Book your walkUpdate, October 25, 2026: analytics, session recordings, advertising audiences and email newsletter
This update adds to the wording above about cookies and consent. Where it differs, this update applies.
What we use
- Google Analytics and Google tag (installed through Google Site Kit) to count visits and see which pages people read.
- Google signals and advertising audiences (remarketing). These let us group people who visited this site and our related site, chasingredmovie.com, so that we can later show our own ads on Google services. Google may combine this visit data with information from signed-in Google accounts.
- Microsoft Clarity, which records how visitors use our pages (for example clicks, scrolling and the pages viewed) so we can improve the site.
Consent
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, these analytics, recording and advertising cookies stay off until you click Accept on the notice at the bottom of the page. You can click Decline instead, and the site works the same. Your choice is stored in your browser, and you can reset it by clearing this site's data in your browser settings. For these regions, this replaces the earlier statement that continuing to use the site means you agree to cookies.
Elsewhere these tools run by default, and you can opt out using the links below.
Email newsletter
If you subscribe through the newsletter form on our blog, we collect your email address and, if you give it, your first name. We store them with Hostinger Reach, the email marketing service run by our web host, Hostinger, and use them only to send you the Encierro newsletter and related updates. The form asks you to tick a consent box, and every email has an unsubscribe link. You can also write to us to be removed. If you tick the marketing box at checkout in our shop, we add you to the same list. We do not sell your email address.
