Cookies at Discover Peterborough
Clear information about website technologies
Your choices. Your browser.
Cookies help websites remember information, provide useful functionality and understand how people use online services.
Some cookies are necessary for a website to function correctly. Others may support preferences, anonymous statistics or additional functionality, depending on the services being used and the choices you make.
Discover Peterborough provides consent controls so that you can manage optional cookie categories where applicable.
Where a cookie is not essential to the operation of the website, it should only be used in accordance with your consent choices.
Cookie categories
Four categories. Different purposes.
The consent system used on Discover Peterborough distinguishes between functional, preference, statistics and marketing technologies. Not every category necessarily means a particular cookie is active for every visitor.
Essential operation
Technologies needed to provide the website or a service you specifically request. These can include security, consent management and other essential functions.
Remembering choices
Technologies that can remember settings or preferences so that the website behaves more consistently when you return.
Understanding use
Technologies which may help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are useful and where the experience can be improved.
External content & tracking
Technologies that may support advertising, third-party media or tracking across websites where those services are enabled.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of information stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website.
Cookies can perform many different jobs. For example, they can remember a choice you made, maintain a website session or help website operators understand how people use a page.
Similar technologies can also perform comparable functions, even where they are not technically described as cookies.
Why Discover Peterborough may use them
Cookies and related technologies may be used to support the operation and improvement of discoverpeterborough.co.uk.
- To remember your cookie and consent preferences.
- To provide functionality required by the website.
- To help understand how visitors use the website where statistics cookies are permitted.
- To enable third-party or embedded content where the relevant consent has been given.
Third-party content and cookies
Some pages on Discover Peterborough contain content supplied by third-party services. This can include maps, videos, event integrations and other embedded resources.
Those services may use their own cookies or similar technologies. In some cases the content will not load until the relevant consent has been given. The live website currently displays this behaviour for certain embedded content. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Once third-party content is enabled, the external provider's own privacy and cookie practices may apply to your interaction with that service.
How long cookies remain on your device
Cookie lifespans vary according to their purpose. Some disappear when you close your browser, while others may remain for a defined period so that the website or service can remember information between visits.
Your browser allows you to inspect and remove cookies stored on your device. Clearing cookies may also remove remembered website settings or consent choices.
