This page explains how Captainmarlin is covered here at captain-marlin.uk and how our own site uses cookies while you read it. It has nothing to do with the operator's own cookie practices on its platform – it covers only what happens on this domain.
A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a page. It lets a site remember something between visits or between pages – that you've seen a banner, which settings you picked, how you found the page. Nothing here reads your files or tracks you across unrelated sites without your say.
What each category of cookie does
We group the cookies this site sets into four types. Each does a different job, and only some of them run without your consent.
| Category | What it does |
|---|---|
| Necessary | Keeps the site working – page navigation, security, remembering your cookie choice itself. Runs regardless of consent. |
| Analytics | Tells us which pages are read and for how long, so we can improve the content. Runs only with consent. |
| Marketing & advertising | Used to measure the performance of links and any advertising placements on the page. Runs only with consent. |
| Preference | Remembers small choices you make on the site, such as a dismissed notice. Runs only with consent. |
Necessary cookies you can't turn off here
These keep pages loading correctly and keep the site secure. Blocking them at browser level rather than through our banner may break basic navigation, which is why they sit outside the consent choice.
Cookies that only run with your consent
Analytics, marketing and preference cookies wait for your decision on the banner. Decline them and the site still works – you simply won't be counted in our analytics or matched to any advertising measurement.
Third-party scripts on this page
Some cookies here are set by services we embed rather than by us directly – an analytics provider, or a script behind an advertising placement. Each of those third parties has its own privacy practices, separate from ours, and its own retention period for the data it collects through the script.
- Analytics scripts that measure page views and reading time
- Advertising or affiliate tracking scripts tied to outbound links
- Embedded media or widgets that may set their own cookies
Managing cookies in your browser
You can block or delete cookies at browser level independently of anything you choose on our banner. The setting lives in a slightly different place on each browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Turning off necessary cookies through these settings, rather than declining through our banner, is the case most likely to break page navigation on this site.
The consent banner and what declining changes
When you first land on captain-marlin.uk, a banner asks you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Decline and the page still renders in full – the only difference is that we can't attribute your visit in analytics or measure any advertising link you click.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page as the cookies we use change – a new analytics tool, a different advertising script. The version here is always the current one; we don't keep an archive of previous wording.
