Privacy

Analytics are enabled on this site, and nothing is sent until you choose Allow on the consent banner. If you have not answered it, or you declined, nothing is sent at all.

Nothing is recorded before you decide. An undecided state behaves exactly like a refusal: no events, not reduced events. If you decline, or simply never answer, nothing is sent.

If you accept, the analytics service sets its own cookies so that it can tell one visit from another. They hold a random identifier rather than anything about you, and they are not used for advertising.

• Which kind of page was viewed, and which page it was.
• Which links between pages were followed, and from where.
• Whether an evidence panel or a safety notice was shown or opened.
• For searches: how many results came back, and how long the query was. Never the query.
• Which unit conversion was used. Never the value.
• Whether a page was shared, copied or printed.

No event FishingHQ records is even capable of holding free text. That is a structural property rather than a promise: what you type into the search box cannot reach analytics at all, because there is nowhere for it to go — and that is checked automatically across everything FishingHQ measures.

No name, no email address, no account, no advertising identifier, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting, and no search terms. FishingHQ has no login and no user accounts.

Search runs entirely in your browser. The index is part of the page, so a query has nowhere to be sent even in principle.

If you allow analytics, the anonymous events listed above are sent to Google Analytics, which processes them on our behalf as a third party. That is the only analytics service FishingHQ uses, there is no advertising or cross-site tracking alongside it, and advertising features and Google Signals are switched off. Nothing is sent to it before you consent.

You can change your mind at any time, using the control at the top of this page or the one on the cookies page. Turning analytics off stops any further collection immediately. Clearing this site’s storage in your browser resets the decision and shows the banner again.

Nothing collected here names you: there is no account, no email address and no search term, so FishingHQ cannot connect what it measures to a person. If you would rather none of it happened, turning analytics off stops collection immediately and clearing this site’s data in your browser removes anything already stored on your device. For anything else, write to privacy@hekno.co.uk.
