Cookie policy
Which cookies we use, why, and how to change your mind. Last updated 12 October 2026.
01In short
We use one optional set of cookies, from Google Analytics, and only if you accept them. Everything else the site stores is there to make it work, and it never leaves your device.
02Cookies and storage we use
| Name | Type | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Analytics (optional) | Google Analytics: tells visits apart | 2 years |
| _ga_4MVYR1TFDB | Analytics (optional) | Google Analytics: keeps track of your current visit | 2 years |
| cogent-consent | Necessary (local storage) | Remembers your cookie choice | Until you clear it |
| cogent-seen | Necessary (session storage) | Skips the intro animation after your first page | Until you close the tab |
| cogent-focus | Preference (local storage) | Remembers your reading-mode setting on articles | Until you clear it |
03Changing your mind
Use the "Cookie settings" link at the foot of any page to accept or reject analytics. If you reject them after accepting, we delete the Google Analytics cookies straight away. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings.
04Third-party sites
Our booking calendar (Cal.com) and WhatsApp open on their own sites when you click through, and they set their own cookies under their own policies. Fonts are served by Google Fonts, which doesn't set cookies.
