In short

The short version first.

Each part of this page starts with a short summary in plain words. The full detail follows. You only need to read the detail if you want to.

Essential cookies

Needed for the website to work. For example, to keep you signed in, to keep the website secure, and to remember your cookie choice.

Optional cookies

Optional cookies are off unless you choose them. Analytics cookies, which count how people use the website, would be optional. SensoryShore does not use them at the moment.

Control

You can review or change optional settings through the cookie settings page linked below.

What cookies are used for

In short: cookies help the website remember things it needs, such as your cookie choice. Later, they may also count how people use the website, but only if you allow it.

  • Essential cookies keep the website working and secure, and remember your cookie choice.
  • Optional analytics cookies would only be used if we turned them on and you agreed to them.
  • SensoryShore is not built around advertising, or around tracking you across other websites.

Types of cookie

In short: some cookies are needed for the website to work. Optional ones are kept separate from those.

  • Essential: needed for the website to work and to remember your choices.
  • Analytics: would show us how the website is used overall, in combined totals rather than person by person. Only used if we turn it on and you agree.
  • Marketing: not used on SensoryShore.

How long they last

In short: some cookies expire when your session ends, while others stay for a set period to remember preferences.

  • Session cookies keep you signed in while you use the website. They expire after a period without activity.
  • If you tick “Stay signed in on this device” when you sign in, a cookie keeps you signed in on that device for longer.
  • Preference cookies may persist long enough to remember a settings choice.
  • If analytics is ever enabled, the duration should be described before use.
