Welcome to Join The Table. We use cookies and similar technologies on our website
(https://www.jointhetable.co.uk) to help make your
experience better and to comply with legal obligations. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are,
how we use them, your choices, and how you can manage them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit a
website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store some information about your visit or
preferences. Some cookies are essential for the site’s functioning; others help us improve usability,
understand how the site is used or show you relevant information.
2. Why do we use cookies?
On our site, we use cookies for a variety of reasons, including:
- to ensure the website works properly (for example, remembering your preferences or maintaining a secure session)
- to gather analytics about how visitors use the site so that we can improve it
- to provide functionality from third parties (for example, embedded content, social media buttons, etc.)
- to show you content (including advertising or marketing content) that is relevant to you
3. Which cookies do we use?
Below is a summary of the categories of cookies we use.
| Category | Description | Does consent apply? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Cookies essential for the operation of our website (e.g., security, session cookies). | No — these do not require consent because they are necessary for you to use the service. |
| Functional / Performance | Cookies that remember your preferences or settings (e.g., language choice, region). | Yes — we ask for your consent before placing these. |
| Analytics / Measurement | Cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g., number of visits, pages viewed). | Yes — we ask for your consent. |
| Marketing / Advertising | Cookies used to deliver marketing or advertising or to track your behaviour across websites. | Yes — we ask for your consent. |
Note: If you decline non-essential cookies, you can still use our website, but some features may not work as intended.
4. How we get your consent
We use a cookie banner when you first visit the site which:
- clearly explains that we use cookies and for what purposes
- provides you with the option to accept or reject non-essential cookies (i.e., functional, analytics, marketing) with equal prominence
- does not set non-essential cookies until you have given your valid consent
- lets you change or withdraw your consent at any time
Valid consent means your freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of your wishes
(for example by ticking boxes or by clicking an “Accept” button). Pre-ticked boxes, scrolling, or
continued use of the site without action do not count as valid consent.
5. How to manage or withdraw your cookie preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by:
- clicking on the “Cookie settings” link (or similar) in the footer of our site
- using your browser’s settings to refuse or delete cookies (see your browser’s help section for how to do this)
Please note that deleting or refusing cookies may affect the functionality of the site or your user experience.
6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services (for example, analytics providers,
advertising networks, social media platforms). These cookies may collect information about your online
activity across different websites and build profiles of your interests.
We list these third-party cookies and their purposes in the detailed cookie list (see below). We do not control
all of these third-party cookies — we recommend that you check the privacy and cookie policies of those
third parties for more information.
7. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time (for example if our use of cookies changes or new guidance is
issued). The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect when changes are made. We encourage you to review this
policy periodically.
