Change Your Settings Turn optional cookies on or off at any time.
When you first visit our site, a banner asks which optional cookies you allow. You can change your mind at any time:
You can also use the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of any page, or block and delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works without optional cookies, though the language menu needs translation turned on. Turning a category off deletes its cookies from your browser.
What Cookies Are A quick explanation.
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser so it can remember something, such as a choice you made, between pages or visits. Websites also use similar browser storage and scripts that work the same way. On this page, “cookies” means all of these.
Cookies on This Site Every cookie we set, what it does and how long it lasts.
| Cookie | What it does | Type |
|---|---|---|
cc_cookieRiverValley | Remembers your cookie choices | Essential 6 months |
wp_consent_*RiverValley | Passes your cookie choices to the parts of the site that need them | Essential 30 days |
googtransGoogle Translate | Remembers the language you picked | Translation Until you close your browser |
_ALGOLIAAlgolia | Random ID used to measure which search results get clicked | Search improvement Off unless you turn it on 6 months |
Durations are the longest a cookie lasts.
Services That Set Their Own Cookies Content from other companies, under their policies.
Some parts of our site load content from other companies. Those companies may set their own cookies, which are controlled by their policies rather than ours:
- Google Translate runs the language menu. It loads only when you open the menu or have chosen a language.
- Google Maps shows maps on our location pages.
- YouTube, Vimeo and Bunny.net load when you play a video.
- Cloudflare Turnstile checks forms for spam.
Google Analytics Counts visits without cookies.
Google Analytics runs on our site without cookies, for every visitor. It stores nothing in your browser and uses no ID that links your page views together. We also limit what it receives: advertising features are off, we never send it names, contact details, form contents or search terms, and detailed data is deleted after two months. Our Privacy Policy has the details.
If you would rather it not count your visits at all, you can block Google Analytics on every website with Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
Changes to This Policy How we keep this page current.
We will update this page when the cookies we use change, and change the date at the top.
