What browser storage means

Cookies, local storage and session storage let a website remember small pieces of information in your browser. This site’s current features use local storage and session storage rather than tracking cookies.

Your cookie choice

master-na-chas:cookie-preferences is stored in local storage after you choose Analytics or Essential only, or save settings. It contains the notice version, your choice, and saved and expiry timestamps. We use it for 180 days so the notice does not appear on every visit. It does not contain your name or contact details.

After 180 days, or if the notice version changes, the old choice is no longer accepted. The browser may keep the entry until you clear it or save a new choice. You can change or remove it at any time through Cookie settings in the footer.

Moving between sections

master-na-chas:section-navigation uses session storage when you follow a link to a section on another page, including a language change. It contains the destination path, section ID and creation time. It is removed when the destination page reads it, and ignored if older than 30 seconds. If the navigation does not complete, it can remain until the tab’s session ends or the site next reads it.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is enabled by default. You can turn it off by choosing Essential only in the banner or Cookie settings. When enabled, it uses first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id> to distinguish users and retain session state; Google lists a default expiry of two years, subject to browser limits. We use measurement ID G-1Q859B8311. The setup measures page views, scrolling, outbound clicks, successful enquiry submissions, and phone and WhatsApp link clicks. Enquiry field values are not sent to Analytics. Advertising storage and advertising personalization remain denied.

Managing storage

Open Cookie settings in the footer to review the current setup, save your acknowledgement or remove it. You can also clear or block this site’s storage in your browser. If storage is blocked, the site remains usable but may show the notice again and may fall back to section links with a hash in the address.

Provider information

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Workers and uses Google Analytics by default unless the visitor turns it off. Future optional tools must remain off until they are documented here and the visitor has made the relevant choice.
