Cookies
This is a short page, because the honest answer is short.
No cookies, no local storage, no session storage, no advertising identifiers. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to — and a banner asking permission for nothing would be theatre.
Why there are none
Most cookies exist to remember who you are across visits. WineHQ has no accounts, builds no profiles and does not personalise anything, so there is nothing worth remembering. Your answers in the Wine Finder are scored and discarded within a single request; there is no preference to persist because there is no preference stored.
Your browser and your device may still remember things on their own — light or dark theme preference, for instance, is read from your system setting and never written by this site.
What would change
If aggregate analytics is switched on in future, this page will be updated before that happens, and any identifier requiring consent under UK and EU rules will be gated behind an explicit choice rather than assumed. Strictly necessary functionality — none of which currently exists — would be the only exception.
