Barnsbury Joinery cookie policy
How Barnsbury Joinery uses cookies on barnsburyjoinery.com. What we set, why, how consent works, and how to change or withdraw your choice.
This cookie policy explains how Barnsbury Joinery, the flagship London studio of The Barnsbury Group, uses cookies and similar technologies on barnsburyjoinery.com. It sits alongside our privacy policy, which sets out in full how we handle the personal information you share with us.
We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not sell your data. The only non‑essential cookies on this site are the analytics cookies described below, and these are set only if you accept them.
What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to understand how a site is being used. Similar technologies, such as a browser's local storage, do the same kind of job.
Cookies are grouped by how necessary they are. Strictly necessary cookies are needed for a site to function and do not require your consent. Everything else, including analytics, is treated as non‑essential and is set only with your consent, in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and UK GDPR.
Remembering your choice

When you accept or reject cookies using the notice at the bottom of the page, we record that decision in your browser's local storage under the name bj‑consent. This is what stops the notice from appearing again on every page.
This is a strictly necessary function. It stores only your choice, it holds no personal information, and it is not shared with anyone. If you clear your browser's site data, the choice is forgotten and the notice will appear again on your next visit.
Analytics cookies

If you accept, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure how the site is used, for example which pages are visited and how people arrive. This helps us understand what is useful and improve the site over time. It is not used to identify you personally, and we do not use it for advertising.
Google Analytics sets its own cookies, commonly named _ga and similar, to distinguish visitors and sessions. These are only ever set after you have accepted. Until then, and if you reject, they are not placed at all. We run Google Analytics with consent mode, so no analytics cookies are stored on your device without your consent.
Any data collected this way is processed by Google on our behalf. You can read more in Google's own privacy documentation, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites using the browser add‑on Google provides.
How we ask for your consent

On your first visit you will see a short notice at the bottom of the page. Nothing non‑essential is set before you make a choice, and there are no pre‑ticked options. You are offered two equal options, to accept or to reject, and rejecting is exactly as easy as accepting.
If you reject, only the strictly necessary function that remembers your choice is used, and no analytics cookies are set.
Changing or withdrawing your consent

You can change your mind at any time. Clearing this site's data in your browser will remove the stored choice, and the notice will appear again so you can choose differently.
You can also manage or block cookies directly in your browser settings. Most browsers let you delete existing cookies, block new ones, and warn you before a cookie is stored. Details for each browser are available in its own help pages. Please note that blocking strictly necessary functions may affect how the site behaves.
Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site or to the law. Any changes will be published on this page.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us at info@barnsburyjoinery.com or by post at Low Profile House, 94 Vale Road, London N4 1PZ.
