Cookie Policy
Last updated: 23 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Track Adventures uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use and protect personal information.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at info@trackadventure.co.uk.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your device when you visit them.
They can perform a number of functions, such as enabling essential website features, remembering your preferences and helping website owners understand how their websites are being used.
Some cookies only remain on your device during your visit, while others may remain for a longer period.
Similar technologies, including local storage and tracking technologies, may perform comparable functions. References to “cookies” in this policy include similar technologies where appropriate.
2. How We Manage Cookies
Track Adventures uses CookieYes as its cookie consent management platform.
CookieYes helps us:
- display our cookie consent banner;
- allow visitors to accept or reject non-essential cookies;
- allow visitors to manage individual cookie categories;
- remember visitors’ cookie preferences;
- block certain non-essential cookies and scripts until consent has been provided, where configured;
- scan the website to identify cookies and trackers; and
- maintain records of cookie consent.
CookieYes itself may use a necessary cookie to remember and manage your consent preferences.
3. Your Consent
When you first visit Track Adventures, you may be shown a CookieYes consent banner.
This allows you to choose whether to permit non-essential cookies.
Depending on the cookies currently used on Track Adventures, you may be able to:
- Accept All optional cookies;
- Reject All optional cookies; or
- Customise your choices by cookie category.
Non-essential cookies that require consent should not be activated until you have made the appropriate choice.
Strictly necessary cookies may operate without your consent where they are required to provide the website or a service you have requested.
4. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent
You can change your cookie preferences or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie Settings control available on Track Adventures.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
Changing your preferences may affect some optional website features, but rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent you from accessing the core content of Track Adventures.
5. Types of Cookies We Use
Cookies used by Track Adventures may fall into the following categories.
Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies enable essential website functions and cannot normally be switched off through our cookie preferences.
They may be required for:
- website security;
- cookie consent management;
- remembering privacy choices;
- maintaining sessions;
- account authentication, where available;
- preventing fraud or misuse; and
- other essential website functionality.
Blocking these cookies through your browser may cause parts of Track Adventures to stop functioning correctly.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable additional website functionality and personalisation.
They may be used to remember choices such as:
- website preferences;
- selected filters;
- display settings;
- layout preferences; and
- other optional settings.
Where required by law, these cookies will only be activated with your consent.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how people use Track Adventures.
They may provide information about:
- pages visited;
- railway sets and layouts viewed;
- how visitors arrived at Track Adventures;
- how visitors navigate through the website;
- features visitors interact with;
- approximate visit duration;
- browser and device types; and
- website errors or performance issues.
We may use this information to understand which parts of Track Adventures are most useful and to improve the website, its content and its tools.
Analytics cookies requiring consent will only be activated after you have consented to them.
Advertisement and Marketing Cookies
Track Adventures may use advertising or marketing cookies in the future.
These technologies may be used to understand the effectiveness of advertising or promotional campaigns and, where applicable, to provide more relevant advertising.
Where these cookies require consent, they will not be activated unless you choose to accept them.
Affiliate Tracking
Some Track Adventures pages may contain affiliate links.
When you follow an affiliate link to a retailer or another website, the third party may use cookies or similar technologies to identify that your visit originated from Track Adventures.
If you subsequently make a qualifying purchase, Track Adventures may receive a commission.
This does not normally increase the price you pay.
The retailer, affiliate network or other third party is responsible for its own cookies and privacy practices once you visit its website.
6. Embedded Content
Track Adventures may include content provided by third-party services, including embedded video content.
Third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded or when you interact with it.
Where these technologies require consent, we may use CookieYes to prevent them from being activated until you have provided the appropriate consent.
Once you choose to interact with a third-party service, its own privacy and cookie policies may also apply.
7. CookieYes Consent Records
CookieYes may process limited technical information in order to record and demonstrate your cookie consent choices.
This may include information such as:
- your consent preferences;
- a consent identifier;
- the date and time of your consent;
- country information where available; and
- a masked or anonymised version of your IP address.
This information is used for consent management and to help Track Adventures demonstrate that visitors’ cookie choices have been respected.
CookieYes acts as a service provider to Track Adventures for these purposes.
8. User Accounts and Saved Collections
If Track Adventures introduces user accounts, some cookies or similar technologies may be necessary to:
- keep you securely signed in;
- protect your account;
- remember account preferences;
- support saved railway collections;
- save favourite layouts; and
- provide personalised functionality.
Some of these technologies may be strictly necessary to provide functionality you have requested.
Information about your railway collection, saved layouts or account may be stored in our databases rather than directly within cookies.
9. Layout Generation and Personalisation
As Track Adventures develops, we may introduce tools that generate or recommend railway layouts based on the sets and components you own.
Cookies or similar technologies may be used to remember temporary selections and preferences while you use these tools.
These could include:
- selected sets or components;
- layout filters;
- available space;
- complexity preferences; and
- other generation settings.
Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, they will be subject to your cookie preferences where required.
10. Current Cookies Used by Track Adventures
Track Adventures uses CookieYes to scan the website and identify cookies and tracking technologies.
The current list of cookies, including their:
- name;
- provider;
- purpose;
- category; and
- duration
is made available through our CookieYes cookie information and preference interface.
Because the cookies used by Track Adventures may change as the website develops, this information may be updated following future website scans.
Using the current CookieYes information allows visitors to see a more accurate list than maintaining a static list within this policy.
11. How Long Cookies Last
Different cookies remain on your device for different periods.
Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain for a specified period or until you delete them.
The lifespan of individual cookies detected on Track Adventures can be viewed through the CookieYes cookie information interface where available.
12. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
In addition to using the Track Adventures Cookie Settings control, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies directly.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- view stored cookies;
- delete cookies;
- block particular cookies;
- block third-party cookies; or
- prevent websites from storing cookies altogether.
Blocking all cookies may prevent some website functionality from working correctly.
13. Children’s Privacy
Track Adventures relates to toys and family activities, but website accounts and other interactive features are intended to be used and managed by adults unless expressly stated otherwise.
We do not use cookies with the intention of profiling children for advertising purposes.
Parents and guardians should supervise children’s use of Track Adventures and any third-party content accessible through the website.
Please see our Privacy Policy for more information about children’s privacy.
14. Third-Party Services
Some cookies or similar technologies used through Track Adventures may be provided by third parties.
Those providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
Where required, CookieYes will provide information about the relevant cookie or provider and allow you to manage your consent.
15. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect:
- changes to cookies used on the website;
- new website functionality;
- new analytics services;
- new affiliate programmes;
- account and membership functionality;
- layout generation tools;
