Cookies policy
No cookies unless you say yes
Last updated 9 November 2026
The short version
- This website sets no cookies of its own.
- Google Analytics sets two cookies, and only if you say yes in the banner. Before you answer, or after a no, nothing from Google loads.
- You can change your answer any time with "analytics choice" at the bottom of the home page.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser, which it can read again later. Websites also use similar storage in the browser, such as "local storage"; this policy covers that too.
Everything this website stores in your browser
| Name | Set by | What for | Kept for | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
bt-analyticslocal storage, not a cookie | Bib & Table | Remembers your answer to the analytics question, so we don't ask again. It never leaves your browser. | Until you clear your browser's site data | Once you answer |
_ga | Google Analytics | A random number that tells one visitor's visits apart from another's, so we can count visitors. | 2 years | Only after a yes |
_ga_KGES1TMQTP | Google Analytics | Keeps track of your current visit, for the same counts. | 2 years | Only after a yes |
With Google Analytics, we turned off advertising storage, ad personalisation and Google signals, so these cookies aren't used for ads. Google's own explanation is in How Google uses information, and the privacy policy says how long the data is kept and where.
Firebase Hosting, which serves this website, sets no cookies. The site's fonts, pictures and videos come from the site itself, not from other companies.
Changing your choice
- On this website: click "analytics choice" in the footer of the home page and answer again. Saying no after a yes deletes the Google Analytics cookies and reloads the page without them.
- In your browser: you can also block or delete cookies in its settings. If you clear this site's data, we'll ask the question again.
In the app
The iPhone app uses no cookies. If you say yes to Google Analytics in the app, Google uses an app instance number of its own; the privacy policy explains it, and the app's Settings let you change your answer.
