Analytics
StormLinks uses Google Analytics, connected through Google Site Kit, to understand how visitors use the website and to improve the experience.

Cookies
StormLinks and services used by the site may use cookies or similar technologies for basic website functionality, analytics, security, and performance.
The exact cookies used may vary depending on your browser, location, and the services active on the site.
External websites
StormLinks is designed around links to independent websites across the open web.
When you choose Open on a destination, you leave StormLinks and visit a third-party website. Those websites operate independently and may have their own privacy policies, cookies, analytics, accounts, or data-collection practices.

This session information is used to make the Trailguide work and is not intended to create a personal profile about you.
Data sharing
StormLinks does not sell visitors’ personal information.
Information may be processed by service providers used to operate, secure, host, and measure the website, including Google Analytics and our web-hosting infrastructure.

This Privacy Policy may be updated as StormLinks develops or as new functionality or third-party services are introduced.
