Cookie policy

Scope

This policy explains how The Graded Gallery (Birmingham) uses cookies and browser storage on this website. The publication provides editorial features about retro games and gaming culture. It also explains what storage the site uses to operate and remember your cookie choice.

The site does not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, tracking pixels or advertising identifiers. This policy describes the website's current configuration and is not jurisdiction-specific legal advice.

Essential cookies

The site uses necessary browser storage for core operation, including remembering your choice in the cookie banner. That preference is stored in your browser's local storage so the banner can respond to your previous choice.

Functional storage is limited to features provided by the site. No separate analytics or advertising storage is configured, and the site does not use cookies to build an advertising profile or measure visits.

Cookie choices

When the cookie banner appears, you can choose Accept or Decline. Accepting permits the necessary and functional browser storage described in this policy, including storage of your banner preference. Declining blocks optional storage; the site still uses the storage needed to present and remember your choice.

Your choice is held in your browser's local storage and is not sent to an advertising or analytics provider. If you clear your browser storage, switch browsers or use another device, the banner may appear again and you can choose again.

Use the cookie banner to accept or decline cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the banner can remember it on later visits.

Browser controls

You can clear cookies and local storage through your browser's privacy or site-settings controls. You can also configure your browser to block or restrict storage. Blocking necessary storage may stop the site remembering your cookie choice and may affect related site functions.

Browser controls apply to the browser and device where you use them. They do not change information you have already sent to the publication by another route.

Third-party technologies

The site does not use Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google tags, Consent Mode, tracking pixels or advertising identifiers. It does not share cookie or browser-storage information with advertising or analytics providers.

When you use the enquiry form, its fields are Name, Email, an optional subject, Your question or message, and the required consent confirmation. A hidden Website field is included for form handling. No external endpoint receives these form details through this site. They are used to respond to your enquiry, not for advertising or visitor measurement.

Changes

We may update this policy when the site's cookie or browser-storage arrangements change. The effective date at the top of this page shows when this version applies. If a future measurement or advertising product is introduced, this page will describe the relevant provider, data categories, purpose and available controls before that product is used.
