Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. A site can also save information in your browser's own storage, which works in a similar way; this policy covers both.

2. What this site stores itself

If you book the golf simulator, we save the booking reference in your browser's storage, so you can see and cancel it on this device. Staff who update the daily course status get a sign-in cookie on the update page, which lasts up to 30 days. Neither is used to track you, and neither needs consent: they are strictly necessary for something you asked to do.

3. Visitor statistics

We count visits with Plausible Analytics. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and does not identify you: it counts page views, and actions such as tapping a phone number or a booking link, as totals. Because it stores nothing on your device, it runs without asking. Our Privacy Policy explains how we use the figures.

4. The simulator booking

Our Simulator page books the bay through the club's own booking system. It sets no cookies. It saves your booking reference in your browser's storage (see above) so you can cancel from the same device; clearing your browser data removes it, and you can still cancel by calling us on 01409 253177.

5. The tee-time booking system (BRS Golf)

Our Book a Tee Time page shows BRS Golf's booking system. Within our page it sets a booking session cookie, a load-balancing cookie and a Cloudflare security cookie, and Stripe sets a fraud-prevention cookie used for card payments. We treat these as strictly necessary for the booking you have asked to make. BRS Golf sets these cookies itself, not us, and BRS Golf's own cookie policy governs them. If you open BRS Golf in its own tab, its site also uses Google Analytics, which BRS Golf's own cookie policy covers.

6. The Google map

Our Contact and Visit pages show a Google map. In our check it set no cookies and stored nothing on your device. Google does receive your IP address when the map loads, as with any Google service, and if you already have Google cookies on your device (for example because you are signed in to Google), your browser may send them to Google with the request. If you would prefer to avoid that, both pages also give our full address and a plain link to Google Maps.

7. Your choices

Because nothing on the site needs your consent, there is no cookie banner or cookie setting to choose. You can clear cookies and site data in your browser's settings at any time.

If we ever add something that sets cookies needing consent, we will update this page and ask before it loads.
