This page explains how Blazespins uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit cakeparty.co.uk. We've written it in plain language so you know exactly what's stored, why it's there, and what control you have over it.
What a cookie is on this site
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It helps the site remember your preferences, recognise you on return visits, and understand how people use the pages. Cookies don't contain personal information like your name or address — they typically hold an anonymous identifier and settings you've chosen.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (session cookies); others stay on your device until they expire or you delete them (persistent cookies). We use both types to keep the site working smoothly and to learn how visitors interact with our content.
Which cookies this portal sets
We place a small number of cookies directly to ensure the site functions properly and to understand how it's being used:
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keep the site secure, remember your cookie consent choice, maintain basic functionality | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics | Measure visitor numbers, popular pages, time spent on site — helps us improve the content | Up to 24 months |
| Preference | Remember settings you've chosen, such as language or display options | Up to 12 months |
Necessary cookies are set automatically because the site can't function without them — they handle security, load balancing, and your consent record. Analytics cookies require your consent; we use them to see which pages are helpful and which aren't. Preference cookies make your experience smoother by remembering choices you've made.
Third-party scripts and their cookies
Like most informational sites, we embed third-party services — analytics platforms, advertising networks, and content-delivery tools. Each of these may place its own cookies on your device, governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than ours.
Common third parties you'll encounter here include Google Analytics (measures traffic patterns), advertising partners (show relevant promotions), and hosting infrastructure (delivers pages quickly). We don't control what those services collect, but we've chosen providers with clear privacy practices and we limit what data we share with them.
If you'd like to know exactly which third-party cookies are active on your current visit, your browser's developer tools can list them — usually under a "Storage" or "Cookies" tab.
Turning cookies off in your browser
Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies. The steps vary slightly by platform:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies".
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → select your blocking level or click "Manage Data" to remove specific ones.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → tick "Block all cookies" or manage individual site settings under "Manage Website Data".
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data → toggle "Block third-party cookies" or choose "Block all cookies".
Worth remembering: blocking all cookies will break some site features. You won't stay logged in anywhere, preferences won't save, and interactive tools may stop working. Blocking third-party cookies alone is usually a good middle ground — it cuts off most tracking while leaving site functionality intact.
When this policy changes
We review this document whenever we add a new service or update how the site works. Any significant change — a new analytics provider, a different consent mechanism — will be reflected here with a revised date at the bottom. We won't email you about minor wording tweaks, but we will if the types of cookies we use or the data they collect changes materially.
Check back occasionally if you're concerned about what's being stored. The date below tells you when we last made a substantive update.
Questions about cookies
If something here isn't clear, or you'd like to know more about a specific cookie you've seen on the site, write to us at [email protected]. We'll respond within 48 hours during the working week.
