This Cookie Policy explains how SRNMC uses cookies and similar technologies on the SRNMC website.

It should be read together with the [**SRNMC Privacy Policy**](https://www.sarahrnmcintyre.com/index.php?option=com_sppagebuilder&view=page&id=178&Itemid=1054&lang=en-GB), which explains more generally how SRNMC collects, uses, holds and discloses personal information.

Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies can be used for purposes including operating and securing a website, remembering preferences, understanding how a website is used and enabling content or services provided by third parties.

Some cookies are necessary for a website or particular functionality to operate. Other cookies may be used for analytics, preferences, advertising or third-party services and may be subject to your consent.

The SRNMC website may use cookies and similar technologies for the following categories:

➤ Necessary

Required for website operation, security, privacy preferences and functionality that SRNMC considers necessary to provide requested website features.

➤ Preferences

Used to remember certain choices or settings that may improve your experience of the website.

➤ Statistics

Used to understand how visitors use the website, measure website performance and analyse traffic and engagement.

➤ Marketing and third-party media

Used in connection with certain external services, embedded media, advertising, measurement or other third-party functionality.

The cookies and technologies actually used may change as the SRNMC website and the services it uses develop.

Necessary cookies and technologies are required for the website to operate properly or to provide essential functionality and security.

These may include:

➤ a Joomla session cookie used to maintain the operation of the website during a browsing session;

➤ the cookie-consent mechanism used to remember your privacy choices; and

➤ security technologies associated with services necessary to provide particular website functionality.

Necessary cookies cannot be disabled through the SRNMC cookie preference controls where they are required for the website or requested functionality to operate.

### Captivate audio player

SRNMC uses embedded audio functionality provided through Captivate on parts of the website.

The Captivate player may use security technologies provided by Cloudflare. These may include the cf\_clearance cookie, which may be used for security and verification purposes in connection with delivery of the player.

SRNMC treats this functionality as necessary where it is required to provide the audio content requested through the website.

Preference cookies may be used to remember choices or settings that affect how the website operates for you.

For example, the website may use a preference associated with the visitor's timezone or other website settings.

Preference cookies are not required for the basic operation of the website and may be controlled through the available cookie preferences where applicable.

SRNMC may use Google Analytics and related Google measurement technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website.

Where enabled, Google Analytics may use cookies including cookies beginning with \_ga.

These technologies may be used to measure matters such as:

➤ website visits and traffic;

➤ pages viewed;

➤ referral and traffic sources;

➤ website interactions;

➤ approximate geographic and device information; and

➤ website and campaign performance.

Where consent is required, SRNMC does not enable Statistics cookies through its consent mechanism unless the visitor has provided the applicable consent.

Further information about SRNMC's use of Google Analytics is provided in the SRNMC Privacy Policy.

The SRNMC website may include embedded content supplied by third-party media services, including YouTube and Spotify.

Loading embedded third-party content may allow the relevant provider to receive information about your browser, device, IP address or interaction with that content and may involve cookies or similar technologies.

Where the applicable consent has not been provided, SRNMC may prevent this third-party content from loading.

In that case, you may see a placeholder advising that the content requires additional cookies or asking you to update your cookie preferences.

If you provide the required consent, the embedded content may load and the relevant third party may then use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with its own privacy and cookie practices.

The SRNMC website may obtain fonts and other website resources from external technology providers, including Google Fonts.

When your browser requests an externally hosted resource, technical information such as your IP address, browser information and the requested resource may necessarily be transmitted to the provider in order to deliver that resource.

SRNMC uses such resources as part of the presentation and operation of the website and does not classify the loading of a website font, by itself, as website analytics or advertising.

Where the SRNMC cookie consent mechanism is displayed, you may be offered controls including:

Manage Preferences - view or change available cookie categories.

Reject Non-Essential - reject optional cookie categories while allowing technologies necessary for website operation and essential functionality.

Allow Selected - allow the categories you have selected in the cookie preference controls.

Accept All - allow all available cookie categories.

Certain third-party content or functionality may remain unavailable if the relevant cookie category has not been enabled.

Where available, you may reopen the SRNMC cookie preferences and change your choices.

If you withdraw consent for an optional category, SRNMC will apply your updated preference to subsequent use of the relevant technologies through the website's consent mechanism.

Cookies already stored on your device may also be deleted using your browser settings.

Your browser may provide additional controls for blocking, restricting or deleting cookies.

Some cookies and similar technologies used in connection with the SRNMC website are provided or controlled by third parties.

These may include providers such as:

➤ Google;

➤ YouTube;

➤ Spotify;

➤ Captivate and associated infrastructure providers; and

➤ other technology, analytics, advertising or media providers used by SRNMC from time to time.

Third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.

Further information about third-party services, social media, embedded media and international processing is available in the [**SRNMC Privacy Policy**](https://www.sarahrnmcintyre.com/index.php?option=com_sppagebuilder&view=page&id=178&Itemid=1054&lang=en-GB).

SRNMC may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technologies, service providers, legal requirements or SRNMC's practices.

The current version will be published on the SRNMC website.

The date at the beginning of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
