Cookie Policy

Last updated: 17 August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains the limited browser storage used by the The Tennis House website. We use essential storage for site operation and do not use advertising trackers on these pages. The description below matches the current static site behaviour: a local storage notice key, a form timing value on the contact page, and ordinary hosting logs that may be created when pages or forms are requested.

The Tennis House is an tennis club website with a club inquiry form, not an online checkout or live booking service. Browser storage on this site supports the cookie notice and basic form protection rather than advertising profiles. Personal details you type into the inquiry form are handled under the privacy policy.

1. Cookies and local storage

  1. Cookies.Cookies are small text files a browser may store and send back on later requests. Some sites use cookies for sign-in, preferences or analytics. This static club site relies mainly on local storage rather than a broad set of cookies.
  2. Local storage.Local storage lets a website save a value in your browser until you clear it. On The Tennis House, local storage remembers whether you accepted the cookie notice. It stays on your device until removed through browser settings or private browsing behaviour.
  3. Session vs persistent.Session storage disappears when a browser tab closes. Local storage and many cookies can persist across visits. The notice key used here is persistent local storage, not a session-only value.
  4. Why both terms appear.Visitors often ask about "cookies" when any browser storage is involved. This policy uses both terms so the description matches common questions and the actual technical setup.

2. Storage items used on this site

  1. Cookie notice key — name.tennis_house_cookie_notice_ok. Saved in local storage when you click Accept on the cookie banner.
  2. Cookie notice key — purpose.Records that you saw the notice so it does not appear on every visit. It does not store enquiry form answers or payment information.
  3. Cookie notice key — duration.Remains until you clear site storage or use a browser mode that discards local storage at the end of a session.
  4. Cookie notice key — type.Essential preference storage for site operation. Not used for advertising.
  5. Form timing value — name.Hidden field started_at on the contact page, filled when the page loads.
  6. Form timing value — purpose.Submitted with the enquiry form to help prevent instant automated posts and support basic spam protection together with an unused company honeypot field.
  7. Form timing value — duration.Held in the page until submission or reload; not stored as a long-term browser profile. A new timestamp is set each time you open the contact page.
  8. Form timing value — type.Essential technical form data. Not used for advertising or checkout.
  9. Hosting logs — name.Standard server and hosting logs created when pages or forms are requested.
  10. Hosting logs — purpose.Support security, troubleshooting and ordinary website maintenance. May include request timing and connection metadata.
  11. Hosting logs — duration.Determined by hosting configuration and operational needs rather than a value stored in your browser.
  12. Hosting logs — type.Server-side operational records. Not advertising cookies.
  13. What is not stored for advertising.These pages are not set up to place advertising cookies or marketing pixels that track browsing for advertising audiences.

3. Why we use this storage

  1. Essential operation.The notice key and form timing values support basic website function and enquiry handling. They are not used to build advertising profiles on these pages.
  2. No advertising trackers.These legal and club pages are not set up to use advertising cookies or marketing pixels. The site script focuses on navigation, the cookie notice, form timing and ordinary page interactions such as FAQ accordion behaviour where that feature appears.
  3. Limited retention in your browser.Local storage values remain until you clear them or accept the notice again after clearing. The Tennis House does not remotely delete local storage on your device through this static site.
  4. Spam and misuse reduction.The form timing field and unused company honeypot field on the contact form help reduce automated abuse. They are not payment or advertising tools.
  5. Separate from personal form answers.The notice key and form timing tools are technical. The personal details you type into the enquiry form are handled as described in the privacy policy.

4. If you decline or never accept

  1. No separate reject button.The cookie notice offers Accept to save your preference in local storage. If you do not click Accept, the banner may remain visible on later visits until you accept or clear storage.
  2. Browsing without accepting.You can still read club pages without accepting the notice. Essential page content remains available. The banner may overlay part of the page until dismissed by accepting or until storage is cleared in a way that hides it temporarily.
  3. Form submission.The contact form does not require accepting the cookie notice before submission, but basic JavaScript is needed for form timing and site behaviour as described here.
  4. No advertising consequence.Because this site does not use advertising trackers on these pages, declining or ignoring the notice does not change advertising profile behaviour here. It mainly affects whether the notice preference is saved on your device.
  5. Alternative contact.If browser settings interfere with the form, use the contact form, email [email protected] or call +64 21 852 201.

5. If you clear storage

  1. Cookie notice may return.If you clear local storage for this site, the notice may appear again until you accept it once more.
  2. Form still needs a working browser.Clearing storage does not remove the need for basic browser functionality to load the contact page, run the site script and submit the form.
  3. Already sent enquiries stay with us.Clearing your browser does not delete an enquiry that was already submitted or sent by email. Contact us if you need an enquiry updated or cancelled.
  4. New timestamp on reload.When you reopen the contact page, a new started-at timestamp is set for that visit so timing checks can run again.
  5. Multiple browsers or devices.Accepting the notice on one browser does not automatically hide it on another browser or device. Each browser keeps its own local storage.

6. Third-party embeds

  1. No third-party embeds currently.The Tennis House club and legal pages reviewed for this policy do not currently embed third-party widgets such as social media feeds, video players or external analytics panels that would set their own cookies.
  2. Linked pages.Ordinary links to other websites may take you away from The Tennis House. Those sites may use their own cookies under their own policies.
  3. Font and icon assets.Site styling may load assets hosted with the site files. This policy describes behaviour observed on the current static setup rather than every possible future embed.
  4. Future changes.If third-party tools are added later, this policy should be updated before they are used in a way that affects visitors.

7. Browser control

  1. Clear local storage or cookies.You can clear local storage or cookies in your browser settings at any time. Exact steps depend on your browser and device. Look for site data, storage or privacy controls in settings.
  2. Block storage where supported.If you block local storage entirely, the cookie notice may keep appearing because the acceptance value cannot be saved on your device.
  3. Private browsing.In private or incognito windows, storage may be discarded when the session ends, which can cause the notice to show again on a later visit.
  4. Site script dependency.If scripts are blocked, the cookie notice and contact form may not behave as described. You can still contact The Tennis House through email or phone.
  5. General guidance.Most modern browsers offer a privacy or site-settings area where you can view stored data per website and remove it selectively. Mobile browsers provide similar controls in their settings menus.
  6. After clearing one site only.Removing storage for The Tennis House alone usually resets the notice preference without affecting other websites you use.

8. Cookie notice and privacy policy

  1. What the notice explains.The banner at the bottom of pages states that The Tennis House uses local storage for the cookie notice and basic form preferences. It links to this cookie policy for detail.
  2. Accept action.Clicking Accept saves tennis_house_cookie_notice_ok with the value yes in local storage so the banner can be hidden on later visits from the same browser.
  3. Privacy policy relationship.Technical storage is described here. Personal information from enquiry forms is described in the privacy policy, including how contact details and message content are used.
  4. Cross-reference.Section 8 of the privacy policy summarises browser storage and links back to this page for full detail.

9. Updates to this policy

  1. When we update.If browser storage behaviour changes, we may revise this Cookie Policy so it continues to describe the live site. Updates may reflect new form fields, scripts or hosting practices.
  2. Last updated date.The date at the top of this page shows when the policy text was last revised.
  3. Review after changes.If you manage browser privacy closely, review this page after updates to see whether new storage items were added.
