Cookie policy

Which cookies this site uses, what they do, and how to change your mind. Last updated 9 September 2026.

The short version

This site uses no advertising cookies and no tracking cookies. It uses analytics cookies only if you accept them, and one small local setting to remember what you chose so it does not ask on every page.

What is actually set

Always

plumbing_consent — stored in your browser's local storage, not sent to any server. It records whether you accepted or declined analytics, so the banner does not reappear on every page. Clearing your browser data removes it.

Only if you accept

Google Analytics 4 cookies (_ga and related), which distinguish one visitor from another so we can count readers rather than page loads. They do not identify you to us personally.

If you decline, the analytics script is not loaded at all — the consent state starts as denied under Google Consent Mode v2 and stays there.

Changing your mind

Use the “Manage cookies” link in the footer of any page to reopen the banner and change your choice. You can also clear cookies and site data for this domain in your browser settings, or browse in a private window.

Nothing on this site is gated behind cookie consent. Declining costs you nothing.
