Your choice, and how to change it
Analytics cookies are blocked by default. Nothing in the analytics category is set until you select Accept on the cookie banner. You can change your decision at any time from the Cookies badge in the bottom-left corner of any page. That panel also shows your current status and lets you export your consent log as CSV or JSON for a compliance review. Clearing your browser's site data resets everything and brings the banner back.
Strictly necessary
Always active — no consent required
Required for the site to function, to record your own cookie choice, and to protect our forms from automated abuse. These are set whether you accept or decline analytics.
