Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Stourbridge BID ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a site. They help the site function, remember your choices, and allow us to understand how people use our pages.
Types of cookies we use
1) Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to work properly. For example, remembering your cookie preferences and providing basic security. These cookies don’t store personally identifiable information.
2) Analytics cookies (optional)
With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. Analytics cookies may collect information such as the pages you visit, how long you spend on the site, and how you arrived here. The data is aggregated and we do not use it to identify you.
Analytics cookies are off by default. They only run if you consent via our cookie banner or the button below.
You can update your choices at any time.
How long cookies last
Strictly necessary cookies usually last only for your browsing session or a short period afterwards. Analytics cookies can last up to 2 years (set by Google), unless you clear them sooner in your browser.
Controlling cookies
You can manage cookies in two ways:
- Use the Cookie settings control on our site (bottom-right) to turn analytics on or off.
- Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Doing so may affect how some features work.
Google Analytics and Consent Mode
We use Google Analytics 4 with Google’s Consent Mode. If you decline analytics, we prevent analytics cookies from being set and send signals to Google that analytics storage is denied. If you accept, we load GA4 and send analytics events.
For more details on how Google uses data, please see Google’s cookie documentation.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. We’ll post the updated version here and update the date above.
