Cookie policy
What this site keeps in your browser, what it sends to Google, and how to change your answer.
Last updated August 25, 2026
What this site stores
Some of what this site keeps in your browser is not a cookie at all. Your answer to the banner is local storage, which works the same way from your point of view — a small value saved on your device that is never sent anywhere unless a script reads it and sends it. The rest are real cookies. Here is everything.
- Your answer to the cookie banner. Saved in local storage, with the date you answered. Clearing it brings the banner back.
- Sign-in cookies. If you sign in, real first-party cookies are set to keep you signed in and are refreshed as you browse. Signing out clears them. Nothing is set for signed-out visitors.
- Google Analytics cookies, when analytics is allowed. These are Google’s, not ours, and are what gives your browser a visitor identifier.
Wait alerts are not stored in your browser. Your alerts, their thresholds and any notification subscription live on our server, tied to your account. The privacy policy describes exactly what that involves.
Your choice
Analytics is optional and advertising is unused. Your answer is saved as soon as you change it here, but reload the page to make it fully take effect — the reason is in the three categories below.
| Category | What it covers | Status | Change this category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Needed for the site to work at all. Your consent decision itself, and — if you sign in — the cookies that keep you signed in.
| Always on | Cannot be turned off |
| Analytics | Google Analytics. It sets its own cookies, gives your browser a visitor identifier, and reports a good deal more than page views to Google.
| Declined | |
| Advertising | Nothing uses this today. The site loads no advertising or conversion-tracking tag. The control exists so the answer is already recorded if that ever changes.
| Declined |
Start over
Forgets your answer entirely and resets Google’s consent signals to denied. The banner comes back on your next visit. That returns you to the same unanswered, quiet state described below — no analytics script loaded, nothing set — so clearing works the same as declining if that is what you want.
The three categories
Essential
Your answer to the banner, and the sign-in cookies if you have an account and are signed in. Without the first the banner would ask on every page; without the second you could not stay signed in. Neither is used to track you across sites.
Analytics
Google Analytics. It sets Google’s cookies, assigns your browser an identifier, and reports a behavioural stream, not just page views: which office you clicked and how far away it was, when you opened the report or alert dialogs, how far you scrolled, how long you stayed, what you typed into a search box here, and the phrase you searched on Google if that is what brought you. The privacy policy lists it all.
Before you answer the banner, Google Analytics does not run: the script itself is not loaded, so no cookie is set, no browser identifier is assigned, and no page view reaches Google — for any visitor, anywhere, until you grant that consent.
One thing about it is not instant, though. Declining after you have already allowed analytics does not detach the listeners that collect the events above right away: they were attached when analytics turned on and stay attached until the page reloads. Reload after declining — and after turning analytics back on — to be sure the change has taken full effect.
Our own visit counter is separate and is not part of this category, because it stores nothing in your browser and holds no identifier: opening an office page records the office, the hour and the day of the week, and nothing else. It runs whether or not you allow analytics. The privacy policy sets out the whole record.
Advertising
Nothing uses this. The site loads no advertising, remarketing or conversion-tracking tag, and we do not sell data. The control exists so that your answer is already on file if that ever changes, and so the consent signal sent to Google reflects what you chose.
Browser controls
Your browser can block or clear this material regardless of what you choose here. Blocking site data will also sign you out and bring the banner back.
