Cookies
The consent choice on this site, and the fact that analytics stay off unless you accept and a tag exists.
This site asks for a choice before any optional analytics. Accept and Reject are the same kind of button. Neither is a quiet link.
The choice itself
Your choice is stored in local storage on this device, under the key hcw_consent, as "accepted" or "rejected". That record is there so we do not ask on every page. Clear the site data for homeclimbingwallguide.co.uk and the banner returns.
Analytics and advertising cookies
Consent Mode defaults are denied: advertising storage and analytics storage start off. At launch there is no analytics tag and no advertising tag on our pages, so Accept does not contact Google or anyone else. It only records the choice.
If an analytics tag is added later, it will load only after Accept, and the default will stay denied until that choice. Reject will keep it off.
Amazon
If you follow a link to Amazon, you are on Amazon's site. Their cookies are theirs. Our advertising disclosure explains the affiliate tag.
The form
The contact form does not set a tracking cookie. A hidden timestamp is sent with the form so an instant automated post can be ignored. It is not stored on your device as a cookie.
