Cookie Policy
About this policy
This policy explains how Goldsmiths Choral Union ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.goldsmithschoralunion.org. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices and tell us how the site is used. We only use cookies that are strictly necessary without asking you first. All other cookies are set only if you agree.
Cookies we use
Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which sets the cookies listed below. We use two types of cookies.
Strictly necessary. These make the site work, for example remembering your cookie choices. They cannot be switched off.
Analytics. Squarespace's built-in analytics tell us how many people visit, which pages they look at and how they found us, so we can improve the site. We see this only as totals; it does not identify you personally.
Links to other sites. Our site links to Eventbrite for tickets, Google Maps for venue directions and our social media pages. These services do not set cookies through our site, but they may set their own once you visit them, under their own privacy policies.
For more detail, see Squarespace's cookie information and the privacy policies of Eventbrite and Google.
Managing your cookies
When you first visit our site, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and third-party cookies. You can accept all, reject all or choose by type. Rejecting them will not stop you using the site, though some embedded videos or booking tools may not load.
You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Help pages for the main browsers:
If you decline analytics cookies, Squarespace will not set them and your visit will not be counted in our visitor statistics.

We may update this policy if we change the cookies we use. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
