This Cookie Policy explains how GridlingtonAI uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on gridlingtonai.org. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect data and to giving you meaningful control over your cookie preferences.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They serve a range of purposes — from keeping you logged in to remembering your preferences and helping website owners understand how visitors engage with their content. Cookies cannot access other data on your device, run executable code, or transmit viruses. They are specific to the website that set them and can only be read by that site.
We use cookies to ensure that essential website functions operate correctly, to remember whether you have accepted or declined our cookie policy so we do not ask repeatedly, and to gather anonymous statistical data about how our website is used. This data helps us improve the relevance and performance of our content. We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising or to track you across other websites.

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies at any time using the cookie consent banner displayed at the bottom of our website pages. If you wish to withdraw a consent you have previously given, you may clear your browser's local storage and cookies for this site and the banner will reappear. You may also configure your browser settings to block cookies altogether, though doing so may affect the functionality of this and other websites you visit.
If you have any questions or concerns about how we use cookies, please contact us at [email protected] or write to us at 14 Threadneedle Street, London EC2R 8AY, United Kingdom. For further guidance on managing cookies, the Information Commissioner's Office publishes helpful resources at ico.org.uk.
