By using this site you indicate that you agree to the terms and conditions of use as outlined below.
Disclaimer
This website is based on personal experiences and as such all content should be treated as opinion only. The route guides were constructed with the best of intentions but are provided without any claim as to their safety or legal right of way. It is your responsibility to ride safely and to ensure that you have legal right of way over any routes taken, as well as for ensuring you're fit and healthy enough to make the trip. No responsibility can be taken for any accidents, injuries, or other incidents arising as a result of using the content on this site.
Copyright & Linking to us
We hope you enjoy reading this website and find its contents useful. We are happy for you to copy, reproduce, and link to the information that is hosted on these pages, with no requirement to seek our permission first, as long as it is for personal, non-commercial use only and that you give due credit to CycleLEJOG.com with a prominent link to this website.
Third party links
Throughout this website are numerous links to 3rd party websites. These links are provided for your convenience only and you must acknowledge that they are not under our control. Whilst we've checked all of the links before publishing them, the nature of the internet means that their content may change over time and clicking them is entirely at your own risk - we cannot be held responsible for the content of any 3rd party website.
The provision of a link also does not imply endorsement of that website on our part.
Measuring our visitors
We measure visitors to our website using Google Analytics. This records what pages you view within our site, how you arrived at our site and some basic information about your computer. All of that information is anonymous – so we don't know who you are; just that somebody visited our site.
The information we collect from analytics helps us understand what parts of our sites are doing well, how people arrive at our site and so on. Like most websites, we use this information to make the website better.
You can learn more about Google Analytics or opt out if you wish.
Affiliate programs
Another way in which the costs of developing and running this website are partly covered is through participating in some retailer affiliate programs. Any link you see on the site with a star (*) next to it, or adverts that link to Bookshop.org, is an affiliate link. These take you to retailers from where you can buy the products being linked from; if you subsequently buy the item then the retailer will pass me a referral fee. This fee is taken from their own profits - the cost of the item to you is no different to had you gone to the retailer directly.
CycleLEJOG.com is a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon UK.
We are also an affiliate of Bookshop.org. If you buy a book from our bookstore (https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/cyclelejog) we may earn a commission from Bookshop.org, whose fees support independent bookshops.
Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and other social networks
These services provide social buttons and similar features which we use on our website – such as the “Like” and “Tweet” buttons.
To do so we embed code that they provide and we do not control ourselves. To function their buttons generally know if you’re logged in; for example Facebook use this to say “x of your friends like this”. We do not have any access to that information, nor can we control how those networks use it.
Social networks therefore could know that you’re viewing this website, if you use their services (that isn’t to say they do, but their policies may change). As our website is remarkably inoffensive we imagine this is not a concern for most users.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored by your web browser and allow websites to function. CycleLEJOG.com does not itself place any cookies on your browser, apart from a prior version of the website that used cookies to - ironically - keep track when you've clicked to acknowledge the use of cookies (yes we hate those cookie warning banners too!).
Certain 3rd party services that CycleLEJOG.com uses however may place cookies on your computer. These include Google Analytics and Facebook. These are outside of our control. If you wish to disable these "3rd party cookies" then you can normally do so in your browser settings, or via the service's own portals.
If you follow certain links on this website to an online retailer then the retailer and our affiliate partners (Amazon and Affiliate Window) may then use cookies for the purpose of tracking your purchases. This is so they can identify that any purchases were as a result of a link from this website for the purposes of paying CycleLEJOG a small commission. All such links are marked with a *.
Our sister website (ie, I wrote both websites!), BeCyberSafe.com, has lots of useful information on it on internet privacy, including what cookies are and how to block them.
