This page explains how Stretford Paddock uses cookies and similar technologies on stretfordpaddock.co.uk. It also lets you choose which optional categories you allow.
You can change your choice at any time. Rejecting optional cookies will not stop you reading our articles, although an embedded video or another optional feature may not work until you allow it.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone or tablet when you use a website. They can help a site work, remember a choice, keep a service secure or tell its operator how a feature is used.
We also use similar browser technologies, including local storage and session storage. The same privacy principles apply to them.
A first-party cookie or storage item is set by Stretford Paddock. A third-party item is set by another service, such as YouTube. A session item normally ends when you close the browser or tab. A persistent item stays for a stated period or until you delete it.
Our cookie categories
Strictly necessary
These technologies support security, consent storage, page delivery and core site functions. They are always on because the site cannot provide the relevant function without them. They are not used to build an advertising profile.
Functional
These remember optional preferences or enable features such as embedded media. We use them only when you allow Functional cookies or actively request the relevant feature.
Analytics
Analytics helps us understand how people use the site so we can improve it. At the date of this notice, no separate website analytics tag is active on stretfordpaddock.co.uk. If this changes, the provider and technology will be added to the table below before it is enabled, and the consent panel will control it where required.
Advertising and targeting
These technologies can measure campaigns, personalise advertising or follow activity across services. At the date of this notice, we do not run a dedicated advertising pixel on stretfordpaddock.co.uk. YouTube may use some storage for advertising-related purposes when its player is loaded, depending on the player configuration, your Google settings and the consent you give.
Technologies used on this site
Cookie names and durations can change when a provider updates its service. We review this table and will update it when our site or suppliers change.
| Name or service | Set by | What it does | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
editorial_cookie_consent | Stretford Paddock | Records whether you allowed or rejected Functional, Analytics and Advertising and Targeting cookies, together with the date of the choice. | Strictly necessary | 180 days |
editorial_newsletter_popup_suppressed_until | Stretford Paddock, using local storage | Remembers that you closed the Paddock Weekly sign-up prompt so it is not shown again straight away. It also remembers when the sign-up form has been submitted. | Strictly necessary preference | 7 days after dismissal, or 365 days after form submission |
wpEmojiSettingsSupports | WordPress, using session storage | Checks whether your browser can display emoji correctly so the site can choose the right display method. | Strictly necessary display function | Browser-tab session, with a short support-test cache |
YouTube player storage, which may include YSC, VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, VISITOR_PRIVACY_METADATA, __Secure-YNID and __Secure-ROLLOUT_TOKEN | Google / YouTube | Supports video playback, security, fraud prevention, service preferences and, depending on Google’s settings and the player used, measurement or advertising. | Functional, with Advertising and Targeting consent where advertising storage is involved | Session to approximately 180 days; Google may vary these periods |
YouTube may add, remove or rename technologies without notice to us. See Google’s cookie information and Google’s privacy policy for current details.
Paddock Weekly and Mailchimp
The newsletter form sends the details you enter to Intuit Mailchimp when you submit it. Displaying the form does not, by itself, add you to the list. If you are taken to a Mailchimp page to finish or confirm the sign-up, Mailchimp may use its own cookies and its privacy information will apply.
Email campaigns may include reporting technology that records delivery, opens or link clicks. This is explained in our Privacy Policy.
Shopify and the merchandise store
The main site loads Shopify storefront components and may show product or shop links. When you use a shopping feature or visit stretfordpaddock.shop, Shopify and the store may use their own cookies and similar technologies. The store has a separate privacy policy and cookie preference tool for shopping, account, payment and checkout activity.
Ordinary links to other services
The site links to YouTube, Spotify, X, Facebook, Instagram and other websites. An ordinary link does not normally let that service set a cookie on the Stretford Paddock page. Once you follow the link, the destination’s privacy and cookie terms apply.
Change or withdraw your choice
Use the Manage Cookie Preferences button near the top of this page to accept all, reject all or choose individual optional categories. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
When you save a new choice, the page may reload so that services can be enabled or disabled. Removing existing third-party cookies may also require your browser settings because another provider controls them.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser. Blocking every cookie may stop consent choices and some site features from working as expected. Browser controls vary, so check the help pages for your browser or device.
Changes to this page
We will update this page when our technology, suppliers or legal obligations change. If a new optional service needs consent, it will not be enabled until the consent controls and this information have been updated.
