What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences and to gather information about how a site is used. This policy explains which cookies Chesterfield uses and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our privacy policy.
We use cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. This means that, apart from cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function, we only place cookies on your device after you have given your consent.
Cookies We Use
The table below summarises the categories of cookie we use and whether your consent is required for each.
| Category | Purpose | Example | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Enable core site functions, security and remembering your cookie choices. | Cookie-consent record, session cookie | No |
| Analytics | Measure how visitors use the site so we can improve it. | Google Analytics (_ga) | Yes |
| Affiliate tracking | Attribute a sign-up to us when you follow an affiliate link. | Affiliate-network click ID | Yes |
| Preferences | Remember choices such as display settings. | UI-preference cookie | Optional |
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the site cannot function without them. All other categories are non-essential and are only loaded once you have consented.
Managing Your Consent
When you first visit Chesterfield, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the cookie settings from the banner or the link in our site footer, and your new choice takes effect immediately.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, which allow you to block or delete cookies already stored on your device. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working properly. Guidance for each major browser is available in its help pages.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties rather than by us directly. These include our analytics provider, which helps us understand site usage, and affiliate networks, which record clicks on operator links so that any resulting sign-up is credited to us. These third parties process cookie data under their own privacy policies, and their cookies are only set with your consent.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no agreed industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, so we do not rely on them. Instead, we give you direct control through our cookie banner, which is the most reliable way to manage the cookies we use.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised date.

Your choicesHow to Manage Cookies: Step by Step
- Use the cookie banner. When you first visit, accept or reject non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies only load after you consent.
- Change your mind anytime. Reopen the cookie settings from the banner link to update your choice whenever you like.
- Adjust your browser. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings — look under Privacy or Security.
- Know the trade-off. Blocking some cookies is fine, but a few are needed for the site to work properly, so features may change.
