Overview: This Cookie Policy explains how Oxford Creative Group Ltd. uses cookies, local storage objects, and similar tracking technologies on oxfordcreattivegroup.org to deliver a secure, responsive, and tailored user experience.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage Objects?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Local storage objects (HTML5 Web Storage) serve a similar function, allowing websites to retain user state preferences locally within your web browser without transmitting data back to the web server on every request.
2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy
We classify cookies and web storage elements used on oxfordcreattivegroup.org into three distinct categories:
Category A: Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies
These cookies are required for basic site operations, protocol routing, server load balancing, and enforcing security protocols. They cannot be disabled without compromising fundamental website functionality.
- Age Consent State: Remembers that a user has confirmed 18+ eligibility.
- Security Tokens: Protects lead submission forms against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).
Category B: Functional & Preference Storage
Functional storage elements remember your personalized choices across browsing sessions:
oxford_lang: Retains your selected language preference (e.g., English, French, German, Spanish, Italian).oxford_cookie_consent: Stores your cookie banner acknowledgment choice ('accepted' or 'declined').
Category C: Analytics & Performance Measurement
Analytical telemetry measures anonymized usage metrics—such as page load times, session durations, screen resolutions, and error frequency—helping our technical team maintain site stability and improve layout accessibility.
3. Third-Party Cookies & Partner Links
When you click on outbound referral links to third-party companion platforms (such as Swipey AI, Lovescape, or Joi AI), those third-party domains may set their own independent cookies to track affiliate referral attribution. Oxford Creative Group Ltd. does not control third-party cookies and recommends reviewing the privacy policies of external sites upon arrival.
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You possess full control over cookie storage in your web browser. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies via our floating Cookie Consent Banner, or configure your web browser settings to block or delete cookies entirely:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Site permissions > Cookies and site data.
