How our website uses cookies

Our website is built and hosted on Wix. Wix places certain essential cookies and similar technologies that are needed for the website to function properly. These may include cookies used for security, fraud prevention, site stability, website rendering, session management and core website functionality.

We may also use third-party services on our website, including PayPal for donations, Mailchimp for newsletter sign-ups, and analytics tools such as Wix Analytics or Google Analytics 4 if enabled.

We may use cookies and similar technologies, where you have given consent, to understand how visitors use our website, measure the effectiveness of our communications and help us promote Hanwell Carnival. We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
