Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies and similar technologies this website uses and the choices you have. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

What cookies and local storage are

Cookies are small files that a website places on your device. Local storage is a similar space inside your browser. Both can remember something between visits, for example that you have already dismissed a notice.

What this website stores

We keep this deliberately small. Right now the site stores one item itself and does not run advertising or analytics tracking:

• tfc-cookie-notice (local storage, essential): remembers that you pressed OK on the cookie notice so it does not appear again. It holds only the word accepted, stays until you clear your browser data and is never sent to us.

Third-party content

Some pages load content from other companies. When that happens, their own cookies or similar technologies may apply:

• Google Maps: review pages show an embedded map from Google. Loading it sends your IP address and browser details to Google, which may set cookies of its own. Google's policies are at policies.google.com.
• Links to social networks and venues: clicking a link to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, Pinterest or a venue takes you to their site, which has its own cookie rules.

If we add analytics or marketing cookies

If we ever add cookies that are not strictly necessary, such as analytics, we will ask for your permission first, update this page and change the cookie notice to give you a real choice.

Controlling cookies

You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Doing so may mean the cookie notice appears again. Blocking third-party cookies stops embedded maps from setting their own, though the map may still load.
