What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device by websites. They can help a website work properly, remember choices, or understand how visitors use a site.

Cookies on this website

The Black Lion website does not set its own analytics cookies, advertising cookies or tracking cookies. There is no contact form, newsletter sign-up, login area or online booking system.

The site stores your cookie preference in your browser, using a first-party preference cookie or local browser storage, so it can remember whether you have chosen to allow or block the embedded Facebook feed. This preference is used only to remember your choice and is kept for up to six months.

Facebook feed

The homepage can show an embedded Facebook feed so visitors can see the latest updates from The Black Lion. This feed is provided by Meta/Facebook and may use cookies or similar technologies. Facebook may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information and the page you are viewing, especially if you are logged into Facebook.

The Facebook feed is not loaded until you choose to allow Facebook cookies. If you keep Facebook cookies switched off, the homepage shows a holding message with a link to open the Facebook page directly.

External links

The website may also link to external services, such as Google Maps for directions and Facebook for social updates. If you open or interact with an external service, that service may use cookies or similar technologies under its own policy.

Managing cookies

You can change your Facebook feed preference from the holding message on the homepage. You can also block or delete cookies and site storage through your browser settings, and manage Facebook privacy and cookie settings through your Facebook account and browser settings.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if new website features or services are added.
