Cookie Policy

About cookies and browser storage

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device so that it can recognise your browser and keep settings between visits. Browsers offer comparable techniques, above all local storage, which holds entries in a similar way. Where this policy mentions cookies, those technologies are meant as well.

Content embedded from other providers

We do not embed services from other providers that would set cookies of their own. If a map, a video or a similar element were added later, its provider could store entries on your device once it loads, and this policy would be updated before such content is published.

How your choice is recorded

Where a cookie notice is displayed, the only thing it saves is your answer, agreement or refusal, as one value in the local storage of the browser you are using (localStorage), after which it stays hidden. It appears again in a different browser or on a different device, and wherever storage is blocked.

How long entries are stored

Session entries disappear when the browser window is closed, while others are given a set lifetime so that a preference survives until you come back. The answer saved by the cookie notice does not expire and remains until you or your browser remove it.

Categories used on this website

whisperra.org is an information site: there is no customer account and no checkout, so only a few entries are needed. The strictly necessary category covers what the pages and the server require to work safely, including any entry that records an answer to a cookie notice, and, under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), it does not depend on consent.

The server that delivers this website sets one cookie of this kind. It contains only a random value, nothing that identifies you by name, and serves to recognise a returning browser and to protect the site against automated abuse. The cookie is renewed whenever you come back and is deleted 30 days after your last visit.

Changing your choice later

Changing your mind is simple: remove the stored data of this website in your browser settings and reload a page, and the previous answer is replaced by a new one the next time you are asked. Browsers also let you manage cookies for one site or for all of them, usually in their privacy settings.

Advertising, tracking and personal data

We use no advertising cookies, no marketing pixels and no trackers that follow visitors to other websites, and information from your visit is not sold or passed on for advertising. Where it can be related to a person, our privacy policy explains the legal bases, the storage periods and your rights.

Changes and contact

This policy is amended whenever the technologies used on whisperra.org change or new rules make it necessary, and the current version, with the date of its last revision, is always the one on this page. If anything here is unclear, you can reach us at [email protected] or by telephone at 01206 574318.
