Cookie Policy

Last updated:

This Cookie Policy explains how Faunaearther uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and UK GDPR when storing or accessing information on your device.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage to remember your cookie choices. Cookies may be "session" (deleted when you close the browser) or "persistent" (remain until they expire or you delete them).

2. Legal Basis for Non-Essential Cookies

Under PECR, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. Analytics and marketing cookies require your prior consent before they are placed or read, except where an exemption applies. We ask for your consent through the cookie banner when you first visit the site.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and local storage for the following purposes:

  • Strictly necessary: Required for core functionality, including remembering your cookie consent choice (stored as cookie_consent in localStorage). These cannot be switched off without affecting how consent is recorded.
  • Analytics (optional): Help us understand how visitors navigate and use our website. Activated only if you consent.
  • Marketing (optional): Used to measure advertising campaigns and related performance. Activated only if you consent.

4. Cookie Details

The table below describes cookies and similar storage we use or may use when you consent:

Name / type Purpose Duration Category
cookie_consent (localStorage) Stores your cookie consent choices Until you clear browser data or change your choice Strictly necessary
Third-party analytics cookies Aggregated usage statistics if analytics is enabled Varies by provider (typically up to 26 months) Analytics (consent required)
Third-party marketing cookies Advertising measurement if marketing is enabled Varies by provider Marketing (consent required)

We do not currently load third-party analytics or advertising scripts unless you have given the relevant consent. If we add new tools, we will update this table and request consent where required.

5. Managing Cookies

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner allows you to accept all non-essential cookies, reject them, or adjust categories before giving consent. Your choice is stored locally so the banner does not reappear until you clear site data.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent some features from working. Guidance is available from your browser provider (for example Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge help pages).

For more information about how we process personal data linked to cookies, see our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Third parties may set cookies when you consent to analytics or marketing categories. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any provider we use. Third parties act as separate controllers or processors depending on their role.
