Website Cookie Information and Controls

Real Bedford Wixams · Version 1.0 · Effective 1 July 2026 · Next review 1 July 2027

1. Website and scope

  • This policy applies to https://realbedfordwixams.co.uk/ and its club website and members features, which run on Base44.
  • It covers cookies and similar browser storage used by website services.
  • Cookies are small files saved by a website; similar technologies can also save information in a browser.
  • Some storage is needed to deliver a service you request, while other storage requires a choice.

2. Essential functions

  • Where required for the service, essential storage may support secure member sign-in, session continuity, prevention of misuse and remembering privacy choices.
  • Security-related logs may also support reliable operation.
  • A technology is not essential just because a supplier labels it that way: it must meet the applicable legal exception.
  • Blocking essential storage can prevent sign-in or other requested functions.
  • We do not make optional advertising permission a condition of access to core club information.

3. Analytics preferences and embedded services

  • The club website privacy page describes usage and technical analytics.
  • Analytics that needs consent must not be activated until valid consent is given.
  • Any use of a current legal exception must meet its specific conditions, including any information and objection requirements.
  • Optional preferences and third-party embeds must be assessed on the same basis.
  • Links to Microsoft Forms, Jotform, Spond, the FA and other websites lead to services with their own notices.
  • Where a service is embedded, its storage must be assessed before activation.
  • The club will not use targeted advertising storage without an appropriate basis and any consent required.

4. Your choices

  • You can use your browser controls to view, remove or restrict cookies and other site data.
  • This may affect sign-in and may require you to enter information again.
  • Browser controls do not replace any consent choice that the website must offer.
  • Optional storage requiring consent must have a clear acceptance, rejection and withdrawal route; continuing to browse is not consent.
  • Contact secretaryrbw@realbedford.com for help or information about current website technologies.

5. Storage periods and providers

  • Session storage normally ends when its session ends; persistent storage remains until its configured expiry or until removed.
  • Duration depends on the actual technology and feature.
  • Base44 provider information is at https://base44.com/privacy-policy
  • The club Privacy Notice explains personal information used for accounts, bookings, payments and communications.
  • The fact that a provider has its own notice does not remove the club duty to explain technologies used on this website.
