We adhere strictly to the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the EU ePrivacy Directive.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed onto your device when you load website pages. They allow websites to remember your browser preferences, maintain persistent consent records, and ensure interactive elements (like destination filters and carousel scrolling) function seamlessly without layout shifts.

2. Comprehensive Breakdown of Cookies Used

Cookie / Key Name	Category	Duration	Purpose & Data Stored
scoutlane_cookie_consent	Strictly Necessary	12 Months	Stores your cookie consent choice ('accepted' or 'rejected_non_essential') in localStorage so the banner does not re-appear on reload.
__cf_bm / _sec_token	Strictly Necessary	Session / 24h	Used by our cloud security layer to distinguish legitimate human readers from malicious automated botnets.
_scout_geo_region	Functional	30 Days	Remembers your last selected coastline filter (e.g. Mediterranean vs Atlantic) during navigation.
_slp_perf_metric	Analytics (Aggregated)	90 Days	Measures page load speeds and interactive script latency without harvesting individual user IPs.

3. Strictly Necessary vs. Optional Cookies

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for fundamental website operations, cybersecurity defenses, and recording your consent preferences. These do not require advance consent under PECR/GDPR and cannot be toggled off in our banner.
• Functional & Analytics Cookies: Enable enhanced features such as preserving search filter states and assessing UI performance. These are deployed ONLY after you grant explicit consent via our banner.
