Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. This website primarily uses localStorage, a browser storage mechanism that works similarly to cookies but stores data locally on your device without sending it to any server.
2. What We Store
Strictly Necessary (No Consent Required)
These storage items are essential for the Website to function properly. They are stored in your browser's localStorage and are never sent to any server.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
unitPreference | Remembers your preferred measurement system (metric or imperial) so distances and elevations display correctly across pages | Persistent until cleared |
cookieConsent | Stores your cookie consent choice so the banner does not reappear on every page | Persistent until cleared |
Analytics (Consent Required)
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the Website. Analytics cookies or scripts are only activated after you give explicit consent by clicking "Accept" on our cookie banner.
If activated, analytics may collect anonymized data such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and referring websites. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.
If you decline analytics in our cookie banner, no analytics scripts are loaded and no data is collected.
3. What We Do Not Use
- No third-party tracking cookies: we do not use advertising networks, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking scripts
- No Google Fonts or external CDN requests: all fonts are self-hosted on our server, so your browser never contacts Google or any other third-party service when loading our pages
- No fingerprinting: we do not use browser fingerprinting techniques
4. Managing Your Preferences
You can manage your storage preferences at any time:
- Cookie banner: when you first visit the site, or by clearing your localStorage to trigger the banner again
- Browser settings: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies and localStorage data through their privacy settings
- Developer tools: open your browser's developer tools (F12), navigate to Application > Local Storage, and delete individual items or all data for this site
Clearing the unitPreference item will reset the measurement display to metric (the default). Clearing cookieConsent will cause the cookie banner to appear again on your next visit.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new features or change our use of browser storage. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
