Privacy & cookies
Last updated: 14 November 2026
We collect as little as possible. This site sets no advertising, affiliate or tracking cookies, and uses privacy-friendly analytics that don’t use cookies.
Who we are
The person responsible for your data (the “controller”) is Lewis Towers, trading as Fell & Shore Walks. Contact: [email protected].
What we collect, and why
| What | Why | Lawful basis | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your email address, if you join the newsletter (once it is live) | To send the newsletter | Your consent (you can withdraw it any time) | Until you unsubscribe |
| Your email address and message, if you email us | To reply and fix errors | Legitimate interests (answering your enquiry) | 12 months |
| Anonymous page-view and page-speed statistics (Cloudflare Web Analytics, when switched on) | To see which guides are useful and whether pages load quickly | Legitimate interests | As set by Cloudflare, aggregated |
| Technical request data (such as IP address) processed by our host, Cloudflare, to deliver the site and keep it secure | To serve pages and block abuse | Legitimate interests | Short-term, under Cloudflare’s own policy |
We don’t sell your data, and we don’t build advertising profiles.
Cookies and similar technologies (PECR)
The law (PECR) requires consent before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, apart from those strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for.
- This site currently sets no non-essential cookies, so there is no cookie banner to click.
- Analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics is designed not to use cookies or local storage and not to track individual visitors across sites. See Cloudflare’s explanation.
- Security: Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies if its bot protection is switched on. These are exempt from the consent requirement.
- Later: if we ever add advertising or affiliate tracking that uses cookies, we’ll first add a proper opt-in consent banner (with “reject” as easy as “accept”) and update this page. Nothing non-essential will run before you say yes.
Other people’s sites
Links to other sites (the National Park, the National Trust, Etsy, bus operators and so on) leave this site. They have their own privacy notices and cookies, and we don’t control them.
Newsletter
The newsletter isn’t live yet. This section will be updated before it is, including how addresses will be stored and whether any data is transferred internationally.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask to see, correct, delete or restrict the data we hold about you, object to our use of it, ask for a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. Email us and we’ll respond within one month. If you’re unhappy, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Changes
If we change what we collect, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
