This policy explains how Basswin uses cookies and similar technologies on wandlerunners.co.uk. Cookies help us remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and improve what we offer. You're in control of most of them, and we'll show you how to manage that below.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a site. It allows the site to recognise you on return visits and remember choices you've made – your language preference, whether you've accepted a notice, or which pages you looked at last time.
Some cookies exist only while your browser is open and disappear when you close it. Others stay on your device for a set period, sometimes months, so the site can recognise you next time without asking again.
The analytics question
We use analytics tools to understand which pages get read, how long someone stays, and where visitors arrive from. These tools – typically Google Analytics – set their own cookies to count visits and track navigation patterns across the site.
The data is aggregated and anonymised. We see that a page was visited 400 times in a week, not that you personally opened it on Tuesday afternoon. No individual is identified, and the information is never sold or shared beyond the analytics platform itself.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security, load balancing | No – these are essential for the site to work |
| Analytics | Traffic measurement, page performance, user behaviour | Yes – you can decline |
| Advertising | Retargeting, conversion tracking, personalised ads | Yes – you can decline |
| Preference | Language, layout choices, dismissed notices | No – they store your own settings |
Scripts we do not control
Some pages embed content from third parties – a video player, a social-media widget, or an advertising network. When you load one of those, the third party may set its own cookies under its own policy, not ours. We don't see what those cookies contain, and we can't delete them on your behalf.
The most common third-party scripts on this site are Google Analytics, YouTube embeds (if present), and advertising networks. Each has its own privacy policy and opt-out mechanism, linked from their respective sites.
Your options
You control cookies in two places: your browser settings and the consent banner that appears when you first visit. Declining analytics or advertising cookies through the banner stops those categories from being set, but it won't remove ones already on your device – you'll need to clear those manually.
Declining without breaking the site
You can decline all non-essential cookies and the site will still function. You'll see the same articles, the same navigation, and the same links. What you lose is convenience: the site won't remember that you've already dismissed a notice, and we won't know which pages to improve because we can't see where readers get stuck.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every modern browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies. The exact steps depend on which one you use:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party ones only, or clear everything stored so far.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Enhanced Tracking Protection blocks many third-party trackers by default.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks most third-party cookies automatically unless you've changed the default.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Options mirror Chrome, since both use the same engine.
Blocking cookies entirely will break some sites – online banking, shopping baskets, anything that requires you to stay logged in. Blocking third-party cookies is a safer middle ground and stops most tracking without interfering with the sites you actually use.
Revisions
We update this policy when our use of cookies changes – when we add a new analytics provider, drop an old one, or embed a different kind of third-party content. The current version is dated at the bottom of this page. Substantial changes are flagged on the homepage for two weeks after publication, but you're not notified individually and consent isn't re-asked unless the law requires it.
Contact
Questions about cookies, or requests to see what's stored under your profile, go to [email protected]. We'll reply within 48 hours on working days. For questions about your account with the operator, use the support channels given on the Contact page – we handle questions about this site's own practices only.
