Cookie Policy

Effective Date: July 22, 2026

This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the Village of Batavia website.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and provide information to site operators about how a site is being used.

How This Website Uses Cookies

This website uses cookies in the following general categories.

Essential cookies. These are required for the website to function. They support basic operations such as page navigation, security, and load balancing. The site cannot operate properly without them, and they cannot be disabled through the site.

Functional cookies. These allow the site to remember choices you make, such as language or display preferences, so your experience is consistent across visits.

Analytics cookies. These help the Village understand how visitors use the site, including which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter errors. This information is collected and reviewed in aggregate. It is used to improve the website and is not used to identify individual visitors.

Third Party Cookies

This website is built and hosted on a third party website platform, and that platform may set cookies necessary for the site to operate and to provide analytics. Pages that include embedded content from other services, such as video players, maps, or social media, may allow those services to set their own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the companies that provide them, and the Village does not control them.

What This Website Does Not Do

The Village does not use cookies to collect personal information about you, does not sell information collected through cookies, and does not use cookies for advertising or to build marketing profiles of visitors.

Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view the cookies stored on your device, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, and block third party cookies. Instructions vary by browser and are available in your browser's help menu.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how this website functions. Some features may not work as intended.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting. There is currently no common industry standard for how websites should respond to that signal, and this website does not respond to it.

Public Records

Information collected through this website may constitute a public record under the Ohio Public Records Act. See the Village Privacy Policy for further information.

Changes to This Policy

The Village may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted to this page, and the effective date above will be revised accordingly.
