Which cookies this site sets, what each one actually does, how long it stays, and how to turn them off. No vague reassurance about improving your experience.
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to function at all. Others record how the site is used, so the people running it can see what is working.
Cookies cannot read other files on your device, and the ones on this site do not identify you by name.
Set by our website platform to keep the site running, remember your preferences within a session, and protect forms against abuse. The site does not work properly without these, so they cannot be switched off from here.
These tell us which pages get read, how people arrive, and where they leave. We look at this in aggregate to decide what to write and what to fix. We do not use it to build a profile of you as an individual.
Three cookies, which is all this site sets. Reviewed whenever we add or remove a tool.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _cfuvid | Cloudflare | Distinguishes legitimate traffic from automated abuse so the site stays available | Essential | Session |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells us whether a visit is a new or returning browser, so visitor counts are not double counted | Analytics | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_TLLYK7N76Y | Google Analytics | Holds session state for this site specifically, so we can see which pages get read | Analytics | Up to 2 years |
If you inspect this site and find a cookie that is not listed here, tell us. We will either document it or remove it. Note that your browser may also hold cookies from services you are separately logged into, such as Google. Those are not set by us and we cannot read them.
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, either for all sites or site by site. The settings are usually under privacy or security. You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which clears cookies when you close it.
Blocking essential cookies will break parts of this site, including forms. Blocking analytics cookies changes nothing about how the site works for you.
We update this policy whenever the cookies on the site change. How we handle personal information more broadly is set out separately.
