This page explains what cookies and browser storage this site uses, why, and how to manage them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They allow sites to remember information between pages and visits. Browser local storage works similarly but is not transmitted to the server on every request.
What This Site Uses
Essential Browser Storage (not a cookie)
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie-consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie preference (accepted or declined) | Until you clear browser data |
This is stored in your browser’s local storage, not as a cookie. It never leaves your device. It is required to remember your choice so the consent banner does not reappear on every visit.
Analytics Cookies — Google Analytics 4 (consent required)
These cookies are only set if you click Accept on the cookie banner. If you click Decline, none of these cookies are placed.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique users across sessions | 2 years | |
_gid | Distinguishes unique users within a 24-hour window | 24 hours | |
_gat | Throttles the rate of requests to Google’s servers | 1 minute |
