Cookie policy
This page lists every cookie and similar storage this website puts on your device, what each one does and how long it stays. Your choices are described in our privacy notice.
What this site stores on your device
| Name | Type | Purpose | How long | When it is set |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent_analytics and cookie_consent_advertising | Browser storage (localStorage), not a cookie | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics, and when you answered, so the banner does not ask again on every visit. | Acceptance up to 12 months. A refusal is reviewed after about 6 months. | Always, once you answer the banner. |
| cookie_consent | Browser storage (localStorage), not a cookie | Older copy of a refusal, kept so earlier code keeps honouring it. | Only written when you refuse. | Only after a refusal. |
| _ga and _ga_K46XVJW3BM | Cookie set by Google Analytics | Lets Google tell one visit from another and count pages, time on page and device or browser type. Not used to find out who you are. | Up to 13 months, Google's default. | Only when analytics is allowed. In the UK, EU/EEA, Switzerland and Canada, and wherever your country cannot be found, that means after you accept. |
No advertising cookies
Advertising stays switched off on this website. Accepting analytics does not turn on advertising cookies, and no advertising or marketing tag is loaded.
Visit counting without cookies
Mezzino also has basic visit counting on this website. It records which pages are visited, where visitors came from, the country, browser, operating system and device type, how long a visit lasts, how fast pages load and any errors. It uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device and does not keep your IP address, so it cannot recognise a returning visitor or tell anyone who you are. This counting keeps running whether or not you accept analytics.
Changing your mind
Open cookie settings at any time to allow or stop analytics, including from the footer of every page. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, optional analytics stays off even if you accepted. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; clearing this site's data removes your saved choice, so the banner asks you again.
Who receives the data
Google receives the analytics measurements described above and can see your IP address while delivering them. The visit counting described above is collected for Mezzino and receives no cookies or identifying information. Read Google's privacy policy and Mezzino's privacy policy for their own handling of information.
