Privacy Policy

Warwick Climbing Club runs this website. This page explains what it collects when you visit. Last updated November 2026.

What this website collects

This website has no forms, no visitor accounts and no advertising tracking. Like most websites, our web host keeps short-term server logs of requests, including IP addresses, to keep the site secure and working.

Visitor statistics

To see how many people visit and which pages they read, we count visits with Koko Analytics, which runs on this website itself. It does not use cookies and sends nothing to any other company. To tell new visitors from returning ones on the same day, it briefly combines your IP address and browser details with a value that changes every day, scrambles them, and does not store your IP address. We keep only totals: visits, page views, pages read and the websites that linked here. We have a legitimate interest in knowing how the site is used. Blocking JavaScript stops it counting your visit.

Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are popular and how people find us. It sets two cookies, _ga and _ga_8HSK06HLHB, which last up to 13 months. Google processes this data for us and may handle it outside the UK. We have turned off Google signals and advertising features, so it is not used to show you adverts.

To opt out, press “Opt out of Google Analytics” at the bottom of any page. Google Analytics then stops loading in that browser and its cookies are removed; press it again to turn it back on. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat that as an opt-out automatically. Committee members who log in to edit the site get login cookies. Members who enter the password for the club library page get one cookie, wp-postpass, that keeps the page open for 10 days.

The maps in our Find Us section are images stored on this website, so viewing them sends nothing to a map provider. They are made from OpenStreetMap data. If you follow a link to Google Maps, Apple Maps or OpenStreetMap, that service’s own privacy policy applies.

Membership, events and contact

Joining, signing up for events, signing in and our contact form all take place on our myClubhouse site at warwickclimbing.myclubhouse.co.uk, not on this website. Details you give there are held in our myClubhouse system.
