Cookies
This website may use cookies or similar technologies to help the site function properly and, if enabled, to understand how visitors use the site.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website may be used without consent, but non-essential cookies and similar technologies generally require consent. ICO guidance explains that PECR sits alongside UK GDPR for cookies and similar technologies.
If you later add analytics, tracking or advertising tools, this section should be updated to reflect that clearly.

You may have the right to:
Request access to the personal information we hold about you
Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
Ask for information to be deleted in certain circumstances
Object to or restrict certain processing
Withdraw consent where consent is being relied on
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@winegallerytastings.com.
Complaints
If you have concerns about how your information is handled, we would welcome the chance to address them first.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. ICO guidance says a privacy notice should explain people’s rights and how they can complain.
Changes To This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, services or legal requirements. The latest version will always be published on this page.
