These cannot be switched off through our cookie settings, although you may be able to block them in your browser. If you block essential cookies, parts of the site may not work properly.
4. Preference cookies
Preference cookies or similar technologies may help remember choices such as display settings, saved interface preferences, or other non-essential settings.
Where these are not strictly necessary, you can choose whether to allow them.
5. Analytics cookies
Analytics help us understand how people use Narrow & Wide, what pages are useful, and where the site needs improving.
If we use analytics, we should aim to use privacy-friendly analytics where possible.
Analytics should only run where allowed by the user, unless future rules clearly allow a specific privacy-preserving approach without consent and we have reviewed that properly.
6. Embedded content cookies
Narrow & Wide and Explore Moor may include embedded content in the future, such as YouTube videos, maps, route tools, social posts, or other third-party features.
Embedded content may allow third-party providers to set cookies or collect information.
Where required, embedded content should be blocked until you allow it.
7. Marketing, advertising, and affiliate cookies
Narrow & Wide may use advertising, sponsorship, affiliate links, or marketing tools in the future.
Where these involve cookies or similar technologies that are not essential, they should only run if you allow them.
We do not want marketing cookies to make the site feel creepy, manipulative, or untrustworthy.
8. Third-party cookies and services
Some cookies or similar technologies may be set by third-party services, such as:
- analytics providers
- video platforms
- map providers
- payment providers
- newsletter tools
- social platforms
- advertising or affiliate partners

We do not control every cookie or technology used by third-party services. Their own policies may also apply.
