Cookie Policy

Last updated: 17 March 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Guestbook Events ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on guestbookevents.com. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, scripts, tags and pixels. We use these technologies to make our website work, keep users signed in, understand how people use the site, improve performance, and support certain features.

1. What cookies are

Cookies and similar technologies help a website recognise your device and remember information such as your preferences, login status and how you use the site. UK rules apply not just to cookies, but also to other technologies that store or access information on your device.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies in the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for the website to work properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, moving around secure areas, submitting forms, managing security, or keeping your session active. Under UK guidance, cookies that are essential to provide an online service requested by the user can be used without consent.

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited, how users move through the site, and whether there are any issues with performance or usability. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. The main cookie used by Google Analytics is _ga, which is used to distinguish users and sessions.

Functionality & Preference Cookies

These help us remember choices you make, improve your experience, and support features such as saved preferences, repeat visits and smoother navigation. This includes cookies used to identify repeat visits, store preferences for the next sign-in, and monitor and analyse web access.

User Experience & Performance Cookies

We may use cookies or similar technologies to monitor and improve site performance, user journeys, page behaviour, feature usage and general website experience. These tools help us improve design, content and usability. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent before using them.

3. Consent

When you first visit our website, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. This includes analytics, functionality cookies that are not strictly necessary, and any user experience or performance tracking cookies.

Consent must be given through a clear positive action. Continuing to browse the site on its own does not count as consent.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website. This may include information such as pages viewed, time spent on the site, approximate location, device information and how users arrived at the site.

Google Analytics uses the _ga cookie to distinguish users and sessions. Cookie settings such as expiration can be adjusted. For more information, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Login-related technologies

Our site uses cookies and other technologies to provide services, enable platform use, identify repeat visits, store preferences for the next sign-in, and monitor and analyse web access. Some of these technologies are needed to provide the service requested by the user — such as keeping an account logged in or securing a session — and may fall within the strictly necessary category.

6. Future tools and integrations

From time to time, we may add new cookies or similar technologies to monitor user experience, improve performance, support new features, personalise parts of the website, or integrate third-party services. Where those cookies are not strictly necessary, we will only use them after obtaining the required consent. We will update this Cookie Policy when our use of cookies changes.

7. Managing cookies

You can review and update your cookie preferences at any time using the button below. You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect core website features such as login, account access, saved preferences and secure areas.
