Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

Please also read our Privacy Policy for further information about the way in which your personal data is handled.

For the purpose of UK data protection laws, the data controller is Handcrafted Projects, Unit 21, Skillion Business Park, Littleburn Road, DH7 8HG.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Right Reg) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our websites for analytics and other purposes. The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our websites and the purposes they perform are described below.

How can I control cookies?

When you visit our website you have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like more information, please visit https://youradchoices.com/.

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below:

Essential website cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features. They do not enable us to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you.

Analytics and customisation cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise the website for you.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Changes to our Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

Contact

Questions, comments and requests regarding this policy are welcomed and should be addressed to us by writing to the address at the top of this policy, or by using the contact form on our website.

Testimonials

Our team refer service users to Handcrafted to access both the cafe and the workshop facilities. We believe the project to be always welcoming, friendly and non-judgemental. The staff are always happy to show potential users around and are justifiably proud of the space that they have developed. Most importantly the staff are highly skilled in engaging the clients in the benefits of making from wood and plastics to sewing and art. Attendees are from a variety of backgrounds and needs but all are involved and engaged. Space is also given for those that just want to relax and chat. This is a unique project and one we are happy to continue to work in partnership with.

Richard, adult peer support worker
