Our own cookies
uisgebeatha.co.uk does not set any cookies. We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics, advertising or social media tracker, so there is nothing to accept or decline and no cookie banner.
Things stored in your browser
Some tools keep a small amount of information in your browser’s local storage, which works like a cookie but is never sent to our server. We cannot see it.
On smaller screens, scroll sideways to see every column.
| Name | Used by | What it holds | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
ub_wq_<quiz name>_v1 | Whisky quizzes in tools | Your last and best score, number of attempts and the date of your last attempt | Until you clear it |
ub_whisky_production_quiz_v1 | Understanding whisky production chapter checks | Your score on each chapter check and which questions you have seen | Until you clear it, or use the course’s reset option |
These are only written when you use a quiz. They are needed for the feature you asked for, so we do not ask for consent first. To remove them, clear the site data for uisgebeatha.co.uk in your browser settings.
Search, sorting and filters do not store anything: a sort or search you choose goes in the page address so you can share it.

Bottle images from Master of Malt
Many bottle photos are loaded from Master of Malt’s image server, images.masterofmalt.com. When we checked on 1 November 2026, that server set a cookie called __cflb, a load-balancing cookie from its hosting provider Cloudflare that lasts about 24 hours. We do not control it and cannot read it. Your browser may block it as a third-party cookie, and the pages work the same either way.
After you click through to a retailer
When you click “View at” a retailer, you leave our site, and that retailer’s own cookie policy applies.
Links to Master of Malt go first through a tracking link from the affiliate network Adtraction (go.adt253.net). Adtraction and Master of Malt may set cookies so that, if you buy, the sale can be credited to us and we may be paid a commission. These cookies are set on their sites, not ours, under their own cookie policies. How we make money explains the arrangement.
Changes
If we ever add analytics or any other non-essential cookie, we will update this page first and ask for your consent before setting it.
