Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in the same way. We use them only where they are needed for the site to function.

• Authentication — keeps you signed in to your dashboard or admin area between pages and visits. Removed when you sign out.
• Memorial PIN access — a short-lived signed cookie that remembers you have entered the correct PIN for a protected memorial, so you are not asked repeatedly.
• Security — used to protect sign-in and PIN entry against repeated failed attempts and abuse.
• Anonymous visit counting — memorial views and QR scans are counted using a daily-rotating anonymous identifier so owners can see how often a page is visited. It does not identify you and cannot be used to track you across other websites.

We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party analytics products that build profiles of visitors. Memorial pages never carry advertising.

You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking the cookies listed above will prevent you from signing in or from viewing a PIN-protected memorial, because those cookies are strictly necessary for those features to work.

For how we handle personal data more generally, please read our Privacy Policy. Any questions can be sent to theirstory.co.uk@gmail.com.
