What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Noble Connection — are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through a website, such as analytics or social media sharing.

In plain terms: Cookies help our website remember you, work properly, and help us understand how people use it so we can improve it. We do not use cookies to serve advertising or to track you across other websites.

Why We Use Cookies

Noble Connection uses cookies for the following reasons:

  • To make the website work: Some cookies are essential for the site to function — for example, to maintain your session as you navigate between pages.
  • To understand how people use our site: Analytics cookies help us see which pages are most visited, how long people spend on the site, and where they come from — so we can improve the experience for everyone.
  • To remember your preferences: Functional cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent preferences.

We do not use cookies to build profiles of individual users for commercial purposes, and we do not sell cookie data to third parties.

Types of Cookies We Use

Cookies can be categorised by their purpose and by how long they last. Here is an overview of the four main types and how we use each one:

Essential

Required

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the site cannot work properly.

Analytics

Optional

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors move around the site. All information is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and improve how the site works.

Functional

Optional

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. They allow the site to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent decision.

Marketing

Optional

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising or social media partners to build a profile of your interests. We currently make limited use of marketing cookies. Where they are used, you can opt out via the cookie consent banner.

Session vs persistent cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to keep you logged in or to remember what is in your basket as you navigate through our site.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time after your session ends. They are used to remember your preferences and recognise you when you return to our site.

Specific Cookies We Use

The table below lists the specific cookies currently in use on the Noble Connection website. This list is updated periodically as our use of cookies changes.

Cookie Name Type Purpose Duration
nc_cookie_consent Essential / Functional Stores your cookie consent preferences so you are not asked again on each visit 12 months

This list reflects our current cookie usage and will be updated as we add or remove cookies from our Website. If you notice a cookie not listed here, please contact us.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Website are set by third-party services we use. We have limited control over these cookies as they are managed by the respective third parties. The main third-party services that may set cookies are:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Website. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

JustGiving

When you click a donate button that takes you to JustGiving, you leave our Website and enter JustGiving's platform. JustGiving may set their own cookies in accordance with their Cookie Policy. We have no control over cookies set by JustGiving.

Social media

Our Website includes links to our social media profiles on Instagram and X (Twitter). If you interact with social media buttons or embedded content, those platforms may set cookies. Please refer to the cookie policies of Instagram and X/Twitter for more information.

WordPress / hosting platform

Our Website is built on WordPress. WordPress itself may set functional and security cookies as part of its standard operation. These are essential for the website to function correctly.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several ways to manage or opt out of cookies:

Cookie consent banner

When you first visit our site, you can choose which optional cookies to accept via our consent banner. You can update your preferences at any time.

Browser settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • See what cookies are stored and delete them individually
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies from specific sites
  • Block all cookies from all sites
  • Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Here are direct links to cookie management instructions for the most popular browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

Important note on disabling cookies

Please be aware that disabling certain cookies — particularly essential ones — may affect the functionality of our Website. Some features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to browse or donate.

Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but you can manage your preferences using the methods described above.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we introduce new functionality to the Website, adopt new analytics tools, or if there are changes in applicable law or guidance from the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Where changes are significant, we will display a notice on the Website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
