Cookie policy

Last updated:

This page explains how Central Square uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit this site. Cookies help the site remember your preferences and understand how visitors use our pages, but you remain in control of what your browser accepts.

How this site remembers you

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. When you return, the site reads that file to recognise settings or track your journey across pages. Central Square sets cookies to remember your consent choices and to distinguish one visit from another in our traffic reports.

The cookies this site places directly include a consent record and a session identifier. Both expire when you close your browser or after a set period of inactivity. No personal information such as your name or email address is stored in these files.

The analytics question

We use an analytics service to see which pages attract the most visitors and where people arrive from. That service sets its own cookies to count unique users and sessions. The data it collects is aggregated—Central Square sees overall visit numbers, not individual journeys tied to your identity.

If you decline analytics cookies through the banner on your first visit, the tracking script will not load. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's cookie store and revisiting the site.

Scripts we do not control

Some pages embed content from third parties—videos, maps or social-media widgets. When that content loads, the third party may set cookies under its own policy. Central Square does not control those cookies and cannot see the data they collect.

Before embedding anything, we check that the provider is reputable. If you prefer to block third-party cookies entirely, the embedded content may still display but interactive features might not work.

Your options

Every modern browser lets you refuse cookies or delete the ones already stored. The exact steps vary by browser, but you will usually find cookie controls under Settings or Privacy. Blocking all cookies will not break this site's core pages, though you may see the consent banner on every visit.

You can also set your browser to notify you each time a site tries to place a cookie, so you can decide case by case. Be aware that some websites rely heavily on cookies for login sessions and shopping baskets, so a blanket block may affect your experience elsewhere.

Revisions

We review this policy whenever we add a new feature that changes how cookies are used. The date at the foot of this page shows when it was last updated. Any changes take effect as soon as the revised text is published, and continued use of the site means you accept the updated terms.

If a change is significant—for example, a new category of data collected—we will highlight it in a site notice for a reasonable period. Minor wording improvements and clarifications happen without separate announcement.

This site is for general information only. We do not sell any goods or services through these pages.
