1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners. This site also uses localStorage, a browser-based storage mechanism similar to cookies.
2. Cookies We Use
Below is a complete list of cookies and storage mechanisms used on this website:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| spark-cookie-consent | Spark Theory | Stores your cookie consent preferences | localStorage | Persistent |
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors to the site | Cookie | 2 years | |
| _ga_SNBYF3L39W | Maintains session state for Google Analytics | Cookie | 2 years |
3. Essential Storage
The spark-cookie-consent item is stored in your browser's localStorage. It records whether you have accepted or rejected analytics cookies and is necessary for us to remember your preference. This item does not contain any personal information and cannot be disabled as it is essential for the cookie consent mechanism itself.
4. Analytics Cookies
Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_SNBYF3L39W) are only set if you consent to analytics via the cookie banner. These cookies collect anonymised information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit and how long you spend on them. This data helps us improve the website. IP addresses are anonymised before processing.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Cookie banner: When you first visit the site, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject all, or manage specific preferences.
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Clear localStorage: You can clear your consent preference by opening your browser's developer tools and clearing localStorage for this domain, which will cause the cookie banner to appear again on your next visit.
6. More Information
