Surge Yachting Ltd · Last updated: 15 September 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies we use on surgeyachting.com, what they do, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site work properly, remember the choices you make, and — where you allow it — help the site owner understand how the site is being used. Similar technologies such as browser local storage work in much the same way, and this policy covers those too.
We use a deliberately small number of cookies:
We do not use advertising, marketing or retargeting cookies on this website, and we do not sell your personal data.
Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically, because the site cannot work without them. Everything else — including analytics — is only set once you agree. The banner you see on your first visit lets you accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose category by category. Rejecting non-essential cookies will not stop you using any part of the site.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:
We will also ask you again at least once every 12 months.
Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen.
| Cookie | Set by | Category | What it does | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cookieyes-consent | CookieYes (surgeyachting.com) | Necessary | Stores the cookie choices you made on our banner, so we do not ask again on every page and so your preferences are honoured. | 1 year |
_cfuvid | Cloudflare | Necessary | Distinguishes between visitors sharing the same IP address so that our provider's rate limiting and bot protection work correctly. It does not track you across sites. | Session (deleted when you close your browser) |
_ga | Google Analytics | Analytics | Assigns a randomly generated identifier to your browser so repeat visits can be counted as one visitor rather than several. | 13 months |
_ga_DQ999VBNZK | Google Analytics | Analytics | Keeps track of the current visit (session state) for our Google Analytics property. | 13 months |
Cookie names and durations are correct as at the date above. Providers occasionally change them; we review this list periodically, and you can always see the live list in the “Change your cookie settings” panel.
If you allow analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to see things like which pages are viewed, how long people stay, which links they click, the type of device used, and the approximate country or region a visit came from. Google Analytics 4 does not store full IP addresses.
This data is pseudonymous rather than fully anonymous: Google assigns a random identifier to your browser, and in principle that identifier could be linked back to you. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from it, we do not combine it with the details you send us through our forms, and we have not enabled Google’s advertising or ad-personalisation features on this property.
We use Google Consent Mode, so Google’s tags are set to a denied state until you consent.
Our Apply, Register and Crew Request pages contain forms embedded from Tally (Tally BV, Belgium). The form runs inside a frame served by tally.so, and Tally may set its own cookies or local storage within that frame to make the form function and to prevent spam. Those are governed by Tally’s own privacy notice. If you never open one of those pages, no Tally content is loaded.
The providers involved in the cookies above are:
Where this involves transferring personal data outside the UK or the EEA, those transfers are made under the UK International Data Transfer Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, and, for providers that participate, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and its UK extension.
As well as our banner, you can block or delete cookies through your browser settings – look for “Cookies” or “Privacy” in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of this or other websites from working as intended. Clearing your cookies will also clear your saved consent, so our banner will appear again.
We may update this policy when the cookies we use change or when the law does. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
