Privacy notice
A quiet archive, with a choice about analytics.
This notice explains what the Casebook does and does not collect. It was last reviewed on 19 September 2026.
Preferences saved on your device
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
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
Commercial links on this site do not currently use affiliate tracking. If that changes, links will be labelled and this notice will be updated before any additional non-essential tracking is used where consent is required. Read the commercial disclosure.
Correspondence
Email webmaster@villagemurdercasebook.co.uk or write to Does Your Duck Quack, 5 South Charlotte Street, Edinburgh · EH2 4AN.

Do not send passwords, payment details or other unnecessary sensitive information.
Changes to this notice
This page will be reviewed when the site adds forms, accounts, newsletters, advertising or a materially different commercial arrangement. The review date above makes those changes visible.
