This policy explains how Gillespies Couture Cakes uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.
How consent works
Necessary technologies are used to provide the service you request. Functional, analytics and marketing technologies remain blocked unless you choose to allow the relevant category. You can reopen at any time.
Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | WordPress and WooCommerce sessions, basket contents, secure checkout, fraud prevention, staff/customer login and your consent preference. | Always active |
| Functional | Optional embedded services, including Google Maps on venue pages. | Off until allowed |
| Analytics | Audience measurement tools, if installed, used to understand website performance. | Off until allowed |
| Marketing | Advertising pixels, social-media tracking and remarketing tools, if installed. | Off until allowed |
Current website features
WooCommerce uses necessary session and basket technologies so customers can select classes and complete checkout. Google Maps embeds are treated as functional and remain hidden until functional consent is granted. Ordinary links to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps or calendar services do not load those services until you choose to follow the link.
How long choices are kept
Your cookie preference is normally remembered for 180 days, unless you delete it or the consent wording changes.
Changing your choice
Use the Cookie settings link in the website footer or the preference controls on the Privacy Policy page to change or withdraw consent. Withdrawing consent prevents optional technologies loading on future page views; you may also delete existing cookies through your browser settings.
