Cookie policy for Captain-marlin.org.uk
Start playingThis page explains how Captainmarlin — the name under which this site, captain-marlin.org.uk, publishes information — uses cookies when you visit. It covers what gets stored on your device, why, and how to switch any of it off without losing access to the site.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file saved by your browser when you load a page here. It lets the site recognise repeat visits, keep basic settings between pages, and understand which content gets read. None of the cookies we set collect your name, email or payment details directly.
Some cookies last only for the browser session and disappear when you close the tab. Others persist for a set period so the site remembers a preference the next time you visit.
Necessary cookies
These keep core functions working — page navigation, load balancing, basic security checks. They're set automatically and can't be turned off through a cookie banner, because the site would not function correctly without them.
Preference cookies
These remember small choices you make while browsing, such as a dismissed notice or a display setting, so you're not asked again on the next page.
The analytics question
Where analytics cookies are active, they tell us in aggregate how many people visited, which pages were read, and roughly how long a visit lasted. This runs only with your consent, and the data is not tied to your name or contact details as far as this portal is concerned.
We use this information to work out which parts of the site are actually useful and which aren't, not to build a profile of an individual reader.
Scripts we do not control
A handful of features on this site — embedded content, shared buttons, or measurement pixels from outside services — may set their own cookies once loaded. Those are governed by the third party's own policy, not this one, and we don't control what they store or for how long.
If a page here embeds a script from an external provider, that provider's cookie behaviour sits outside our direct control, and you should check its own privacy notice for specifics.
Your options
Consent for anything beyond necessary cookies is asked for through a banner on your first visit. You can withdraw it at any time by clearing cookies for this domain and reloading the page, which brings the banner back.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Declining analytics or preference cookies does not block access to any page on this site. Declining necessary cookies through your browser's global settings may stop some pages loading correctly, since those aren't the ones the consent banner controls.
Revisions
We may update this page if the cookies we use change, or if the rules around consent are updated. The version live on the site at any time is the current one; there's no separate archive to check against.
