Cookies
Last updated:
Google Analytics stays off until you accept analytics cookies. Your choice is remembered for 182 days, and you can change it here.
What happens when you choose?
Accept cookies enables Google Analytics 4 so we can measure visits and interactions with this website. Decline keeps analytics off. You can read the website and contact us with either choice.
Before a valid acceptance is recorded, the site does not load Google’s analytics tag or send analytics events to Google. Necessary website delivery and security still involve connection information, as described in the Privacy Policy.
Use Cookie settings in the footer or the button above to reopen the choices. If you withdraw consent after accepting, the site disables further Analytics collection and removes the accessible Google Analytics cookies it set. The change is also shared with other open tabs of this site. Data already sent before withdrawal is not erased by deleting a browser cookie; contact us if you want to make a data-rights request.
Your choice applies to this browser. Another browser or device has its own choice. Deleting the consent cookie, its expiry, or a change to the consent version makes the site ask again. Browser restrictions can shorten storage lifetimes.
Cookies and browser storage
Cookies are small values stored by your browser. Local storage is another browser storage mechanism. This site uses the following storage for consent and, when accepted, analytics.
| Name and category | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
ceb_consentNecessary cookie | Remembers acceptance or rejection. The current consent version is 2. The cookie is set by this site and does not contain your name or contact details. | 182 days from saving a choice, unless deleted or replaced earlier. |
ceb_consent_syncNecessary local-storage signal | Signals a consent change to other open tabs. It is not a second stored consent record or an analytics identifier. | Written and immediately removed when a choice changes; no lasting preference is stored in this key. |
_gaOptional analytics cookie | Google Analytics uses a browser identifier to distinguish visits. | Google’s default is 2 years; settings and browser limits can shorten this. |
_ga_<ID>Optional analytics cookie | Google Analytics retains session state for this website’s Analytics property. | Google’s default is 2 years; settings and browser limits can shorten this. |
The consent cookie is used across this website and is marked Secure on HTTPS connections. Consent changes also use a browser messaging channel where supported, so an open tab can respond without waiting for a new page visit.
Google documents the Analytics cookie names, purposes and default lifetimes in its GA4 cookie guidance. A cookie lifetime is not the same as the retention period of reports or event data held by Google. Accepting analytics does not enable advertising storage or advertising personalisation in this site’s tag configuration.
Cloudflare and security cookies
Cloudflare helps deliver and protect the website. Depending on the security feature applied to a request, it can set cookies to distinguish abusive traffic or remember that a browser passed a security challenge. Those cookies are conditional; they are not necessarily set on every visit.
For example, Cloudflare documents __cf_bm for bot protection, expiring after 30 minutes of inactivity, and cf_clearance for challenge clearance, whose lifetime depends on the challenge configuration. These are used for security rather than this site’s optional Google Analytics measurement. See Cloudflare’s cookie documentation for the features and storage involved.
Links, Telegram and software installations
Following a Telegram or other external link takes you to a separate service with its own privacy and cookie settings. This site’s choice does not control storage on those services. Telegram’s practices are described in its privacy policy.
X Bot login sessions, customer-uploaded media and the data used by a configured AI provider are part of the software installation, not this website’s analytics consent. See X Bot installations in the Privacy Policy.
Browser controls and questions
Your browser can show, block or delete cookies and local storage. Blocking all storage can prevent the site from remembering your choice or passing a security challenge. Declining analytics through our controls leaves necessary website functions available.
