What these technologies do
Cookies are small values that a website can ask your browser to retain and return with later requests. LocalStorage is a separate browser mechanism for keeping data on a device. Both can be used for useful preferences or for tracking, depending on how they are implemented.
Ordinary browser caching is different: your browser may retain files such as stylesheets and images to avoid downloading them repeatedly. This does not, by itself, create an advertising profile.
Storage used by the editorial code
| Feature | Storage or access | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation and scroll reveals | Temporary page state; no cookies or localStorage | While the page is open |
| Contact preview | Text held in the page’s memory | Until the page is cleared, closed or reloaded; browser restoration may vary |
| Copy Message | Clipboard write, only after you choose it | Controlled by your device and clipboard settings |
| Download Message | A plain-text file, only after you choose it | Until you delete the downloaded file |
The editorial scripts do not create cookies or use localStorage. They do not load analytics, advertising tags, social embeds or third-party booking widgets. The site does not require non-essential tracking to read its guides.
Your browser and device controls
You can manage cookies, cached files, autofill and clipboard permissions through your browser or device settings. These controls differ by browser. Deleting downloaded messages and clearing clipboard history are separate actions from clearing website data.
Blocking JavaScript does not prevent reading the guides. It disables the message preparation controls and mobile dropdown behaviour; the footer still provides links to every guide and the contact email remains available. Browser autofill or session restoration may retain information independently of the website’s code.
External services and changes
Opening an external hotel, garden or institutional website may introduce that provider’s cookies and storage. Its policies and controls apply there. Sending an email likewise involves your email provider and the recipient’s email infrastructure.
If optional analytics or other non-essential storage is introduced, this policy must be updated and any legally required consent obtained before that processing begins. For questions about data protection or website storage, contact [email protected]. Further information about the controller and your rights appears in Your Data.
