Walks & Pubs Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 August 2026
Please check back regularly for any changes.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is downloaded onto your computer when you visit a website. Cookies are used by many websites and can do a number of things, for example, remember your preferences, record what you have put in your shopping basket, and count the number of people looking at a website.
When visiting this website (walksandpubs.uk) for the first time, you will receive a notification in a cookie consent banner at the top of the page, asking to set your cookie preferences.
You get the choice to either only allow essential cookies by choosing ‘No, thanks’ or allow all cookies by choosing ‘Yes, please’.
If only essential cookies (‘No, thanks’) are chosen, a cookie called ‘cookieconsent_status’ will be set, remembering this choice. The contact form uses a temporary session cookie (PHPSESSID) for spam prevention. This cookie stores a short-term session identifier which allows us to limit repeated submissions within a short period of time. When using the contact form, Google reCAPTCHA may set additional cookies to protect our email inbox from fraud and abuse and help ensure that enquiries are submitted by real people rather than automated systems.
Choosing all cookies (‘Yes, please’) enables additional third-party features such as embedded videos, route maps, YouTube subscribe buttons and analytics services. These are mainly cookies from Google (YouTube, Google Maps, Google Analytics) and Meta (Meta Pixel). These third-party services may also set their own cookies or access existing cookies when their embedded content or services are loaded. The names, purposes and retention periods of these cookies are determined by the respective providers and may change over time. Analytics cookies give us the opportunity to improve your future experiences using this website and the associated social media channels. We use these services to better understand which content visitors find most useful and engaging. We also use this information for statistical analysis and technical optimisation of the website. ‘Yes, please’ will set a cookie remembering this choice. This preference is stored in the ‘cookieconsent_status’ cookie.
Newsletter subscriptions are managed through follow.it. When you choose to subscribe, you will be redirected to the follow.it website. Your email address will be processed by follow.it on behalf of Walks & Pubs for the purpose of sending newsletter updates and managing your subscription. follow.it’s terms of use and privacy policy apply when using their services.
Most cookies mentioned above expire no later than 25 months after your most recent visit, although some third-party cookies may vary, as cookie durations are determined by the respective providers.
Please note that web browsers offer you the possibility to manually delete cookies for either all websites you visited or only for specific ones. For walksandpubs.uk, this gives you the opportunity to see the cookie consent banner again and make a different choice if you should wish to do so. Furthermore, the use of cookies can be disabled altogether in your web browser’s settings. For more on this topic, please visit the website of the Information Commissioner’s Office.
