This page lists what this website stores in your browser and which optional third parties can set cookies or identifiers. The choices themselves are at Privacy choices; the full description of the processing is in the privacy notice.
Analytics and advertising are on by default. You can turn either off at Privacy choices; the change stops the script loading on your next page view.
What this site stores itself
The application code does not set a first-party cookie. It uses local storage for the theme, interface language, accessibility settings and the consent record. Optional Google scripts can set their own cookies, including cookies on this domain, unless you turn them off.
| Key | Purpose | Lifetime | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
theme | Remembers light or dark mode. | Until you clear site data. | Essential / functional. |
site-language | Remembers the interface language you choose. | Until you clear site data. | Essential / functional. |
a11y-settings | Remembers text size, high contrast, reduced motion and underlined links. | Until you clear site data. | Essential / functional. |
privacy-consent | Remembers your analytics and advertising choice, the notice version and the time of the choice. | Until you clear site data or the notice version changes. | Essential; needed to honour and evidence your choice. |
privacy-consent-id | A random reference that groups consent events. It is not your name, email or IP address. | Until you clear site data. | Essential. |
cookie-consent | A value from the old banner. It is removed on your next visit and is no longer read, because it did not disclose analytics or advertising. | Removed automatically. | Retired. |
Optional third parties
These load by default unless you turn them off. YouTube’s player waits until you press play on a trailer. Machine translation is a server-side request rather than a browser script: it runs when you choose a non-English language, and no Google translation cookie is set by this implementation. Until then, no request is made.
