Cookies are tiny informational files stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages – well, most web pages, actually! They enable a website to recognize you when you return to the site, so you can pick up where you left off. For example, cookies allow you to customize views, create and store Favourites Lists, retrieve Past Order information etc. Cookies can’t harm your computer, but are sometimes used unscrupulously for online marketing purposes. This has prompted recent legislation requiring websites to declare whether they use cookies, and in what manner. We are only too happy to comply.

Note that you can adjust the settings on your web browser to either allow or block cookies.

At www.stjosephsinthepark.com we only use cookies to keep track users who have logged in to the Parents Area of the site and to add user functionality to the site such as remembering tabs on certain pages and to enhance the performance of the website for our visitors.

For example, to help us identify and resolve errors, to track popularity of content by page view frequency, or to determine relevant related information to show you when you’re browsing our own website.

We never store any personally identifiable information such as credit card details, telephone numbers, or addresses as cookies, and we never sell information about your page viewing to external marketing companies (though we recommend you check the Cookie policy of the search engine you are using).

Below is a list of the main cookies we use, and how we use them. You’ll find information about 3rd party cookies on the next tab. We hope this reassures you of our best intentions to protect your privacy online.
