Cookie Policy
English Heritage is committed to the protection of your rights and your privacy.
Last Updated 08 November 2023.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are very small text files placed on your phone or computer hard drive when you’re on the internet. They were originally developed in 1995, and the word comes from ‘magic cookie’ – a computer programming term for a piece of information shared between pieces of software. Cookies can be thought of as a digital ID card, helping websites know when you are a returning user. They don’t hold your private information and the information stored can not identify you directly.
WHY USE COOKIES?
Websites use these cookies to help enhance your user experience. We can also use them to improve our website services in the future. They help us :
Assess how many people are using our website. Monitoring this helps make sure there's enough capacity to avoid the website slowing down. This can also help us understand how to make improvements.
Recognise your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during the same session or task.
Show that you may already have filled in your username and password details, so you don't need to repeat that for every web page that asks for it.
HOW DO I MANAGE MY COOKIE SETTINGS?
You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie banner any time you visit our website. You can manage these cookies in your internet browser settings. Use the links below or search for cookies in the 'help' function in your browser to find out more. Please note that these links will take you to other websites, and English Heritage cannot accept responsibility for the information contained and the setting of cookies on these other sites.
If you change your cookie settings, some of the functionality of our website may be affected in your experience (for example, the ability to recognise your details so you don’t have to input them again).
