Cookies and browser storage
This website serves its fonts and images locally. Google Analytics is optional and loads only after you opt in. We have not added advertising pixels, embedded maps or a third-party chat widget. The WhatsApp preview button does not connect to WhatsApp.
Essential choices
A first-party cookie named bg_privacy_v1 remembers the cookie preference you select for six months. It contains the preference and expiry time, not your name or email address. A browser-session setting named bg_news_session remembers when you dismiss the news panel for the current visit. These choices do not track your activity across other websites.
Optional preferences
If you accept preference storage, bg_news_dismissed is stored in your browser to remember a dismissed news panel for 30 days. It stores only an expiry time. It is not set if you reject optional storage. Withdrawing this choice removes that saved preference.
You can allow or reject analytics separately from preferences in Cookie settings. Accepting optional cookies does not give consent to receive marketing emails.
Change your choice
Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time to accept or reject optional preference storage. You can also clear site data using your browser controls. The website remains usable whichever choice you make.
News and offers by email
The signup link opens a request in your email app. Nothing is sent until you choose to send it. The request asks to receive Bloomsbury news and offers by email; contact hello@thebloomsburygroup.co.uk to withdraw that request or unsubscribe. Read our privacy policy for contact information.
Links and private access
Links to councils or maps open those services. Any storage they use is governed by their own notices. The private review version of this site also uses the hosting service’s sign-in and access controls; these are separate from the website preferences described here.
