Cookies Policy (Lizard CATCH)

Last updated: 30 January 2026

This website is operated by Lizard CATCH (“we”, “us”, “our”). This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use, and how you can manage your preferences.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies are necessary for the website to work properly; others help us understand how the site is used or enable certain features.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or

  • Persistent cookies (stored for longer).

How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

1) Strictly necessary cookies (always on)

These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, or for security and basic functionality.

Examples may include:

  • Security and anti-spam protection

  • Load balancing and performance

  • Saving cookie consent choices

Lawful basis: these cookies are used because they are necessary for the website to work and for our legitimate interests in keeping the site secure and reliable.

2) Analytics cookies (optional)

If enabled, these cookies help us understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are visited most). We use this information to improve the website.

These cookies are only set if you give consent via our cookie banner/settings.

We currently use:

  • Google Analytics / Jetpack Stats

If you do not use analytics, you can replace this section with:

“We do not use analytics cookies.”

3) Functional cookies (optional)

Functional cookies may enable enhanced features (for example, remembering preferences).

These cookies are only set if you give consent where they are not strictly necessary.

4) Third-party cookies and external links

Our website may link to third-party services (for example, a Crowdfunder donation page). Clicking these links may allow third parties to set cookies or collect data according to their own policies. We do not control third-party cookies.

If you choose to interact with third-party sites, please review their cookie/privacy information.

Managing your cookie preferences

You can manage cookies in two ways:

  1. Cookie banner / settings
    You can accept or reject optional cookies and change your preferences at any time using [insert link/button/wording used by your cookie banner, e.g., “Cookie Settings”].

  2. Browser settings
    Most browsers allow you to:

  • delete existing cookies, and/or

  • block cookies entirely, or

  • block third-party cookies.

Blocking all cookies may mean parts of this website do not function properly.

Cookie list (what we set)

Because WordPress sites can set cookies depending on themes and plugins, the exact cookies may vary. Common examples include:

  • Cookie consent cookie(s) (stores your preferences)
    Provider: Lizard CATCH / site domain
    Purpose: remembers your cookie choices
    Duration: typically 6–12 months (varies by tool)

  • Security / anti-spam cookies (if you use a security or forms tool)
    Provider: Lizard CATCH or plugin provider
    Purpose: protect the site and prevent abuse
    Duration: varies

  • Analytics cookies (only if you consent and analytics is enabled)
    Provider: your analytics provider
    Purpose: measure website usage
    Duration: varies

If you want a precise cookie list, you can:

  • check your cookie banner tool’s auto-generated cookie scan (if it has one), and/or

  • use your browser’s developer tools to view cookies set by the site.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date shows when it was last changed.
