Cookie policy
Last updated: 4 August 2026
This page explains what this website stores on your device, when, and how to change your mind. A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep; local storage is a similar mechanism that keeps a value in your browser without sending it back to the server.
What we store
Your cookie choice — always stored once you choose
When you press Accept or Reject, we record that choice in your browser’s local storage so you are not asked again on every page. This is not a cookie, it is never sent to our server, and it contains nothing but the word "accepted" or "rejected".
Analytics — only if you accept
If you accept, Google Analytics 4 is loaded and sets the following cookies. IP anonymisation is switched on, so your full IP address is never available to us.
- _ga — distinguishes one visitor from another. Expires after 2 years.
- _ga_<container id> — keeps track of the current visit. Expires after 2 years.
These tell us which pages are read, how people arrived and where they leave. The information is aggregated and we do not use it to identify anyone.
What we do not use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies
- No social media tracking pixels
- No third-party cookies that follow you to other websites
- No cookies that profile you or make automated decisions about you
Changing your mind
Your choice is stored in your browser, so clearing this site’s stored data through your browser settings will make the banner appear again and let you choose differently. Rejecting analytics removes the reason for the Google cookies to exist; you can also delete them directly through your browser.
You can block or delete cookies entirely through your browser settings. Because this site sets nothing essential, blocking cookies will not stop it working — you will simply be asked about analytics again on each visit.
