This Cookie Policy explains how Love Derby, operated by [Legal entity not configured], uses cookies and similar technologies at https://lovederby.com. Read it with our Privacy Policy. Questions can be sent to [Contact email not configured].
Before publication: inspect the live website and third-party scripts on each brand, replace the [CONFIRM] notes below with exact cookie names, purposes, providers, durations and choices, and ensure the actual consent interface does what this policy says.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies, including local storage and tracking pixels, may read or store information and are covered by relevant privacy and electronic communications rules. Cookies can help maintain a login session, secure forms, remember a preference, measure the Site's usage or support advertising.
2. Categories of technology
Strictly necessary: technologies essential for the requested service, such as authentication, session management, fraud prevention, security controls and form protection. These generally do not need consent when a relevant exception applies, but we must explain them.
Preferences and functionality: technologies remembering choices such as cookie preferences or optional display settings. Consent may be needed unless a lawful exception applies.
Analytics and performance: technologies used to understand traffic, errors and navigation, potentially including analytics products configured through Google Tag Manager. Whether consent is needed depends on the particular purpose and implementation and the law in force; we will not assume analytics cookies are automatically exempt.
Advertising and measurement: we use Google AdSense to display advertising. Google or authorised advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to select advertisements, prevent repetition, measure performance and, when permitted, support personalised advertising. Online-advertising storage/access technologies require valid consent before use; this applies to relevant advertising and measurement tags, even where advertisements help fund this free Site.
3. Cookies actually used on this website
Google AdSense is used to fund our websites through advertising. The table of exact cookies still requires a browser audit because names and lifetimes can depend on the visitor, Google settings, consent choices and which scripts are active. [CONFIRM and replace with an audited table listing cookie/key name, first or third party, provider, category, precise purpose, retention and any links to third-party notices for this specific site.]
Laravel/session and CSRF security cookies — may keep you signed in and protect forms. [CONFIRM actual cookie names and lifetimes.]
Cookie preferences — may remember whether you accepted or declined optional technologies. [CONFIRM mechanism, name and lifetime.]
Google Tag Manager / Analytics — enabled only where configured; Google tags may trigger analytics storage or further tags.
Google AdSense — our principal advertising service; Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to display and measure adverts, subject to consent requirements.
Third-party mapping or media embeds — may set their own technologies if loaded.
4. Choosing or changing your preferences
Where consent is legally required, we will ask for a clear choice before setting or reading optional technologies. The user interface should make it easy to accept, reject and change consent without forcing acceptance as a condition of ordinary access except where legally justified. Continuing to browse is not itself valid consent.
You may also restrict or delete cookies using browser controls, although blocking essential cookies can affect login and functionality.
5. Third-party technologies
Some analytics, advertising, mapping or payment features are supplied by third parties under their own privacy notices. Their technologies may interact with this Site, but we remain responsible for describing our own use and obtaining any consent required of us. Your choice on Love Derby does not necessarily change privacy preferences you have set directly with those providers.
6. Updates and contact
We will review this policy and the cookie inventory when we add technology or change its purpose, and request renewed consent where required. For questions or requests, contact [Contact email not configured]. Effective 31 October 2026.
