Your data stays in your browser.

We don't ask you to sign up, and we don't store personal information on a server. There is no account to create and no database holding your details.

The choices you make on the site — your language, your distance unit, and the clubs in My Bag — are saved on your device and never leave it, unless you choose to enable advertising cookies.

A few small cookies and browser-storage entries let the site remember your preferences between visits. None of them identify you personally.

We show display ads through Google AdSense to keep the site free. Until you accept advertising cookies, ads run in a limited, non-personalised mode that doesn't store cookies on your device (Google Consent Mode).

Choosing “Accept all” enables personalised ads and lets Google use cookies to measure them; “Necessary only” keeps ads non-personalised. You can change this anytime via “Cookie settings”, and read how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Some links to gear are affiliate links: if you buy through them we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. We mark these links and only point you at gear we'd genuinely recommend. A commission never changes our advice.

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool hosted in the EU. It counts aggregate page views and traffic sources without collecting personal data, without cookies, and without tracking individuals across sites. Plausible does not need your consent under GDPR, and is covered by a Data Processing Agreement.

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other tracking pixel that builds a personal profile of you.

Because your data lives in your browser, you're in control: clear your site data (or use private browsing) and everything we've stored is gone. You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time using “Cookie settings” in the footer.

If you're in the EU/EEA or UK, the GDPR gives you rights over personal data. Since we don't collect or hold personal data on a server, there's nothing for us to export or delete on our side — but any advertising partners you've consented to have their own controls, linked above.

This site is for a general audience and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from them.

We'll update this page if our practices change, and revise the date above. Material changes reset the cookie banner so you can review your choice.
