Cookie Policy
MarlboroughPlay deploys cookies for specific functions outlined in this policy. You can control these as shown here. In line with best practice, we need your active consent before setting non-essential cookies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files your browser stores on your device when you visit our site. They remember your preferences, enable core functions and—with your consent—support analytics and marketing.
A cookie can be set either by the site itself (first-party cookie) or by a third-party provider (third-party cookie).
2. Categories of cookies
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies remain essential for basic site operation and require no consent, since the site cannot function without them.
- lfl_consent — remembers the cookie choice you have made so the banner does not appear on every visit. Retention: 12 months.
- session-id — a server-side session identifier. Retention: for the duration of the session.
2.2 Analytics cookies (optional)
We use analytics cookies only with your consent via our cookie banner, helping us understand how visitors navigate the site so we can enhance content and usability.
- **_ga, _ga_*** (likely Google Analytics) — anonymised visitor statistics. Retained for up to 13 months.
If you do not accept analytics cookies, these will not be set in your browser.
2.3 Marketing cookies (optional)
We use marketing cookies only with your consent to deliver targeted advertising. Currently, MarlboroughPlay does not employ such cookies. If this changes, we'll notify you first and update this statement.
3. Giving and withdrawing consent
The first time you arrive at the site you will see a cookie banner with two choices:
- 'Accept all' — grant permission for analytics and marketing cookies (where applicable).
- 'Essentials only' — only strictly necessary cookies are set.
Your preference remains stored in your browser for 12 months. You can clear this site's cookies whenever you wish to adjust your choice—the banner will reappear on your next visit.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also manage cookies directly from your browser. In most browsers you can:
- view and delete stored cookies;
- block all cookies, or cookies from specific sites;
- set the browser to notify you when a cookie is set.
Guides for the most common browsers:
- **Chrome:** Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- **Firefox:** Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause issues with the site.
5. Retention
Our cookies remain stored according to the schedules outlined above. MarlboroughPlay's cookies last up to 12 months maximum, whilst session cookies clear when you close your browser.
6. Updates to this policy
We update this cookie policy as needed—for instance, when launching new services or when legislation changes. Significant changes are flagged on the site, and the latest amendment date appears at the top of this page.
