This page explains what happens to personal data when you use theshish.co.uk. It covers this website only. Eating with us, ringing us and ordering food are separate, and where they are run by another company we say so below.
Who we are
The Shish Turkish Restaurant, 8 Queen Street, Horsham, West Sussex RH13 5AF. You can reach us on 01403 257777.
The registered details of the business behind this restaurant are not published on this page yet. If you need them in order to make a request about your data, ring us on 01403 257777 and we will give them to you.
What this website collects
Very little. There is no contact form, no newsletter sign-up, no account and no shopping basket on this site. It is a set of static pages, plus the analytics described next.
Analytics and cookies
We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used, so we know what to improve. It only sets cookies if you accept them in the bar at the bottom of the page. Until you do, and if you reject them, it sets none: Google receives a cookieless signal that a page was viewed, with no identifier that links one visit to the next.
If you accept, Google Analytics sets two cookies, _ga and _ga_ followed by our property ID, which last up to two years and let it recognise your browser on a later visit. The lawful basis is your consent. Google processes this data for us under its own terms, and it may be handled outside the UK; see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. We do not use advertising features, and nothing is shared for ads.
Your answer is remembered in your browser’s local storage, not in a cookie, so we do not ask on every page. You can change it at any time, and rejecting after accepting deletes the analytics cookies: .
Apart from that, this site stores nothing in your browser. If a browser extension reports other cookies on a page here, they came from one of the third parties below rather than from us.
Server logs
The site is hosted by Vercel, which records requests the way any web server does: IP address, the page requested, the time, and the browser’s user-agent string. That is how it serves the pages and how it blocks attacks, and it is the lawful basis of legitimate interests. We do not use those logs to build a picture of individual visitors, and we do not combine them with anything else.
Other companies’ services on this site
The map
Our find us page and the bottom of the homepage embed a Google Map. It loads from Google, which means Google receives your IP address and may set cookies in your browser when the map appears. That is Google’s processing under its own privacy policy, not ours. The rest of each page works with the map blocked, if you would rather block it.
Ordering and booking
Order Now and Book a Table leave this site for order.theshish.co.uk, which is a separate ordering and reservations system. Anything you type there — your name, your phone number, your address, your payment details — is collected by that system and handled under its terms and privacy notice, which you should read there. Nothing you enter on it comes back to this website.
Links to review sites and our hygiene rating
Links to Google, Tripadvisor, Instagram, Facebook and the Food Standards Agency are ordinary links: nothing is sent anywhere until you click one, and after that you are on their site under their rules.
Fonts and images
Every font and every photograph on this site is served from our own domain. Nothing is fetched from Google Fonts or a third-party CDN. The only other request a page makes on its own is the analytics tag above.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask what personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, object to how it is used, and complain to the regulator. This website itself holds nothing that names you; the analytics above are counted by browser, not by person. If you have eaten with us, booked a table or ordered food, though, we may hold something from that, and the same rights apply.
Ring us on 01403 257777 and ask. If you are not satisfied with how we handle it, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If this notice changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. There is no mailing list to notify, because we do not have one.
