This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use on this site, and how you can manage or disable them if you'd prefer.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that get saved on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember things or, in our case, help us understand how the site is being used.
How we use cookies
Right now, the only cookies used on this site come from Google Analytics (GA4). We use these to see which pages people visit, how they got to the site, and roughly how the site is performing overall.
We don't use cookies for advertising, and we don't use cookies to try to identify you as an individual.
Cookies used on this site
Google Analytics sets a small number of cookies, usually named things like _ga and _ga_<container id>. These are used to distinguish between different visitors and sessions so the analytics data makes sense.
These cookies typically last up to 2 years, though this is set by Google rather than by us. You can find more detail on exactly what Google Analytics stores in Google's own documentation.
Managing or disabling cookies
Most browsers let you see what cookies are stored and delete some or all of them, and you can usually set your browser to block cookies going forward if you'd prefer. How you do this depends on which browser you're using, so it's worth checking your browser's help pages for the exact steps.
If you'd specifically like to opt out of Google Analytics across every site you visit, Google provides a browser add-on for this at
tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Blocking cookies won't stop you from using the site or getting in touch with us. It just means we won't get analytics data from your visit.
Changes to this policy
If the cookies we use on this site change, for example if we add a new tool, we'll update this page to reflect that.
