Cookie Policy

Last updated: 23 July 2026

This cookie policy explains how The Hunny Pot Day Nursery (Huddersfield) Limited, trading as Hunny Pot Nursery, uses cookies and similar technologies on its website.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, telephone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

They can help a website:

• work correctly;
• remember choices;
• maintain security;
• understand how visitors use the website; and
• display content supplied by third-party services.

Some cookies last only until you close your browser. Others remain for a set period or until you delete them.

2. Similar technologies

This policy also applies to similar storage and access technologies, including:

• local storage;
• tracking pixels;
• tags and scripts;
• embedded-content technologies;
• device identifiers; and
• other technologies that store or access information on your device.

3. Who sets cookies

Cookies may be set by:

• Hunny Pot Nursery, known as first-party cookies; or
• another organisation whose service appears on the website, known as third-party cookies.

Third-party services may use information collected through their technologies for their own purposes, as described in their privacy and cookie information.

4. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to operate safely and correctly.

They may be used to:

• provide core website functionality;
• protect forms from spam or abuse;
• maintain website security;
• balance traffic and deliver pages;
• remember cookie-consent choices;
• support administrative login functions; and
• diagnose essential technical errors.

These technologies do not normally require consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember choices that improve your experience, such as:

• display preferences;
• accessibility choices;
• language or interface settings; and
• saved form or booking preferences.

Where required, these cookies are only used after you have made an appropriate choice.

Analytics cookies

Analytics technologies help us understand:

• how many people visit the website;
• how visitors find it;
• which pages they view;
• how long they spend on pages;
• which devices and browsers they use; and
• whether visitors encounter technical problems.

We may use Google Analytics through Google Site Kit where it is enabled.

We use analytics information to improve the website and understand which information is useful. We do not use it to make significant automated decisions about visitors.

Where consent is required, analytics technologies are not activated until you give consent through the cookie banner.

Functional and embedded-content cookies

Some website features are supplied by third-party services. These may include:

• Calendly appointment booking;
• Google Maps, Google Calendar or other Google content where embedded;
• Trustindex review displays;
• videos;
• social-media content; and
• interactive forms.

These services may set cookies or access information on your device when they load.

Where possible, non-essential embedded services should remain blocked until you consent to the relevant category.

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to track visitors across websites, measure advertising or display personalised advertising.

Hunny Pot Nursery does not intend to use behavioural-advertising cookies unless this is clearly disclosed and you have made the required choice.

If marketing technology is introduced later, this policy and the website’s cookie settings will be updated.

5. Services that may use cookies

The website currently uses, or may use where enabled, the following types of providers:

WordPress, Astra and website hosting

WordPress, the Astra theme and our hosting provider may use essential technologies for:

• page delivery;
• security;
• administrative login;
• performance;
• caching; and
• error prevention.

Cookie-consent service

Our consent tool stores a record of your cookie choices so that the website can respect them.

This record is treated as strictly necessary.

WPForms

Our online forms are provided using WPForms.

The forms or associated anti-spam systems may use necessary or functional technologies to:

• submit form information;
• prevent duplicate submissions;
• detect spam; and
• protect the website from abuse.

Calendly

Calendly is used to provide online appointment or nursery-tour booking.

Calendly may use necessary, functional and analytics technologies when its booking service is loaded or used.

Google services

Where enabled, Google services may include:

• Google Analytics through Site Kit;
• Google Maps;
• embedded calendars;
• anti-spam or security services; and
• other embedded Google content.

Google may receive technical information such as an IP address, browser details and information about your interaction with the embedded service.

Trustindex

Trustindex may be used to display reviews from external review platforms.

Its widget may load external resources and use functional technologies when displayed.

6. The current cookie list

Cookie names, providers and lifetimes can change when website software or third-party services are updated.

The most current list should be available through the website’s Cookie Settings panel, generated from the website’s active cookie scan.

That list should show, where available:

• cookie or technology name;
• provider;
• purpose;
• category;
• duration; and
• whether it is set by a third party.

7. How long cookies remain

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies, which usually expire when the browser is closed; or
• Persistent cookies, which remain until their expiry date or until you delete them.

The duration depends on the cookie’s purpose and provider. We review cookie durations and aim not to retain identifiers longer than necessary.

8. Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, the cookie banner should allow you to:

• accept available cookie categories;
• reject non-essential cookies; or
• customise your preferences.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through the banner because the website depends on them.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through the Cookie Settings link displayed on the website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before withdrawal.

9. Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete individual or all cookies;
• block third-party cookies;
• block cookies from particular websites; or
• block all cookies.

Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the website, online forms or appointment-booking services from working correctly.

Your browser’s help or privacy settings explain how to manage these controls.

10. Third-party websites

If you follow a link to another website, that organisation may use its own cookies and technologies.

We do not control cookies placed on websites that we do not operate. Please review the relevant organisation’s cookie and privacy information.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when:

• website features change;
• a provider changes its technology;
• new services are introduced;
• cookies are removed; or
• legal guidance changes.

The latest version will be published on this page with its updated date.
