Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 13, 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, like browser storage, work in a similar way. They let a site remember things between pages and visits.
2. The cookies we use
| Category | Examples | Purpose | Asks for consent? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Firebase sign-in session (browser storage); theme preference (browser storage); your consent choices (FCCDCF, FCNEC) | Keep you signed in, remember light/dark mode, and remember your privacy choices. | No, these are needed for the site to work |
| Analytics | Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) | Count visits and understand how the site is used, so we can improve it. | Yes, in the EEA, UK and Switzerland |
| Advertising | Google AdSense and its partners (e.g. __gads, __gpi, __eoi, IDE) | Show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them, and (where allowed) personalize them. | Yes, in the EEA, UK and Switzerland |
Cookie names and lifetimes are set by Google and its partners and can change. Google explains its cookies in How Google uses cookies.
3. Consent
In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, we show a consent message from Google before analytics or advertising cookies are used, and you can accept, decline or choose specific purposes. Until you choose, Google's Consent Mode keeps those cookies off. Elsewhere, these cookies are used by default, and you can opt out as described below.
4. Managing cookies
- Change your consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland): use the "Privacy and cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page.
- Personalized ads: turn them off in Google's Ads Settings or at aboutads.info. In U.S. states with privacy laws, you can also use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link shown on the site.
- Google Analytics: install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Your browser: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential storage may sign you out or reset your preferences.
5. Changes and contact
