# Cookies on this site

> Which cookies and local storage Seatcheck uses, why only strictly necessary ones are set by default, and how you can refuse the rest.

By default this site sets only what it needs to work and uses no analytics. If that changes, we will ask for your consent first, with Reject all as easy to choose as accepting. This page lists the categories, the rule behind them and what happens when you follow a link marked Ad. It is a draft pending legal review.

## The rule

Under regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and its Schedule A1, in force from 5 February 2026, storing or reading information on your device needs your consent after clear information. Strictly necessary storage is exempt.

Statistics to improve a site and appearance settings can also be exempt where you can easily refuse them and the data is not shared beyond that purpose.

Advertising and partner trackers need consent; they are not among the exemptions as we read them. A lawyer has yet to confirm this reading.

**In short:** necessary storage needs no consent; advertising trackers do.

## What this site uses

**Cookies and storage by category · source: site configuration · checked 13 November 2026**

| Category | Used by default | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | None identified; [list of cookies and local storage: to be confirmed against the built site] | No |
| Appearance settings | None identified | Refusable where used |
| Analytics | Not enabled | Yes, if ever enabled |
| Advertising and partner | None on this site's pages | Yes |

Fonts are served from this site, not from a third-party font service.

**In short:** nothing beyond the necessary is set by default.

## When you follow a link marked Ad

A link marked Ad passes through a short transit page on this site before you reach the operator. That page may run the partner's tracking script, which can store or read information on your device.

[Owner and lawyer decision pending: whether consent is collected before the transit page runs that script.] Once you are on an operator's site, its own cookie notice applies.

**In short:** a marked link can bring in a partner's tracker; consent handling is still to be settled.

## If a banner appears

A banner appears only if analytics or partner trackers are switched on. It offers three choices, with equal prominence: Accept necessary cookies only, Reject all and Manage cookies. You can change your choice at any time.

More on data is in the [privacy policy](https://seatcheck.uk/privacy-policy/); the site's use is covered by the [terms of use](https://seatcheck.uk/terms-of-use/). Questions go through [contact](https://seatcheck.uk/contact/).

**In short:** refusing is as easy as accepting, and you can change your mind.
