Cookies and local storage
FishingHQ sets no cookies of its own. It remembers one small thing in your browser because you chose it, and if you allow analytics, the analytics service sets its own cookies to count visits.
What FishingHQ itself sets
FishingHQ sets no cookies of its own — not necessary ones, not analytics ones, and certainly not advertising ones. There is no login and no account, so there is nothing about you for this site to remember between visits.
Cookies set if you allow analytics
If you choose Allow, the analytics service sets its own cookies in your browser. They are used to tell one visit from another and to work out whether a return visit is the same browser. They do not identify you, they are not used for advertising, and no advertising or cross-site features are switched on.
Nothing is set before you choose. If you decline, or never answer, no analytics cookies are set at all — and if you turn analytics off later, collection stops immediately.
The one thing that is stored
- Your analytics choice, in local storage, so the banner does not ask you again on every page. It holds one word: granted or denied.
That is not a cookie, so it is never sent with requests. You can change your choice here at any time, and clearing this site’s data in your browser removes it and resets the banner.
Third parties
The only third party FishingHQ will contact is its analytics service, and only after you have allowed analytics. There are no advertising scripts, no social embeds, no third-party fonts and no cross-site tracking.
