Cookies and other website requests

Cookies are small records that a service can store through your browser. Other browser storage and caching can retain information without being a cookie. A connection to an external service can disclose network and browser information even if it does not set a cookie.

Services on this website

  • Google Analytics loads automatically to measure visits and website interactions. Depending on the service configuration and your browser, it may use cookies such as _ga and _ga_*.
  • Videos, Google Maps and interactive social-feed features load through their normal provider scripts and embed addresses where included on a page. Providers can apply their own storage and privacy practices.
  • Google Fonts supplies the hosted fonts used by the design. This is an external connection; it is not an assertion that the font service sets a cookie.
  • WordPress administration may use authentication cookies for authorised sign-in. Website forms retain their spam protection.
  • A privacy-preference record named lalapa_privacy_v1 may remain in browsers that used an earlier site version. The current website does not read, write or act on that record; it can be cleared through the browser.

Automatic loading and your controls

Analytics and external content load automatically. There is no cookie popup or website Accept/Reject/Preferences control. Your browser’s privacy settings, extensions and cookie-deletion controls may limit these resources. Blocking them may affect website features, and deleting cookies cannot retract information already sent to a provider.

Cookie names, expiry, caching and other storage depend on the provider configuration and browser. Contact Ray for information about a particular service or retention question. The website does not promise a fixed lifetime for provider-controlled cookies.

Enquiries and email news

Sending an enquiry is separate from requesting email marketing. Newsletter permission is collected through its own unchecked choice. Accepting website terms or acknowledging the Privacy Policy does not enrol an enquirer for marketing messages.
