Overview

Beyond The Jolly Roger is an informational and editorial website. We do not sell personal data, and we collect as little as possible. This page explains the cookies and analytics we use, and how you control them.

Analytical Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate audience behaviour — which pages are read and how the site is navigated. This helps us improve the museum content.

Analytical cookies are loaded only after you give your consent via the cookie banner. If you decline, no tracking cookies are loaded and the site continues to work normally. You may change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's saved preference for this site (or its cookies).

What Google Analytics Collects

When enabled, Google Analytics processes anonymous usage data such as pages visited, device and browser type, general geographic region, and interactions. It does not collect your name, email, or any personally identifying information unless you choose to provide it on this site.

Google's own cookie and data-processing details are described in the Google Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy). You can also install the official Google Analytics Opt-out browser add-on to prevent data collection.

Your Consent

Your choice is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted to the site, to Google, or to any third party. Revoking or granting consent only affects analytics on this site.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to The Captain's Log newsletter, we collect your email address for the sole purpose of sending you the newsletter. Subscriptions use double opt-in: you confirm via a link in a confirmation email before being added.

Email processing is provided by Buttondown, a third-party newsletter service. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email, which removes your address from the list.

Contact

Questions about this policy can be directed to the site curator. We do not send marketing mail and we do not maintain mailing lists.
