Cookies and external maps
How the The Good Shepherd Parish website handles browser storage and third-party map content.

This website does not set its own cookies
The parish website does not use first-party cookies, local storage, session storage, advertising tags, analytics identifiers or device fingerprinting. We do not use these technologies to recognise visitors, remember preferences, measure their activity or advertise to them.
Because there are no optional first-party cookies to accept or reject, the website does not display a general cookie banner.
Google Maps is loaded only when you choose
Our church locations and school profiles offer interactive Google Maps. The maps are not loaded when the page first opens. If you select “Load interactive map”, your browser connects to Google and Google may receive your IP address, device and browser information, set or read cookies, or use similar technologies under its own policies.
You do not need to load a map to read the church or school information. A normal directions link is provided as an alternative and contacts Google only after you choose to follow it.

Technical logs
Like most websites, our hosting and security infrastructure may create server logs when a page is requested. A log can include an IP address, time, requested page, browser information and an error or security event. These records are held on the server rather than placed in your browser and are used to deliver, secure and troubleshoot the website. Our privacy notice explains this processing and your rights.
Other external websites
Links to the Diocese, schools, livestreams, social networks or other services take you to websites that have their own privacy and cookie practices. We do not control them. This notice applies only while you are using this parish website.
If the website changes
We will review this notice before adding analytics, advertising, embedded media or another service that stores information in a visitor’s browser. Where consent is required, the service will not be enabled until an appropriate choice is provided. Questions can be sent to parish.ourladyofwalsingham@northamptondiocese.org.
