Cookie Policy.

Last updated: 1/06/2026

This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on saferbirthproject.co.uk, and how you can control them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" (they remain on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session" cookies (they are deleted when you close your browser).

2. How we use cookies

Our website is built on Wix. Wix places certain cookies on all websites hosted on its platform. We do not run advertising on this website and we do not use cookies for targeted marketing.

We use cookies for three purposes only: to make the website function properly, to understand how visitors use the site, and to remember your cookie consent preferences.

3. Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for the website to function properly. They may support website security, page loading, cookie consent settings, form submissions, and basic website operation.

These cookies cannot usually be switched off through the website because the site may not work properly without them.

Functional cookies

These cookies help remember choices you make, such as cookie preferences or website settings.

Analytics or performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are visited and how people move around the site.

We use this information to improve the website and make it easier for people to find support.

Analytics cookies are only used where they are enabled and, where required, with your consent.

Marketing cookies

At present, SAFER Birth Project does not intentionally use advertising or marketing cookies.

If this changes in future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and visitors will be given appropriate cookie choices.

4. Cookies used by Wix

Because this website is hosted on Wix, Wix may use cookies for important purposes, including:

website security
fraud prevention
system monitoring
website performance
remembering cookie consent choices
enabling forms and other website features
identifying registered users, if applicable

Some Wix cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate.

This website uses a Wix cookie banner to help visitors manage their cookie choices. Non-essential cookies are only used where they are enabled on the site and, where required, after consent has been given.

5. Third-party cookies

Some third-party services may set cookies if they are added to the website. This may include services such as:

Google Analytics
embedded videos
online booking tools
payment providers
contact forms
social media links or embedded content

At present, this website may use third-party tools only where needed to operate the site, respond to enquiries, or understand basic website use.

If additional tools are added in future, this Cookie Policy will be updated.

6. Managing your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may see a cookie banner giving you the option to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

block cookies
delete cookies
receive a warning before cookies are stored
disable third-party cookies

Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.

The ICO says consent for cookies must be freely given, specific and informed, and must involve a clear positive action. It is not enough to hide cookie information inside a difficult-to-find privacy policy.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if the website changes, if new tools are added, or if legal requirements change.

The most recent version will always be available on this page.
