8. Website and cookies.

Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser (for example, Chrome or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow your browser to store things like user preferences so that the website can recognise you when you come back, and respond appropriately. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but you can choose to reject cookies by changing your browser settings. However, this may reduce the functionality of features such as contact forms and thereby prevent you from taking full advantage of our website.

This site uses Google Analytics to help us understand more about the demographics of visitors to our website. We do not store or keep any of this information on our site, servers or systems. The Google Analytics privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

9. Third party websites.

Our site may from time to time have links to other websites not owned or controlled by us. The majority of such links will be to sites that are related to the sport of lawn bowls, or to sites that are supporters or sponsors of the club. Boyne Tannum Bowls Club is not responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites. We would encourage our users to read the privacy statements of each and every website that they visit.
