OVERVIEW
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit. This policy explains which cookies the Brassdale website uses, why we use them, and what choices you have.
We use cookies sparingly and only for purposes that help us run the site and understand how it is used. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or sell data to third parties. For details on how we handle personal data more broadly, please read our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small data file that a website places on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit. Cookies are stored in your browser and retrieved when you return to the same site or navigate between pages.
Cookies serve a range of purposes: some are essential for a website to function correctly; others help website operators understand how visitors move through their pages; and others remember your preferences so you do not have to repeat choices.
Cookies do not typically identify you personally — they identify a browser or device. However, in some cases, information from cookies can be combined with other data in a way that does identify individuals, and we treat any such combination in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
SECTION 02
Types of Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies on the Brassdale website:
- Strictly necessary cookies — These are required for the website to function. Without them, services you have requested (such as moving between pages) cannot be provided. These cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences, though your browser may allow you to block them.
- Analytics cookies — These help us understand how visitors interact with our site, which pages are visited most often, and how visitors arrive. Data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. We use this information to make informed decisions about improving the site. You may decline these cookies.
- Preference cookies — These remember choices you make, such as whether you have accepted our cookie notice. They allow the site to behave consistently during your visit and on return visits. You may decline these, but some preferences may not be retained.
We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or any cookie intended to build a profile of your browsing behaviour across websites.
SECTION 03
Cookie Reference Table
The table below lists the specific cookies placed by the Brassdale website.

This table is updated when we add, change, or remove cookies. If you notice a discrepancy, please contact us.
SECTION 04
Third-Party Cookies
The analytics cookies listed above are set by Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics collects data in aggregated form and does not identify individual visitors. Information is processed in accordance with Google's own privacy terms.
We do not embed social media widgets, advertising networks, or other third-party services that would place additional cookies without your knowledge.
If you decline analytics cookies, Google Analytics will not be active during your visit and no analytics data will be recorded.
SECTION 05
Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit our website, a notice will appear offering you the choice to accept or decline optional cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies (which will cause the notice to reappear on your next visit) or by contacting us.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete cookies that have been set.
- Block cookies from specific websites.
- Block all third-party cookies.
- Block all cookies (though this may affect how websites function).
- Delete all cookies when you close the browser.
Browser settings for managing cookies can typically be found under Privacy, Security, or Advanced settings. For guidance specific to your browser:
- Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from operating correctly.
SECTION 06
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If we introduce new categories of cookies or change our use of existing cookies in a material way, we will update the cookie notice on the website accordingly and give visitors the opportunity to revisit their preferences.
