This cookies policy explains how CrownPerkHarbour uses cookies, local storage, and related technologies when you visit the website. Our goal is to keep the description practical. Some tools are there simply to make the site function in a sensible way. Others help us understand whether readers are actually finding the content usable.

1. What we mean by cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Local storage and similar browser tools work in a related way, even if they are not technically the same thing. Throughout this page, we use the term broadly so visitors can understand how preferences and measurement tools may be stored or retrieved in the browser.

2. Essential storage we rely on

CrownPerkHarbour uses browser storage to remember whether you have confirmed that you are 18 or over and whether you have responded to the cookie banner. Without these records, the site would repeatedly ask the same questions on every page. Those settings support access control, user experience, and basic compliance behaviour rather than advertising personalisation.

3. Measurement and performance tools

We may use limited analytics or performance tools to understand page visits, traffic sources, reading patterns, browser types, and technical errors. We look at this information in aggregate wherever possible. The point is not to build a behavioural dossier on a reader. The point is to see whether pages load properly, whether navigation works, and whether content is being reached in the way we intended.

4. Affiliate tracking

When you click certain outbound links, a partner may set or read tracking information to determine whether a referral came from CrownPerkHarbour. That process helps measure whether a commercial relationship should generate commission. Once you leave our website, the external operator or affiliate platform controls its own tracking tools and privacy practices. Their notices should be reviewed separately.

5. Your choices

You can manage many cookies through your browser settings, including blocking, deleting, or limiting storage. You can also clear local storage entries from your browser history or site settings panel. If you remove our stored preferences, the site may show the age gate and cookie banner again because it no longer remembers your earlier choice.

6. Why blocking everything can change the site

Disabling all storage does not just affect analytics. It may also interrupt basic convenience features, including whether the age verification prompt reappears on each visit. The site should still remain readable, but some functions may feel repetitive or less polished if essential browser storage is blocked entirely.

7. Retention and review

Cookie duration varies according to purpose and browser behaviour. Some records remain only for the browsing session. Others last longer until they expire or you clear them manually. We review the tools we use from time to time so that older or unnecessary storage is not left in place without purpose.

8. Contact and policy changes

If you have a question about cookies or related technologies on this site, contact info@crownperkharbour.co.uk. We may update this policy when the site changes, when a provider changes, or when legal expectations shift. The newest version posted here is the one that applies.
