Cookie Policy
Last updated: 19 July 2026
This page explains what cookies and similar technologies this website uses, why, and how you can control them. It applies to this website, which Chatteris Parish Church operates using the Qahal platform.
Strictly necessary (no consent needed)
These are required for the site to work and can’t be switched off. They don’t track you and aren’t used for advertising.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
sb-* | Keeps you signed in if you have a staff/admin account on this platform. | Session / up to 1 week |
qahal_consent | Remembers your cookie choices from the banner on this site. | Up to 6 months |
Embedded media (only with your consent)
Some pages — sermon videos — can embed content from YouTube or Vimeo. These are third-party services: once you choose to load their content, they may set their own cookies to, for example, remember your video playback preferences. We only load this content after you accept “embedded media & maps” in the cookie banner, or after you click to load an individual embed — until then, you’ll see a placeholder instead of the embed.
We don’t control what these providers do with data once their content is loaded — see Google/YouTube’s and Vimeo’s own privacy policies for details.
Analytics
This site does not currently use any analytics or advertising cookies.
Managing your choices
You can change your mind at any time. Rejecting or clearing your choice takes effect immediately and stops any embedded content from loading automatically.
