The short version

Nothing is set until you say yes. We would like to use Google Analytics to see which pages people find useful. It sets cookies, so we ask first. If you decline, no analytics cookie is ever created and Google is never contacted.

Strictly necessary

None. The site needs no cookie to work, so there is no "essential cookies" category quietly running in the background. Your accept-or-decline choice is remembered in your browser's local storage rather than a cookie.

Analytics, only if you accept

CookieWhat it doesExpires
_gaTells Google Analytics one visitor from another. Does not carry your name or email.2 years
_ga_14DM8CXBYNKeeps track of a single visit, so two pages in a row are not counted as two people.2 years

These are set by Google, not by us. We ask Google not to use the data for advertising or personalisation, and IP addresses are anonymised.

Changing your mind

Clear this site's data in your browser and the question is asked again on your next visit. You can also block or delete cookies for any site from your browser settings. Or email michaelogunyemi@xobyte.co.uk and we will confirm what, if anything, is held.
