Privacy and your information
Read how the archive handles correction notes, session cookies, locally saved activity plans and camping checklists, and ordinary web hosting logs.
Reading and searching
You can read the archive and use the site search without an account. The site serves its artwork, fonts and core interface scripts locally. It includes no advertising trackers. Optional Google Analytics is described below. Searches use an address containing your search words, so avoid entering personal information. The hosting service may record requested addresses, IP addresses, times and response codes in its access and security logs.
Activity plans and checklists
The weekly planner and packing tool use your browser's storage to remember your choices on that device. Other people using the same browser profile may be able to see them. You can remove saved choices by clearing this site's browser data. Information typed into those tools stays on the device.
Contacting the archive
The contact page uses essential cookies to protect the form and display confirmation. Notes go into a private file on the site server for editorial review. We use the text to evaluate corrections and sources. The form does not ask for a name or email address. Please keep personal or sensitive details out of your message. Submissions are not published automatically.
For a question about a note you submitted, use the contact form and identify the page and approximate date. Links to organisers and historical publications lead to websites with their own privacy arrangements.
Optional Google Analytics
With your permission, this website uses Google Analytics 4 to measure public page visits and improve the site. Google receives page information and browser/network data when analytics is enabled. Google scripts are not requested before you choose Allow analytics. Choose Reject analytics to keep them disabled, or use Analytics preferences to change or withdraw your choice. The choice is stored in this browser under serallo.analytics-consent.v1 and is valid for 180 days; clearing site data removes it. Google Analytics may set _ga and ga* cookies with a 180-day expiry that can be refreshed on use. Advertising features, Google signals and advertising personalisation are disabled. Page and referring addresses are sent without query strings or fragments. We do not send form fields or tool entries to Google Analytics. The loader is disabled on recognised private routes and pages marked noindex in their HTML metadata. Google may process information outside the UK. Withdrawing consent disables further analytics for this site and removes the Analytics cookies this code can access; it does not erase information already sent to Google.
