Cookie Policy
Start playingThis policy explains how Mrpunter uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on this site. We keep it straightforward: what cookies do here, which ones we set, how third parties fit in, and what control you have over them.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a site. It helps us recognise your device on your next visit, remember choices you made, and understand how the site is used. Cookies do not access other files on your device, and they cannot run programs or carry viruses.
We use cookies for three main reasons: to keep the site working properly, to understand how visitors move through it, and to show relevant content. The first kind is necessary for the site to function; the others require your consent.
The analytics question
We use analytics cookies to see which pages are visited most, how long readers stay, and where they leave. This tells us what is useful and what needs improving. These cookies are placed only with your consent, and they collect anonymised data — we do not track individual users by name or email address.
Google Analytics processes usage statistics on our behalf. The data is aggregated and used solely to improve the site's layout and content. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie banner or your browser settings.
Scripts we do not control
Third-party cookies come from services embedded in our pages — analytics providers, advertising networks, and content-delivery platforms. These organisations set their own cookies when you visit a page carrying their script, and they are governed by their own privacy policies rather than ours.
We work with the following categories of third party:
- Analytics providers — measure site traffic and user behaviour
- Advertising networks — serve targeted ads based on your browsing history
- Content-delivery networks — speed up page loading by caching assets closer to you
If you decline marketing cookies through our banner, third-party advertising cookies will not be set. Analytics and functional third-party cookies may still be placed where they are necessary for the site to work.
Your options
You can control cookies at two levels: through the consent banner that appears when you first visit, and through your browser's own settings.
The consent banner lets you accept all cookies, reject optional ones, or choose by category. Your choice is saved for 12 months. If you change your mind, delete the site's cookies in your browser and the banner will reappear on your next visit.
Browser settings give you finer control. Here is how to manage cookies in the main browsers:
- Chrome — Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
Blocking all cookies will prevent some parts of the site from working — you may not be able to submit a contact form, and any preferences you set will not be saved between visits. Blocking only marketing and analytics cookies leaves the site fully functional.
What breaks if you decline
Necessary cookies keep the site usable. Declining them is not an option — they are set automatically and cover session management, security tokens, and load balancing. Without them, forms do not submit and pages may not load correctly.
Declining analytics cookies means we lose visibility into how the site is used, but it does not affect your experience. Declining marketing cookies stops personalised ads from appearing, though you will still see generic advertising where our layout includes it.
Revisions
We update this policy when our use of cookies changes — when we add a new analytics tool, switch providers, or remove a category. The date at the bottom of this page shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
If a change affects cookies that require consent, we will ask for it again through the banner. Changes to necessary cookies take effect immediately, since they do not require consent under UK data-protection law.
Contact
Questions about how we use cookies, or requests to withdraw consent, can be sent to [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
