What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and device identifiers. “First-party” cookies are set by this Site; “third-party” cookies are set by other companies, such as Google.
Cookies used on this Site
- Strictly necessary. Needed for the Site to work, for example WordPress security and session cookies, contact-form spam protection, and the cookie that remembers your consent choice. These can’t be switched off in the consent message.
- Analytics. Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) cookies such as
_gaand_ga_*measure visits and page use in aggregate. - Advertising. Google AdSense and certified third-party vendors may set cookies (for example Google’s
IDE,__gads,__gpiandNID) to serve and measure ads, limit how often you see an ad, prevent fraud and, where you allow it, personalize ads based on your visits to this and other sites. - Consent and privacy signals. Google’s consent message stores your choices (for example the IAB TCF consent string
FCCDCF/FCNECor a U.S. privacy/GPP opt-out signal) so they are respected on later visits.
Cookie names and lifetimes are set by the providers and can change. For Google’s current list, see How Google uses cookies.
