This page explains how Charlotte Animal Behaviour uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site. Cookies are small text files stored by your browser; they let the site remember your preferences and understand how people use it. We keep what we collect to the necessary minimum, and you control whether your browser accepts them.
How this site remembers you
Charlotte Animal Behaviour sets a small number of cookies to make the site work properly and to remember choices you make during your visit. These include:
- Essential cookies that keep your session active as you move between pages and remember whether you have accepted this cookie notice.
- Preference cookies that store settings such as text size or navigation state, so you do not need to reset them each time you return.
None of these cookies identifies you personally. They expire after your session ends or after a set period of inactivity, depending on their purpose.
The analytics question
We use analytics software to understand which pages are visited most often and how people navigate the site. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous—it shows patterns, not individuals. This helps us decide which topics to expand and where the site could be clearer.
Analytics cookies are set only with your consent. If you decline them, the site continues to work without any loss of content or function. Your choice is recorded so you are not asked again on future visits.
Scripts we do not control
Some embedded content—videos, maps or social-media widgets—comes from third-party platforms. When you load a page carrying this content, the platform may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy. Charlotte Animal Behaviour does not control these scripts or receive data from them.
Where possible, we use privacy-enhanced embed modes that delay cookie-setting until you interact with the content. You can block third-party cookies entirely in your browser settings; the site itself will remain fully navigable.
Your options
You can decline, delete or block cookies at any time through your browser. The method varies, but every modern browser offers cookie controls in its privacy or settings menu. Blocking all cookies may affect some site functions—forms may not remember what you typed, and you may see the cookie notice on every visit—but no content will be hidden.
If you clear your cookies, your stored preferences are lost and the site treats your next visit as a first visit. Your choice about analytics cookies is also reset, so the banner will appear again.
When this text changes
This policy was last revised in January 2026. We update it whenever we change how cookies are used on the site. Revisions are published on this page without individual notification; if the change is significant, we note it at the top of the policy for the first month.
Continued use of Charlotte Animal Behaviour after a revision means you accept the updated terms. If you have questions about cookies or how your data is handled, write to [email protected] and we will reply within 48 hours.
