The watchlist, spoiler settings and analytics choice use your browser's local storage. These choices stay in that browser unless you clear them. The analytics choice controls whether the Google tag loads.
Technical delivery and security
The hosting and network providers may process routine request information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as an IP address, requested page, browser details, time and security events. Cloudflare may set a short-lived, essential security cookie when its automated-traffic protections require it. The Casebook does not currently use this information for advertising profiles.
Optional analytics
Analytics storage defaults to denied. Advertising storage, advertising user data and personalisation also remain denied. Changing your analytics choice sends a consent update before the page reloads. If you select “Allow analytics”, the site loads Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-QYX3G06CBF) to understand visits and page use. Google may receive information such as your page views, browser and device details, approximate location and online identifiers, and may set analytics cookies. We use the resulting reports to improve the Casebook, not for advertising on this site. Select “No thanks” to browse without loading the Google tag. Use “Change analytics choice” above to withdraw or change your choice; previously collected information cannot be recalled by changing the setting.
Other websites
Links to broadcasters, publishers, Amazon UK, museums, maps, retailers and tour providers open services controlled by those organisations. Their own privacy and cookie notices apply after you choose to leave the Casebook.
Commercial links
Some commercial links use affiliate tracking, including Booking.com searches routed through CJ. The affiliate service and retailer may use the click to attribute a booking or purchase. Their privacy and cookie notices apply when you follow those links. Paid links are labelled on this site. Read the commercial disclosure.
Correspondence
Email webmaster@villagemurdercasebook.co.uk or write to Does Your Duck Quack, 5 South Charlotte Street, Edinburgh · EH2 4AN. Information you send will be used to review and answer the enquiry and kept only as long as reasonably needed for that purpose or a related legal record. Do not send passwords, payment details or other unnecessary sensitive information.
