Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide information to the website operator. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and UK GDPR, we are required to tell you about the cookies we use and, where necessary, obtain your consent before placing them.
www.cask-it.co.uk is designed with privacy in mind. We use only the minimum number of cookies necessary to operate the website. The table below sets out every cookie category used on this Site.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required? | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for the website to function. Includes session management cookies that keep you logged in or maintain your preferences during a visit. | No — exempt under PECR | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
| Analytics | We use a cookieless, privacy-first analytics tool to understand how visitors use the Site (pages viewed, referrer, approximate country). This tool does not place cookies on your device and does not process personal data in an identifiable form. | No — no cookies placed; no personal data processed | N/A — no cookie set |
Our commitment to your privacy
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, social media cookies, or any third-party profiling cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tools that require consent under PECR. Because we only use strictly necessary cookies and a cookieless analytics tool, no cookie consent banner is required on this Site under current ICO guidance.
Some pages on the Site contain links to third-party websites (for example, distillery booking pages and affiliate partners). If you follow a link to a third-party website, that site may set its own cookies. We have no control over third-party cookies and are not responsible for them. We encourage you to check the cookie policies of any third-party sites you visit.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, and set preferences for certain websites. Please note that if you disable strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the Site may not function correctly.

You can also opt out of interest-based advertising across participating companies via the Your Online Choices tool, although this is not relevant to this Site as we do not use advertising cookies.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how we use cookies, please contact us at [email protected].
