1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember preferences and to provide owners with information about how their site is being used. This page explains how Strainyoung uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them.
2. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the basic operation of the website. They allow features such as remembering whether you have already seen the privacy notice or completing a contact form. The website cannot function properly without them, and they cannot be disabled through our preference controls.
Preferences
Preference cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made, such as your language or whether you have dismissed a notification. They make your visit smoother on repeat visits but are not strictly required.
Analytics
If enabled, analytics cookies help us understand which pages visitors read most, how long they stay and which links work well. The information is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify any individual visitor.
Third-party content
Some pages display content hosted elsewhere — for example a map embedded from a mapping provider on the Contacts page, or fonts and icons loaded from external content delivery networks. These third parties may set their own cookies in line with their own privacy notices.
3. The privacy popup
The first time you visit the site you will see a short privacy popup explaining that we use limited cookies and offering an Accept or Decline button. Your choice is remembered locally in your browser so the popup does not appear on every page. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser storage for this website.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
Every modern browser allows you to view, manage and delete cookies. The exact menu varies by browser but is usually found under “Settings > Privacy & security”. You can also configure your browser to block cookies entirely or to ask you each time. Please be aware that disabling cookies may prevent some parts of this website from working correctly.
5. Retention
Most of the cookies we set are session cookies that expire automatically when you close your browser. Cookies that remember your preferences typically last between one and twelve months. Third-party providers manage the lifetime of their own cookies as described in their own policies.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, in the services we use or in applicable law. We encourage you to review this page periodically. The date at the top is updated whenever a meaningful change is made.
7. Contact
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, you are welcome to reach out through the Contacts page. We aim to respond clearly and quickly to every enquiry.
