Cookie Policy

This site sets one cookie of its own today, and it exists only to remember your answer to the cookie banner. There are no advertising cookies and no cross-site trackers. Analytics cookies are not set yet either — Google Analytics is planned, and will only ever run if you turn it on.

Status

Draft — pending legal review. This page describes how the site works today and has not been reviewed by counsel. It is published for transparency, not as a binding legal document, and will be replaced by a reviewed version before launch.

Terms

The short version

A cookie is a small piece of text a site asks your browser to keep and send back on later visits. Most sites use them heavily. This one does not: we run minimal third-party code by design, because we advise clients to do the same.

Cookies this site sets

Name	Purpose	Lifetime
accurith_consent	Records whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we do not ask again on every page. First-party, no personal data, value is a version marker and a single 0 or 1.	12 months

That is the complete list. The consent cookie is itself strictly necessary — it records a legal choice, so storing it does not require consent, and there is no way to keep your preference without it.

We store your preference for 12 months rather than indefinitely, because consent is expected to be refreshed rather than held forever. If we ever add a new cookie category, the stored version marker stops matching and we ask you again instead of assuming your old answer covers something you were never asked about.

Analytics — planned, not yet running

The banner offers an analytics choice, but no analytics script is loaded on this site today, whichever way you answer. We put the choice in place first so that when measurement is added it starts out already respecting your answer, rather than needing consent bolted on afterwards.

We intend to add Google Analytics 4. It will not load unless you have turned analytics on, and it will not load before you have answered the banner at all. Nothing below is set on your device today; this section describes what will be set once analytics goes live, so that the change is not a surprise.

Name	Purpose	Lifetime
_ga	Google Analytics 4. Distinguishes one visitor from another. Not set today — set only if you have turned analytics on, once GA4 is live.	2 years
_ga_<container-id>	Google Analytics 4. Keeps session state between page views. Same condition as above.	2 years

This list is what Google's documentation says GA4 sets in a standard configuration. When we enable it we will check what our configuration actually sets and correct this table against the real thing, because a cookie policy written from a vendor's documentation rather than from the site itself is how these pages go quietly wrong.

Google acts as our processor for this data, and processing may take place in the United States. Our Privacy Policy explains that transfer and what it relies on.

Cookies we do not set

Advertising or retargeting cookies — none, and none planned
Social media pixels or share-button trackers — none
Data-broker or audience-selling tags — none
Session or login cookies — the site has no accounts to log into

One caveat, stated here rather than buried: Google Analytics can be configured to feed Google's advertising products and to follow visitors across sites, through the setting Google calls Signals. Whether that setting is on decides whether the first and third lines above stay true. It is listed in the open items below as an unmade decision, and this page will name the answer before analytics goes live.

Cookies set by others

Our CDN and security layer sits in front of this site and may set its own cookies to distinguish genuine visitors from automated attacks. Those are security functions we do not control from our code, and they carry no advertising purpose.

Pages that embed third-party content may cause that provider to set cookies under its own policy. We keep such embeds to a minimum.

Changing your mind

Use the cookie preferences link in the footer to reopen the panel and change your answer at any time. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and takes effect immediately.

You can also clear cookies in your browser settings, or block them entirely. Blocking the consent cookie means the banner will ask again on each visit, but nothing else on the site will break — none of our content depends on cookies.

Questions

Write to [email protected]. Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect through the forms on this site and how to have it deleted.

Open items

Still to be settled.

Listed here rather than answered with a guess — a policy that states a commitment nobody has agreed to is worse than one that admits the gap.

Google Analytics is not installed yet. Until it is, the analytics table above describes what Google documents rather than what this site does — the two must be reconciled by an actual cookie audit on the day it goes live, and this page updated in the same change.
Whether Google Signals is enabled. It decides whether GA4 behaves as aggregate measurement or as cross-site advertising infrastructure, and therefore whether the “no cross-site trackers” claim above survives. Undecided.
How GA4 is loaded. It must be blocked until consent is given and released only for visitors who turned analytics on; loading it before consent is not lawful in the EU or UK. The consent record itself stays with the banner this site already has, not a second tool.
The CDN's own cookies are described generically. Counsel to confirm whether they must be named and enumerated.
