Cookie Policy
Effective 18 September 2026 · Last updated 18 September 2026
This page lists what this site stores on your device, what each item is for, and how long it lasts. You can change your choice at any time through .
Essential storage
These are set by this site, are needed for it to work properly, and are used whether or not you accept analytics. They are browser local storage rather than cookies, and they never leave your device.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|
| aril_consent_v1 | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, so you are not asked on every page | Until cleared | First party |
| aril_a11y_v1 | Remembers your accessibility settings (contrast, text size, font, reduced motion) | Until cleared | First party |
| aril_welcome_seen | Remembers that you have already seen the welcome message, so it shows once | Until cleared | First party |
Analytics cookies
These are only set once you press Accept. If you reject, they never run.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics: tells returning visits apart | 2 years | First party, data sent to Google |
| _ga_ plus the property’s stream ID | Google Analytics: keeps session state | 2 years | First party, data sent to Google |
Cookies set when you use the contact form
Our form is protected by hCaptcha, which may set its own cookies when you interact with the form in order to tell people from bots. These are governed by hCaptcha’s own privacy terms.
Cookies set by the embedded map
The Find Us section can show a Google Map. It does not load until you accept cookies or press the button on the map itself. Once loaded, Google may set its own cookies, governed by Google’s privacy terms. If you would rather not load it, the “Get directions” link opens Google Maps in a new tab instead.
What we do not use
No advertising or retargeting pixels, no social media tracking pixels, no chat widget, and no cross-site profiling.
Managing cookies in your browser
As well as the controls on this site, every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and clear site storage. Blocking essential storage will mean the site forgets your accessibility settings and asks about cookies again.
