This Cookies Policy explains how The Everest Cheltenham of 3-5 Portland St, Cheltenham, GL52 2NZ uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.
In short: we only use cookies that are necessary for the website to work. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, so we do not show a cookie consent banner. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use your personal information more generally.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work and to remember your choices. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work in the same way.
2. The cookies we use
We only use strictly necessary cookies — the ones a website needs to work properly. They do not track you across other websites and are not used for advertising. Under UK cookie rules these do not require your consent, which is why you will not see a cookie pop-up on our site.
The necessary cookies and similar storage we use include:
- Sign-in cookies that keep you (and our staff) logged in to your account and keep it secure;
- Cookies that remember the items in your basket and whether you are ordering for delivery or collection while you shop;
- Small settings saved in your browser, such as remembering that you have turned order sounds on.
3. Third-party services
A few trusted services we rely on may set their own cookies when you use certain pages:
- Payments — when you pay by card, our payment provider (Stripe) sets cookies that are necessary to process the payment securely and to help prevent fraud;
- Maps — our Contact page uses Google Maps to show where we are, and Google may set cookies through that map.
We do not control the cookies set by these providers. You can read their own cookie and privacy notices on their websites.
4. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies
We do not currently use analytics, tracking or advertising cookies on this website. If that ever changes, we will update this policy and — where the law requires it — ask for your consent first, for example through a cookie banner.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or remove them (see your browser's help pages for how). Please note that blocking the necessary cookies described above may stop parts of the website, such as ordering or signing in, from working properly.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
