This page explains how Firescatters information on fire-scatters.uk uses cookies while you browse. We are an independent portal covering the Firescatters brand, not the operator itself, and this notice covers only the cookies set by our own site.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a page. It lets a site recognise your browser on a return visit, remember a preference, or measure how a page is used. Cookies here don't identify you by name and they can't reach into other files on your device.
We set a small number of cookies to keep the site working properly and to understand, in general terms, which pages get read.
What each category does
- Necessary – lets core features such as page navigation and cookie-preference storage function; these can't be switched off through our banner.
- Analytics (consent-based) – tells us, in aggregate, which pages are visited and for how long, so we know which content is actually useful.
- Marketing & advertising (consent-based) – used sparingly, to measure whether a page referral performed, never to build a profile for resale.
- Preference – remembers small settings, such as a cookie choice you've already made, so you aren't asked again on every visit.
What is stored and for how long
Necessary and preference cookies are typically session-length or last a short period after your visit. Analytics cookies tend to persist longer – commonly up to a couple of years – so that repeat visits can be distinguished from new ones, though the exact duration depends on the tool involved. We don't store payment details, account credentials or anything about your activity on the Firescatters platform itself, since we have no access to that.
Embedded third parties
Some elements on this page – an analytics script, occasionally an embedded video or a shared social link – are served from outside our own domain and can set their own cookies under their own policies. We choose these providers carefully, but we don't control the cookies they set once loaded, and their retention periods sit outside this notice. Where a script isn't essential to the page working, it only loads after you've given consent.
Declining without breaking the site
You can decline non-essential cookies from the banner shown on your first visit, and change that choice at any time by clearing your cookie settings and revisiting. Declining analytics or marketing cookies does not stop you reading anything on fire-scatters.uk – navigation, our written content and the tables on our pages all work identically either way. You can also manage or block cookies directly in your browser:
- Chrome – Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Firefox – Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari – Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge – Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking all cookies through your browser, rather than just declining through our banner, may occasionally affect how a page remembers your preferences on return visits.
Updates to this policy
We may revise this cookie policy if the tools we use change or if the law around consent changes. Any update will appear on this page, so it's worth a glance back from time to time rather than relying on a notification.
Questions about this policy, or about anything else on the portal, can go to [email protected].
