Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Resonant History Tours uses cookies and similar technologies on resonantes.pro. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, but it is intended to give you a clearer picture of what cookies are, why we use them and how you can make informed choices about them when visiting our website for Chester guided tours and city walks.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, which can make future visits easier and help site operators understand how their pages are being used. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, tags and scripts that perform related functions.
Why we use cookies
We use some cookies because they are necessary for the basic operation of the website. For example, they may help pages load correctly, support security features, remember your cookie preferences or maintain basic session functionality while you browse information about our Roman Chester, Rows or private tour services.
We may also use cookies or similar tools for performance and analytics purposes. These help us understand how visitors move through the website, which pages attract the most interest, whether users find our contact information easily and how we might improve page design, wording or navigation. For instance, analytics may show us whether guests are spending more time on our Roman walls tour page, our private booking page or our Chester family trail description. This kind of insight helps us improve the usefulness of the site without identifying individual visitors unnecessarily.
Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the operation of the website and do not require prior consent under normal UK rules. Preference cookies remember your settings, such as whether you have already responded to our cookie banner. Analytics cookies help us understand usage patterns so we can improve content and performance. If we ever use marketing or advertising cookies, we would do so only in accordance with applicable consent requirements and would describe them clearly in our consent tools.
How long cookies stay on your device
Some cookies are session cookies, meaning they disappear when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies and remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually. The lifespan varies depending on the cookie’s purpose. For example, a consent-preference cookie may remain longer than a temporary session cookie because it exists to remember your choices on return visits.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that support our website, such as analytics platforms, map providers, booking tools or embedded content. These third parties may collect data in accordance with their own privacy notices. We choose service providers carefully, but we do not control every aspect of how their technologies operate on their own systems. You should therefore review their policies if you want detailed information about their individual practices.
Consent and your choices
When required by law, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You can accept, reject or manage non-essential categories through our cookie notice or settings tools where available. If you later change your mind, you can revisit those settings and update your preferences. Refusing some non-essential cookies will not usually stop you from accessing the core information on our site, although some features or convenience elements may work less smoothly.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most web browsers let you review, block or delete cookies through their settings. You can usually find these controls under sections relating to privacy, security or site data. Blocking all cookies may affect how websites function and can interfere with booking forms, saved preferences or other routine features. If you are unsure, your browser’s help documentation should explain how to manage site data in more detail.
How cookie data relates to personal data
Some cookie-derived information, especially when combined with other data, may be treated as personal data under applicable privacy law. Where that is the case, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the broader principles described there, including fairness, transparency, data minimisation and security.
Policy updates
We may amend this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect legal developments, changes in technology or updates to the services we use. If the changes are material, we may refresh our consent tools or bring the update to your attention on the website. The latest version will always be published on this page with the date of revision shown at the top.
