Cookie Policy
What cookies ironbarklodge.com uses, why we use them, and how to control or withdraw your consent.
This site uses a small, deliberate set of cookies — to keep the site working, to remember your choices and to understand how the site is used. This policy explains each category and how to manage them.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Some are essential for the site to function; others remember preferences or help us understand usage. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we never sell cookie-derived data.
2. Essential Cookies
A small set of cookies and local-storage entries are strictly necessary: they remember your cookie consent choice, keep the booking and enquiry forms working, and maintain security. These cannot be switched off without breaking the site.
3. Preference Cookies
These remember choices you make — the cookie banner dismissal, display preferences and form convenience features. They exist only to make the site behave the way you left it.
4. Analytics
With your consent we may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are read and where visitors encounter difficulty. Analytics data is aggregated, never tied to your identity, and retained for no more than 14 months.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Where a page embeds a third-party service — for example the Google Maps frame on our contacts page — that service may set its own cookies under its own policy. We keep such embeds to a minimum.
6. Managing Your Consent
The cookie banner appears on your first visit and your choice is stored locally. To change it, clear your browser's local storage for this site and the banner will return. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies entirely through their settings.
7. Browser Controls
Every modern browser offers cookie controls — blocking all cookies, blocking third-party cookies only, or clearing cookies on exit. Blocking essential cookies will prevent some features of this site, such as the enquiry form, from working correctly.
8. Changes & Contact
If the cookies we use change materially, this page will be updated and the banner re-shown on your next visit. Questions may be directed to our Privacy Officer via [email protected] or the contact page.
Your Cookie Choices
Accept, decline or revisit your consent at any time — clearing this site's local storage brings the banner back on your next visit.

Common Questions
No — this site does not run advertising trackers or build profiles. The only cookies are those needed to run the site, remember your choices and, with consent, understand usage.
Clear your browser's local storage for ironbarklodge.com — the consent banner will reappear on your next visit and you may choose again.
Most of it will — but the consent banner, enquiry form conveniences and a few preferences rely on local storage and may not persist.
