Cookie policy.

A small website needs only a small number of cookies. This page lists every cookie we set, why we set it, how long it lasts, and how to turn it off. We do not use advertising, profiling or tracking cookies of any kind.

1. What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file that a website places in your web browser when you visit it. The next time you visit the site, your browser sends the file back, which lets the site recognise that this is the same browser as before. Cookies are not programs and cannot, by themselves, do anything to your computer; they simply store, on your computer rather than on a remote server, a small piece of information the website would otherwise have to ask you for each time you arrived. They are, like many things, useful in moderation.

2. The cookies this website sets

We set two cookies. Both are first-party — set by pershorenashdomandelmoretrust.org, not by any third party.

CookiePurposeTypeLifetime
pnet_cookies_accepted Records that you have seen and answered our cookie banner, so we do not show it on every page. Stores either the value all or essential. Strictly necessary 365 days
pnet_menu_state On small screens, remembers whether you have the navigation menu open or closed, so it does not visibly snap closed when you change page. Strictly necessary Session (deleted when you close the browser)

That is the entire list. Neither cookie identifies you personally, neither is shared with any third party, and neither persists information about your browsing other than the two specific pieces above.

3. What we do not do

We think it is as useful to know what a website is not doing as what it is.

  • We do not use Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, Microsoft Clarity, or any other web analytics tool. We do not know how many visitors come to this site, which pages they read, or how long they spend; we are content not to know.
  • We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking, or any other advertising or marketing cookie. We do not run paid advertising; we have no need of it.
  • We do not embed Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts or any other third-party font CDN. Our typefaces (Cormorant Garamond, Inter, JetBrains Mono) are loaded from Google Fonts, which serves the font files without setting cookies. (We are watching the European Court's Schrems II case law on this point; we would self-host the fonts if Google's behaviour ever changed materially.)
  • We do not embed YouTube, Vimeo or SoundCloud players that would set cookies on your browser. Our chapel recordings are hosted by our own bandwidth.
  • We do not embed Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram or LinkedIn social-media widgets. We do not have accounts on those services.
  • We do not use session replay, heatmap or fingerprinting tools of any kind.

4. The one external service we use

The donation form, when you submit it, posts to the Charities Aid Foundation's CAF Donate service, which is operated by the Charities Aid Foundation, a charity registered in England and Wales (charity number 268369). CAF Donate is required, to take your card payment, to set its own cookies on its own domain (donate.cafonline.org). Those cookies are governed by CAF's privacy policy, not by ours. We do not see, and do not hold, the cookies CAF sets. If you do not wish CAF to set cookies, you may donate by cheque or bank transfer instead; details are on the Donate page.

The contact form on this site does not post to any third party. It posts to our own server.

5. How to turn cookies off

You can clear, block or limit cookies through the settings in your web browser. The exact procedure varies; here are short links to the official guidance for the four most common browsers.

  • Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.

If you block both of our cookies, the site will still work perfectly. You will see the cookie banner on every page until you accept it (because we cannot remember that you have answered it), and on small screens the navigation menu will visibly snap closed when you change page. Those are small inconveniences; the site is otherwise unaffected.

6. The Trust's wider data practices

Cookies are only a small part of how we treat your information. For the wider picture — what data we hold, why, how long, and your rights to see, correct or erase it — please read our privacy notice.

7. Changes to this policy

We review this cookie policy each May, and whenever we make a substantive change to the website. We will not start using new categories of cookies (analytics, advertising, social media) without first updating this page and the banner that appears on your first visit. If we ever did so, we would obtain your consent first, in the manner required by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (as amended).

8. Questions

If you have a question about this cookie policy, or a concern about how we use cookies, please write to the Bursar at [email protected] or by post to the office at Sarum College, 19 The Close, Salisbury SP1 2EE. We acknowledge written enquiries within five working days.
