Privacy Policy for North West Kent Group

At North West Kent Group, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information is stored on your device, what data we collect, and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.

What We Store on Your Device

Browser Local Storage

This site uses browser localStorage (a mechanism similar to cookies) to store:

• Authentication tokens (JWTs) — When you log in as a member, a JSON Web Token is stored to maintain your session. This is essential for the login function to work.
• Display preferences — If you change settings such as map zoom level, search filters, sort orders, or view modes, these choices are remembered so you don't have to set them again on each visit.

This storage is strictly necessary for the provision of features you have explicitly requested, and qualifies for the exemption under PECR Regulation 6(4). No consent mechanism is required for this type of storage.

No personal data, analytics identifiers, or tracking information is stored in your browser's local storage.

Analytics

If analytics have been configured for this site, it may use one of the following:

• Google Analytics — sets cookies (_ga, _ga_*, _gid) to collect anonymous usage statistics. These cookies are set by Google, not by North West Kent Group directly.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics — a cookieless analytics solution that collects anonymous page view statistics without storing anything on your device.

What We Do NOT Use

• No advertising or behavioural tracking cookies
• No third-party tracking pixels
• No social media tracking cookies
• No web beacons

Third Party Services
