Your age confirmation is stored locally for 30 days, after which you will be asked to confirm again.
Device-only storage
The data never leaves your browser. It is not sent to our servers, sold, or shared with third parties.
Clear at any time
You can clear your local storage through your browser's privacy settings at any point.
Managing your cookie preferences
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can choose to block all cookies, allow only certain types, or be notified when a cookie is being set. Please note that if you choose to block all cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of our website or some features may not function correctly.
Detailed information on how to manage cookies in popular browsers can be found in the browser's help menu.
