Last updated: 26 October 2026.

This page explains how personal information and cookies are used on the Philanthropic Lodge No. 304 website, philanthropic304.co.uk. For questions about your information or this notice, please contact the lodge.

Information you provide

If you send an enquiry, we use the details you provide to respond and deal with your request. Please avoid including sensitive or confidential information in a general website enquiry. Links to external booking, payment and social media services take you to services with their own privacy notices.

Website operation and analytics

The website uses WordPress and is hosted by IONOS. Technical information, such as IP addresses and browser information, may be processed to deliver and protect the website. Some cookies support essential functions such as signing in and accessing protected areas. Google Analytics is connected through Site Kit to help us understand website use. For information about Google’s processing, see Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Google provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Google advertising

We are setting up Google AdSense to help fund the website. Ad serving depends on Google’s approval and availability. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on previous visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on those visits. Advertising services may process online identifiers, device information and information about interactions with ads.

Where the Google consent message is shown, you can consent, decline consent or manage your choices. The message lists the advertising partners and their purposes, privacy information and available choices. You can revisit your choices using the Privacy and cookie settings link on this website. You can also manage personalised Google advertising in My Ad Center and find choices for participating third-party advertisers at YourAdChoices. Declining personalisation does not necessarily remove all advertising.

Your choices and questions

Your browser lets you review, block or delete cookies; blocking essential cookies may affect website features. You can ask the lodge about personal information held about you, request correction or deletion, or raise an objection to its use, subject to applicable rights and requirements.
