Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website's owners. Other similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which work in similar ways.

Does This Site Use Cookies?

Briargate Wellness Center does not set first-party cookies. We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, personalisation, user tracking, or any other purpose. No cookie consent banner is required for first-party cookies because we do not set any.

Third-Party Network Requests

Although we do not set cookies ourselves, loading this site causes your browser to make requests to the following third-party services. These services operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.

Google Fonts

This site loads typefaces (Fraunces and Work Sans) from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). When your browser requests these font files, Google's servers receive your IP address. Since June 2022, Google has updated the Fonts service to not set third-party cookies. Google may log these requests for abuse prevention and reliability purposes. See the Google Privacy Policy for details.

Web3Forms (contact form only)

Our contact form submits data to Web3Forms (api.web3forms.com). This request is only made when you actively submit the contact form — it does not happen automatically on page load. Web3Forms does not set persistent cookies as part of this submission. See the Web3Forms Privacy Policy for details.

Session Storage

This site uses browser session storage (not cookies) to manage the state of interactive components such as the mobile navigation menu. Session storage is cleared automatically when you close your browser tab and is not accessible to third parties.

How to Manage Cookies and Storage

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Below are links to the cookie management pages for common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that blocking all external network requests (for example via a browser extension) may prevent fonts from loading correctly, which could affect the visual appearance of this site.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because this site does not track users, the site behaves the same regardless of whether DNT is enabled.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new third-party services or change how the site operates. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
