What are cookies?
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can remember information in your browser. They help websites work, remember choices and understand how visitors use them.
How we use them
Escape Zone uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential: to operate the website, protect it from misuse and remember your privacy choices.
- Functional: to remember helpful preferences and provide enhanced website features.
- Analytics: to understand which pages are useful, how visitors move around the site and where performance can be improved.
- Marketing: to measure campaigns and, where used, make advertising more relevant.
Essential technologies cannot be switched off because the website may not work properly without them. We will ask for your permission before using optional analytics or marketing technologies.
Your choices
When you first visit, you can accept all optional technologies, reject them, or choose the categories you are comfortable with. Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent you from reading the website or contacting Escape Zone.
You can change your mind at any time using the button below. Your updated choice will apply from that point onwards.
Browser controls
Most browsers also let you view, block and delete cookies through their privacy settings. Blocking all storage may affect website features or cause your preferences to be forgotten. Guidance is usually available in your browser’s Help or Privacy menu.
Technologies and vendors used on this website
The current website uses the following technologies. “Local storage” is browser storage rather than a cookie, but we explain it here because it performs a similar function.
| Technology | Provider | Purpose | Category | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
escape-zone-consent local-storage record | Escape Zone | Stores whether you accepted or rejected each optional category and when the choice expires. | Essential | 30 days |
Google Tag Manager containerGTM-P92WHK8P | Loads and controls approved measurement tags. The container is not loaded until analytics consent is given. | Analytics | Runs for the page session; tags loaded through it may use the cookies below. | |
_ga and _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguish visitors and measure visits, page use and conversions in aggregate. | Analytics | Up to 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors for short-term traffic measurement. | Analytics | 24 hours |
_gat | Google Analytics | Limits the rate at which analytics requests are sent. | Analytics | 1 minute |
When analytics is accepted, we measure page and section views, active-time milestones, scroll depth, navigation, service and membership interest, outbound destinations, and the progress and outcome of tour or contact forms. Form field names and validation states may be measured, but names, contact details, access needs, messages and other entered values are not sent to analytics.
Google may receive device, browser, approximate location, page and interaction information when analytics is enabled. Read Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s business data information.
No marketing tags are currently configured by the website. If that changes, this table and the consent choices must be updated before those tags are enabled.
Hosting and fonts
The website is delivered using Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes technical request information needed to deliver and secure the site, such as IP address, request time, browser information and requested page. Our fonts are requested from Google Fonts; Google receives the technical information needed to deliver those files. These requests are used to provide the site rather than for Escape Zone advertising.
See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.
How long choices last
We remember your cookie preference for 30 days. You may be asked again sooner if we make an important change to the technologies we use or if you clear your browser data. Analytics-cookie durations are listed in the table above.

We may update this policy when our website or suppliers change. The latest version will always be published here.
