Cookie Policy

Effective date: 4 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how WindsorCastle.info uses cookies and similar technologies.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files or similar identifiers stored on, or accessed from, your device. Some are necessary for a website to work; others help with analytics, advertising, embedded content or remembering preferences.

2. Our cookie categories

Strictly necessary

These technologies are needed for core website functions, security, consent management and services you specifically request. They do not require consent where the law recognises them as strictly necessary.

Preferences

These remember choices such as language or interface preferences where provided. Where consent is legally required, they will only be used after you choose to allow them.

Analytics

Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use the website and improve content and performance. They will only be activated where consent is required and you have given it.

Advertising

Advertising technologies may be used by us or advertising partners to provide and measure advertising. Where consent is required, advertising cookies or similar technologies will not be activated unless you choose to accept them.

Third-party content

Embedded maps, video, social features, payment services and other third-party content may set or access cookies or similar technologies. Where required, such content will be blocked or limited until you give the relevant consent.

3. Your choices

When a consent banner is displayed, you should be offered clear choices such as Accept all, Reject non-essential and Manage choices. Non-essential cookies must not be treated as accepted merely because you continue browsing.

You can change or withdraw consent at any time through the site’s cookie settings or preference mechanism, where available. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

4. Cookie banner wording

Suggested visitor notice: “We use necessary cookies to keep this website secure and working. With your permission, we also use optional cookies for preferences, analytics, advertising and embedded content. Optional cookies are off unless you choose to allow them. Choose ‘Accept all’, ‘Reject non-essential’ or ‘Manage choices’. You can change your choices at any time in Cookie Settings. See our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy for details.”

5. No forced consent

Access to ordinary website information and the no-login games should not depend on accepting optional cookies unless a particular third-party feature genuinely requires them. Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to content that does not need those technologies.

6. Cookie list

The exact cookies and similar technologies used by this website can change as WordPress, plugins and third-party services change. The site’s consent-management system should maintain the current technical list, including provider, purpose, category and duration. Users should rely on the current consent interface and this policy rather than an outdated hard-coded list.

7. Browser controls

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

8. Children

Our games are designed for the age ranges shown on the individual pages and do not require login. We do not intentionally use the games to request children’s personal information. Optional tracking and advertising should not be used to bypass applicable children’s privacy protections.

9. Further information

For information about personal data and your rights, see our Privacy Policy. For website rules, see our Terms & Conditions.

This policy is general information and is not legal advice. The final cookie categories and banner behaviour should be checked against the actual cookies, scripts, plugins and third-party services running on the live site.
