The short version.
We don’t use any third-party cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site trackers. No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, nothing that follows you around the web. Our analytics is first-party and cookieless— built by us, run on our own servers. Because nothing here needs your consent under UK law, there’s no cookie banner to click through.
Our analytics — first-party, no cookies.
We want to know the basics — which pages people read, how far down they scroll, which buttons get pressed, where visitors come from — so we built our own analytics instead of renting someone else’s. It sets no cookies and stores nothing that persistently identifies you:
- A per-tab session id lives in your browser’s
sessionStorageand is deleted the moment you close the tab. It just stops one visit being counted as several. Next to it sit the page your visit started on and any campaign tags in the link you clicked, deleted with it. - A “been here before” flag — a plain yes/no in
localStorage, so we can tell new visits from returning ones. It holds no identifier. - A daily-rotating visitor countuses a hash that resets every day, so there’s no permanent identifier and no way to track you across days or sites.
- No raw IP addresses are stored, and none of this is shared with or sold to anyone.
Under UK PECR this doesn’t require consent — but we’re spelling it out so you know exactly what’s running.
Essential cookies.
The only actual cookies on this site are first-party essential ones, and for a normal visit reading the site there are effectively none. If you’re a team member logging into the private admin area, a first-party session cookie keeps you signed in. That’s it — it doesn’t track you and isn’t shared with anyone.
No advertising, no third parties.
We don’t run ad-network pixels, retargeting tags, or social trackers. If we ever add a tool that sets cookies or shares data with a third party, we’ll update this page and put a proper consent banner back in place first. Right now, there’s nothing to opt out of.
How to manage cookies.
There’s little to manage here, but you’re always in control:
- Browser controls — every modern browser lets you block, delete, or restrict cookies and site storage. See aboutcookies.org for per-browser instructions.
- Opt out of our analytics entirely — clearing your site storage resets the session id and daily hash; blocking storage stops it recording anything.
- Email us at tyree@sundrop.uk if you want a hand.
Changes.
If we ever add tools that use cookies or third-party tracking, we’ll update this page and re-prompt for consent where the law requires it.
