Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2026
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and give site owners information about how their site is being used.
This policy explains what cookies we use on sproggo.co.uk and why. It complies with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to work. Without them, the site would not function properly. You cannot opt out of essential cookies because they are required to deliver the service you have requested. Under PECR, we do not need your consent for these.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sproggo_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference so we don't keep asking you. | 1 year |
| sproggo_location* | Stores your location (coordinates and postcode if entered) so we can show accurate distances without asking each visit. Only set when you grant location access or enter a postcode. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| sproggo_location_consent* | Remembers whether you agreed or declined location access so we don't ask again each visit. If you decline, it expires after 30 days and we'll ask once more. | Persistent / 30 days (localStorage) |
| sproggo_search_filters* | Remembers your last search filters (age range, distance, categories) so you don't have to set them again each time you search. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| sproggo-theme* | Stores your light or dark mode preference. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| sproggo:viewed* | Tracks which activities you've already viewed this session so we can record accurate view counts. Cleared when you close the tab. | Session (sessionStorage) |
| __clerk_*, __session | Set by our authentication provider to keep you signed in and secure your session. | Session / up to 1 year |
| sentry_* | Used by our error monitoring service to track whether an error has already been reported, preventing duplicate reports. Stored in localStorage. | Session |
* Items marked with an asterisk use your browser's localStorage or sessionStorage rather than traditional cookies. They are never sent to our servers automatically and stay entirely on your device. We list them here for transparency.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how people use Sproggo so we can make it better. These cookies are only set if you click "Accept all cookies" on the consent banner. If you choose "Essential cookies only", no analytics cookies are set.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Used by Google Analytics to distinguish unique visitors. | 2 years |
| _ga_<ID> | Used by Google Analytics to maintain session state. | 2 years |
Google Analytics processes data on our behalf. You can find out more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
