This Cookie Policy explains how The Cliff uses cookies and similar technologies on the-cliff.org (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your choices and understand how it is used.
2. Cookies we use
Essential cookies
These are necessary for the Site to work and to remember your cookie choices. They cannot be switched off in our systems. For example, we store your consent preference so the cookie notice does not reappear on every visit.
Analytics cookies (optional)
With your consent, we may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which viewpoints and pages are most useful, so we can improve the guide. These are only set if you accept them.
Third-party embeds
Pages that embed interactive maps may cause the map provider to set its own cookies. These are controlled by the provider under its own policies.
