1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files saved on your device when you visit a site. They help the site remember your choices and see how you use it.
2. How we use cookies
SOHS (sohs.org.uk) uses cookies to: (a) remember your age and cookie choices; (b) improve the site; (c) see which pages are visited (e.g. analytics). We do not use cookies to track you on other sites or for ads.
3. Essential cookies
Some cookies are needed for the site to work. For example, we may store that you passed the age check or accepted cookies so we don’t show them again. You can’t turn these off if you want to use the site.
4. Non-essential cookies
We may use cookies for analytics or preferences that aren’t strictly needed. You can decline them in our cookie banner on first visit. You can change this later in your browser.
5. Third-party cookies
We link to other sites (e.g. licensed operators, support bodies). Those sites may set their own cookies when you click through. We don’t control them; check their privacy and cookie policies.
6. Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Blocking all cookies may mean some parts of sohs.org.uk don’t work (e.g. the age or cookie banner may show again each time).
7. Updates
We may change this cookie policy. The “Last updated” date will change. Using the site after that means you accept the new version.
