Essential browser storage remembers your choice. The AdSense publisher loader is present with advertising storage denied by default. Google Analytics and optional Google storage do not start unless you select “Accept optional”. Advertising user data and ad personalisation stay disabled.
Your two choices
- Reject optional
- The site uses local browser storage named pisc-consent, pisc-consent-version and pisc-consent-date so it can remember your choice and when it was made. This information stays in your browser. Hosting infrastructure may also use strictly necessary security or access cookies. The AdSense publisher loader remains present for verification, but Google Consent Mode keeps advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalisation denied.
- Accept optional
- Google Analytics 4 (G-MQ8VFC968R) loads and can measure page views, scrolls, outbound clicks, downloads and selected tool interactions, including successful contact and update-form submissions without their contents. Our own site also stores aggregate daily counts for key tool and outbound-link actions. Advertising storage is also granted for Google AdSense (publisher ca-pub-5324784449468758), which may deliver non-personalised ads. We keep advertising user data and ad personalisation disabled. These implementations do not receive form answers or email addresses from us.
Google cookies and storage
- _ga
- Set by Google Analytics to distinguish a browser for statistical reporting. Configured to expire after no more than 13 months, subject to renewal while analytics remains accepted.
- _ga_MQ8VFC968R
- Set by Google Analytics to maintain session information. Configured to expire after no more than 13 months, subject to renewal while analytics remains accepted.
The AdSense loader can send a technical request to Google when a page loads. If optional storage is accepted, AdSense may also use cookies or local storage needed for non-personalised ad delivery, frequency controls, reporting and fraud prevention. See Google’s explanation of data from partner sites.
Change your choice
Use the permanent “Cookie settings” button at the bottom of the screen. A new choice replaces the previous preference. Selecting “Reject optional” stops new analytics events, denies Google ad storage and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies for this site. Reload the page after changing the choice so that any already-rendered advertising is cleared.
