Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 17, 2026
Short version: we don't run advertising cookies, and we don't track you across other websites. Here is genuinely everything.
Stored on your device
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| crookedtide.progress.v1 | localStorage | Remembers which locations you've marked found on the map | Until you clear it |
| crookedtide.drafts.v1 | localStorage | Only used in the site's admin mode. Never set for visitors. | Until cleared |
| ghost-members-ssr | Cookie | Keeps you signed in if you're a member | Session |
All three are strictly necessary for features you've actively asked for, which is why there's no consent banner interrupting you.
Analytics
We don't currently run any analytics or tracking scripts on crookedtide.com, map.crookedtide.com, or db.crookedtide.com. If that changes, this page will be updated first, and if it would require consent under UK/EU law, you'll see a consent banner with a reject button that actually works.
What we don't use
- Google Analytics
- Advertising or retargeting pixels — Meta, TikTok, Google
- Cross-site trackers
- Fingerprinting
- Data brokers
Third parties that see your IP
Loading any page sends your IP to whoever serves it. For us that's Ghost Pro, Cloudflare, and cdnjs for the mapping library. If you subscribe, Stripe handles the payment.
Clearing your data
Your browser's settings will clear all of it. On the map, that also erases your tracker progress — export it first if you want to keep it.
