What this page covers
Cookies are small pieces of information a website can store in your browser. Local Storage is a separate browser feature that can retain information on your device. Both can be used to recognise a browser on later visits. This page distinguishes the authentication cookies used for administrator access from the Local Storage described for analytics. It does not treat every kind of browser storage as a cookie.
The site runs on WordPress and is hosted by Contabo. Public forms, comments and advertising are disabled. The server also keeps technical logs; those logs are not themselves cookies or Local Storage.
Administrator authentication cookies
Cookies are used for administrator sign-in. Their purpose is to support access to the administrator account, rather than to provide a public comment or account feature. Information about the specific cookies, their lifetimes and whether any other WordPress cookies are set for ordinary visitors has not been confirmed. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, but blocking authentication cookies may prevent an administrator from staying signed in.
Analytics and Local Storage
The supplied setup information describes self-hosted Kantan Analytics being connected during installation; it does not confirm whether that installation is active on the live site. The described analytics covers visits, pages, sources, countries, devices, clicks, scrolling and conversions. It uses random identifiers in Local Storage, rather than analytics cookies. The supplied information says IP addresses are not stored in the analytics statistics and external webhooks are disabled. Those statements do not establish what technical information might appear in separate server logs.
Detailed analytics records are described as being kept for 90 days; aggregates and summaries may be kept longer. The lifetime of the Local Storage identifier, the duration of those aggregates and the retention period for server logs have not been confirmed. The description also does not establish whether the analytics identifier is used on every visit or which particular interactions are recorded as conversions.
Choice, consent and browser controls
Rules for storing information on a device, or accessing information already stored there, can apply to Local Storage as well as cookies. Administrator authentication and analytics serve different purposes, so they should not be treated as having the same conditions for use. Whether the described analytics can operate under a specific exception, or requires prior consent, has not been established from the information available. If consent is required for a particular use, it should be obtained before that storage or access takes place. Simply browsing the site does not amount to consent to advertising cookies; advertising is reported as disabled.
You can use your browser settings to inspect and clear cookies and Local Storage, or restrict their use. Clearing an analytics identifier may remove it from that browser, but it does not necessarily remove analytics records already collected or prevent a new identifier from being stored on a later visit. A site-specific consent or withdrawal control has not been confirmed, so this page does not claim that one is available. Browser controls and a request to the operator are ways to raise a concern, but they should not be presented as substitutes for any consent or withdrawal mechanism that is required.
Questions about storage
For questions about the technologies described here, or to ask about information associated with your visits, contact Oliver Reynolds at help@wanderdiscover.com. It may not be possible to connect anonymous or aggregated analytics records to an individual visitor. No advertising cookies or affiliate-link tracking have been declared for this site. If the site's technologies change, the information here should be updated to reflect what is actually in use.
Visitor statistics — Kantan Analytics
We use self-hosted Kantan Analytics to understand visits: pages, traffic sources, approximate country, device and browser, clicks, scrolling and paths through the site. The plugin uses browser Local Storage for random visitor and session identifiers, rather than analytics cookies. A separate first-party preference cookie can exclude the site owner’s browser from analytics for one year. Automation checks may set a session preference cookie to exclude technical visits. IP addresses are processed for country lookup and abuse prevention but are not stored in Kantan statistics. Detailed records are retained for 90 days; aggregates, summaries associated with random visitor identifiers and conversion records may be kept longer. Forwarding conversions to external services is disabled. For questions or requests, use the operator contact details on this page.
