About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how DailyFoxglove uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more generally. By continuing to use our website, or by accepting cookies through our banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described here, except for those you choose to decline.
02
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them whenever you return or move between pages. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, perform comparable functions, and references to cookies in this policy include them.
03
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the website working properly, to remember the preferences you set, and to understand how our walk descriptions are read so we can improve them. Cookies help us deliver a reliable and relevant experience, but we aim to use only those that serve a clear purpose, and we give you control over the non-essential categories.
04
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, submitting a booking form, or navigating secure pages. Without these cookies, parts of the website would not work, so they do not require your consent.
05
Preference cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your cookie settings or the last region you viewed, to give you a more personal experience. These cookies are optional. If you decline them, the website will still work, but it may not remember some of the choices you made on an earlier visit.
06
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which walks are viewed most often and where people leave. The information is aggregated and used to improve the content and structure of the site. These cookies are only set with your consent, and declining them has no effect on your ability to browse or book.
07
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use, such as a payment processor during checkout or a mapping tool that shows a route. These providers set their own cookies and are responsible for them under their own policies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie notices of any third-party service you interact with through our site.
08
How long cookies last
A session cookie disappears as soon as you close the browser; a persistent one stays until its expiry date or until you clear it yourself. Your consent record behaves like the persistent kind: it stays in local storage until you clear your browser data or change your mind in cookie settings. Any optional cookie we add later will carry the shortest lifespan that still does its job.
09
Managing your choices
You can change your cookie choices at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page, which reopens our settings panel. You can also control cookies through your browser, which lets you block or delete cookies already stored. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the website works for you.

What this website stores today
At the time of writing, DailyFoxglove does not run any analytics, advertising or social-media tracking scripts. The only thing this website saves in your browser is a small record of the choice you made in the cookie banner, kept in local storage under a key that begins with “wh_consent_”. It holds the date of your decision and whether you allowed each optional category, and nothing that could tell us who you are.
If we later add a tool that needs an optional cookie — for example, a counter that shows us which seasonal walks people read about before the blossom or maple weeks — it will stay switched off until you allow it, and this policy will be updated before it goes live.

Fonts loaded from Google
The headings and body text on this site use typefaces delivered by Google Fonts. When a page loads, your browser requests those font files from Google’s servers, which means Google receives your IP address and basic browser details as part of that request. Google states that it does not use this information to build advertising profiles. No cookie is set by this request, but we mention it here so you have the full picture of what happens when you open one of our pages.
12
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Significant changes may also be highlighted through our cookie banner so you can review and update your choices.
