Everything this site stores in your browser.
Set out under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. Nothing beyond the strictly necessary is set unless you say yes, and accepting is no easier than refusing.
Strictly necessary — always set
These do not require your consent because the site cannot work without them.
| Name | Kind | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| rattlemap.safety.v1 | Session storage | Remembers your answer to the safety question, so you are not asked again on every page of the same visit. | Until you close the tab |
| rattlemap.cookies.v1 | Local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies, so we do not keep asking. | 12 months |
| rattlemap.entry.v1 | Local storage | Keeps your description and your observations on your own device, so the observation card works with no signal and nothing is lost if you close the tab. | Until you clear it or your browser does |
| Session cookie | Cookie | Keeps you logged in, once accounts are switched on. | Session, or 30 days if you choose to stay signed in |
Everything in the first three rows stays on your device. It is not sent to us and we cannot read it.
Analytics — only if you accept
If you press Accept, we set a privacy-respecting analytics cookie that tells us which pages are being read and where people give up. It does not follow you to other sites, does not build a profile, and is not used for advertising. If you press Reject, nothing is set and the site behaves identically.
| Name | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| _rm_analytics | Distinguishes one visit from another so page counts are not double-counted. | 14 months |
What we never set
- Advertising or retargeting cookies. There is no advertising technology on this site at all.
- Social media tracking pixels.
- Cross-site identifiers or fingerprinting of any kind.
Changing your mind
Clear this site’s data in your browser settings and the banner will ask you again on your next visit, with both choices presented exactly as they were the first time. You can also block or delete cookies entirely in your browser; the site will still work.
How the underlying data is handled is on the privacy page.
