Your Privacy Matters to Us
The Sovereign Grace Union (SGU) respects your privacy and wants you to feel confident when visiting our website.
Like most websites, ours may use small files called cookies to help the website function correctly, remember certain preferences and understand how visitors use the site.
This page explains what cookies are, why they may be used and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit it.
Some cookies are necessary for a website to work properly. Others help website owners understand how their websites are being used or enable additional features.
Cookies do not necessarily identify you by name. However, some cookies and online identifiers can involve personal information, so their use is subject to privacy legislation.
Types of Cookies
Depending on the features enabled on our website, the following categories may apply.
1. Essential Cookies
These help the website operate securely and correctly. They may support basic functions, remember privacy choices or help prevent technical problems.
Cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested do not require your consent.
2. Website Statistics
These may help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most frequently.
This information can help us improve the accessibility, content and usefulness of the SGU website.
Where statistical cookies qualify for an exemption under UK law, we will explain their use and provide a simple, free way to object. Where consent is required, we will ask for it before using them.
3. Optional Third-Party Services
Some website features, such as external media or payment services, may use cookies operated by another organisation.
Where relevant, we will explain these services and provide appropriate choices. Third-party services may also have their own privacy policies.

You should be able to:
- Accept optional cookies that require your consent.
- Reject those cookies without losing access to the ordinary content of our website.
