Cookie Policy
This site sets no analytics cookies unless you accept them. Until you choose, and if you decline, nothing analytics-related is loaded at all — the tracking script is never added to the page, so there is nothing to opt out of afterwards.
Change your choice
Your current preference is stored in this browser. Use the button below to clear it — the banner will reappear so you can choose again. Clearing it also stops any further analytics collection in this browser immediately.

What is stored, and when
Always — necessary
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
mjb-consent | Local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, so you are not asked on every page | Until cleared |
This one entry is what makes your choice stick. It holds a single word —
accepted or rejected — and nothing that identifies you.
It is not a cookie and is never sent to a server.
Only if you accept — analytics
Accepting loads Google Tag Manager, which in turn loads Google Analytics 4. Between them they set:
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so repeat visits are not double-counted | 2 years |
_ga_<container> | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current session | 2 years |
These tell me which pages people find useful and how they arrived. They are not used for advertising, and the data is not sold or shared with anyone else.
