Cafe Venice

Privacy and cookies

This site collects nothing from you, sets no cookies of its own and runs no advertising trackers. The paragraphs below say exactly what that leaves.

What the site collects

Nothing you type, because there is nothing to type into. There is no contact form, no newsletter sign-up, no account and no booking widget: the menu is a page of text rather than an ordering system. Every page here is static, built from text, a stylesheet and a handful of images.

Ordinary access logs are kept by the web server — IP address, time, page requested, browser string — because a server that logs nothing cannot be defended against abuse. Logs are held briefly and are not used to build a profile of you.

Cookies

This site sets none of its own. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to, and blocking cookies entirely will not change how any page here behaves. There is no embedded map on the visiting page either, which is the usual reason a restaurant site ends up asking permission for something.

The one third party

Nothing loads from a third party at all: no analytics, no advertising pixel, no embedded map, no social widgets, no video, no web fonts. The illustrations on the front page and everywhere else are files on the same server as the text around them.

Your rights

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 you can ask what personal data a business holds about you, have it corrected or deleted, and object to particular uses of it. This website holds nothing beyond short-lived server logs, so a request about the site itself would come back nearly empty; anything given over inside the restaurant is a matter for the restaurant.

Where a business does not answer a data request properly, the Information Commissioner's Office is the regulator for the UK and takes complaints from the public directly.

Children

The restaurant welcomes children; the website is not aimed at them and asks nothing of them. No data about anyone under 13 is knowingly collected here.

Changes

If a processor is ever added — analytics, a booking tool, an embedded map — the change is described in this section rather than folded in quietly.
