Cookie policy

Last updated 19 September 2026

This site sets no analytics cookies until you say yes. Decline and everything works exactly as before — there is no reduced version of the site for people who would rather not be counted.

What gets stored

Your cookie choice

When you accept or decline, that decision is recorded in your browser's local storage under the key tn-consent. It never leaves your device, and it exists only so the banner stops asking.

Analytics — only after you accept

Name	Set by	Purpose	Expires
`_ga`	Google Analytics	Distinguishes one visitor from another	2 years
`_ga_<ID>`	Google Analytics	Tracks a single visit	2 years

These show how people find the site and which articles are worth writing more of. They do not identify you, they are not used for advertising, and nothing is shared or sold.

Security

Cloudflare, which hosts and protects this site, may set a strictly necessary cookie such as __cf_bm to tell human visitors from bots. It lasts around 30 minutes.

Changing your mind

Clear your stored choice with the button below. The banner will ask again on your next page load, and nothing further is recorded until you answer it.

Browser settings can block or delete cookies too, and those override anything set here.

Why we ask

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations require consent before anything that is not strictly necessary is stored on your device. Analytics is not strictly necessary, so we ask. Google Analytics runs in consent mode: it loads with storage denied and is only granted if you accept.
