Cookie Policy

Last updated: 3 February 2026

A quick note before the legal bits

I use basic analytics on this site simply to understand what’s being read and what’s being skipped — so I can make better choices about future stories, trips, and practical guides.

No analytics information is ever sold or shared for advertising. It’s used only to help this site work better and to understand what people genuinely want to read — from camper van journeys to small lessons learned along the way.

This website, My Camper Van Life (https://mycampervanlife.co.uk), uses cookies and similar technologies to help the site work properly and to understand how visitors use it.

This policy explains what cookies are, how they’re used here, and how you can control them.
