COOKIE POLICY

Hej Messmate,

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to keep our ship running smoothly and understand how people use our site. Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny text files that websites store on your device. They help us remember things like your preferences and make your experience better. Think of them as the ship’s logbook entries that help us sail more efficiently.

What Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: These keep the website functioning properly. They help with basic things like page loading, security, and remembering if you’ve accepted this cookie notice. We can’t turn these off without breaking the site.

Analytics Cookies: We use these to understand how visitors use our site – which pages are popular, how long people stay, where they came from. This helps us improve the experience. We use tools like Google Analytics for this.

Social Media Cookies: If we embed content from social platforms (YouTube videos, social media posts), those platforms may set their own cookies. We don’t control these – they’re handled by the social media companies according to their own policies.

Preference Cookies: These remember choices you make (like text size or language preferences) so you don’t have to set them again each visit.

What We Don’t Do

  • We don’t sell your cookie data to anyone
  • We don’t use cookies to identify you personally unless you’ve explicitly provided information (like signing up for our newsletter)
  • We don’t track you across other websites beyond standard analytics

Managing Your Cookies

Browser Settings: You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can block all cookies, delete existing ones, or be notified when new ones are set. Keep in mind that blocking cookies might affect how well our site works for you.

Opt-Out Options: For analytics cookies, you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using their browser add-on or adjusting settings in your browser.

Third-Party Cookies: For cookies from embedded social media content, check those companies’ privacy policies for your options.

Legal Stuff

We process cookie data based on:

  • Legitimate interests (improving our website and understanding our audience)
  • Your consent (when required by law)
  • Technical necessity (making the website actually work)

You’re not required to accept cookies to read our content, but some features might not work as well without them.

Questions?

Confused about cookies? Want to know more about what data we collect? Contact us through our main contact page. We’re happy to explain what’s happening with your data in plain English.

We review this policy regularly and update it when our cookie usage changes.

Clear sailing and transparent tracking,

//Linnea Lucifer 🏴‍☠️
