Cookie policy
Captains Cove only uses cookies and device storage that are strictly necessary for the site to work. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not let third parties track you here. Under UK rules (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not need your consent, so there is nothing to accept or reject.
To see how busy the site is, each page sends an anonymous signal. Nothing is stored on your device for this, your network address is never saved, and the anonymous code changes every day so you cannot be followed over time.
