This site sets no analytics or marketing cookies unless you accept them. If you decline, or simply ignore the banner, nothing beyond a single record of that choice is stored.
What we use
| Cookie / storage | Purpose | Set when | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
mk_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we don't ask again on every page. | Always, as soon as you make a choice | 6 months |
_ga | Google Analytics. Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count sessions. | Only if you accept | 2 years |
_ga_9PHKY3Y6B2 | Google Analytics. Maintains session state for this property. | Only if you accept | 2 years |
What we don't use
No advertising cookies. No remarketing or conversion pixels. No social media trackers. No cross-site profiling. If that changes, this page changes first.
How the choice works
We use Google Consent Mode with analytics storage set to denied by default. Google Analytics does not load with storage permissions until you press Accept. Declining is a single click and is given the same prominence as accepting, because a choice that isn't free isn't consent.
We also ask Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses.
Changing your mind
Use the Cookie settings link here or in the footer of any page. Your current choice will be shown and you can change it immediately.
You can also clear cookies through your browser settings, which will reset your choice and cause the banner to appear again on your next visit.
More detail
How we handle personal data generally is set out in our privacy policy. Google's own description of how Analytics uses data is published at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
