Legal & policy
Cookie Policy
This page explains how cookies are used on the Ashbourne Commercial Limited website. It is written for visitors who want to know what is stored on their device, why, and how to change it. It is not marketing copy.
What this covers
Small files, and what they do here
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. When you return to a page, the browser sends it back, which lets the site remember a setting or recognise a repeat visit. Some cookies are set by the site itself; others are set by services the site relies on. On this site, cookies are used for a narrow set of jobs: keeping the site working, understanding which pages are read, and remembering choices you have already made.
Policy status
The cookies you will meet
Each row below names one kind of cookie, what it is for, and how long it usually stays on your device. Durations describe the cookie's own lifetime; your browser settings and any manual clearing you do will shorten them.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell information gathered through them. Where an embedded service is used, that provider's own cookie policy applies to what it sets.
Why consent matters
Consent is not a formality. It is the point at which you decide which non-essential files may be stored on your device — and the point at which you can take that decision back.
Managing your choice
You are in charge of what stays
You can change your mind at any time. Most browsers let you see stored cookies, delete them individually, and block new ones for a single site or for everything. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of this site, but everything else is yours to decide.
If you use several browsers or devices, remember that each one keeps its own set of cookies and its own settings.

1
Use the banner on your first visit
The notice that appears when you first arrive lets you accept or refuse the non-essential categories. Your answer is stored as a preference cookie so it is not asked again.
-
2
Adjust it in your browser
Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all include a privacy or storage section where you can review and delete cookies for this domain. Clearing them signs your browser out of the choices it remembered.
-
3
Block third-party embeds
If you would rather no embedded service set anything, block third-party cookies by default and allow them per site. Some embedded content, such as a map, may then stop loading.

Ask us if anything is unclear
If a cookie is still on your device and you cannot tell where it came from, send us a note with the browser you use and we will look at it with you. The same address handles privacy questions generally.
Questions visitors ask
Do I have to accept cookies to read this site?
No. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working and are set regardless, but analytics and preference cookies are optional. You can refuse them and still read every page.
Does refusing cookies change what I see?
Pages, text and contact details stay the same. What changes is that we no longer see which pages are read in aggregate, and any embedded content that relies on third-party cookies may not load.
How do I delete cookies already stored?
Open your browser's settings, find the privacy or storage section, and remove cookies for this domain. Deleting them clears any saved preference, so the notice will appear again on your next visit.
Are cookies used to decide who sees the site?
No. Nothing here is used to build an advertising profile or to gate access. Analytics tell us whether a page is useful; they do not identify you as an individual.
Will this policy change?
If the cookies we use change, this page is updated to match. The wording you are reading reflects how the site behaves now; check back if you want to confirm a detail before relying on it.
In short
Essential cookies run the site. Everything else is your call.
