Cookies
This site sets no cookies. No advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, no third-party cookies — none. Visit counting is done without storing anything on your device. The only things the site keeps in your browser are the two display settings below, which stay on your device and are never sent to us.
What the site keeps in your browser
| Name | Type | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| theme | localStorage | Remembers your light or dark mode choice. | Until you clear your browser data. |
| palette | localStorage | Remembers your chosen map colour palette. | Until you clear your browser data. |
Both are written only when you use the display controls, never leave your device, and carry nothing about you — deleting them simply resets the site’s appearance.
If this ever changes
If this ever changes — for example, if we introduce a first-party analytics identifier under the statistical-purposes exception in UK law, or any feature that genuinely needs consent — this page will be updated before it happens, and anything requiring consent will ask for it first.
How we handle the little data we do see is on the privacy page.
