Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide information to the site owners. There are two main kinds of cookies: session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device until deleted or until they reach their expiry date.
Ealing Gurdwara uses cookies to keep this website running securely and to understand how visitors use it. We do not use cookies for advertising or to sell your data to third parties.
When you first visit our site, a banner will ask for your consent before we set any non-essential cookies. You can accept all cookies or continue without accepting analytics cookies.
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require your consent under UK PECR.
| Cookie name | Expiry | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sessionid | 2 weeks | Set by Django to manage your login session. Allows the site to remember that you are logged in as you move between pages. |
| csrftoken | 1 year | A security token used to protect forms on the site against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Required for any form submission (contact, newsletter, etc.). |
| cookie_consent | 1 year | Stores your cookie preference (accepted or declined) so we do not show you the consent banner on every page visit. |
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most visited and how people arrive at the site. This helps us improve the website. These cookies are only set if you accept analytics cookies via our consent banner.

You can change your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies for this site and reloading the page — the consent banner will reappear.
