This page explains what cookies this website uses and how you can control them. The short version: a couple of technical cookies that make the site work, and analytics cookies that are set only if you say yes in the banner.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Some are necessary for a site to function; others help the site owner understand how visitors use it. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies; cookies set by other services (such as Google) are third-party cookies.
Cookies used on this site
Necessary cookies
These are required for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice itself. They do not track you and cannot be switched off. They include the cookies set by the consent tool (Complianz), which store whether you accepted or declined analytics.
Statistics cookies (Google Analytics 4)
With your consent, Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) that help me see which guides are read, how visitors arrive at the site, and on what kind of device. I use this to decide which guides to write next. These cookies are not set unless you accept them, and declining them does not limit the site in any way. Data is processed by Google Ireland Ltd.; some data may be transferred to the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
