What cookies this site uses, and why.
Last updated: 26 September 2026
What are cookies?
Small text files a website stores on your device to remember something between visits. This site uses them for one purpose only: understanding how visitors use it.
What cookies does this site use?
| Cookie | Purpose | Set by | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | Google Analytics | 2 years |
| _ga_37N8N3S5R0 | Persists session state for analytics | Google Analytics | 2 years |
| aa-analytics-consent | Remembers your cookie choice | This site | Until you clear browser storage |
That's the complete list. No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, no remarketing pixels.
How consent works on this site
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you're happy with analytics cookies. Accept, and Google Analytics loads and the cookies above are set. Decline, and none of the analytics cookies are set — nothing is tracked. Your choice is remembered so you won't be asked again on future visits.
How to change your mind later
Clear your browser's cookies/site data for this domain, then reload the page — the consent banner will appear again, letting you make a fresh choice.
