2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They may be used to make a website work, protect services from abuse, remember preferences, measure website usage or deliver content supplied by third parties.
We may also use similar technologies, such as browser session storage, pixels, tags and embedded content. In this policy, references to “cookies” include these similar technologies where appropriate.
3. Categories We Use

- External media technologies: are set or accessed when content from services such as YouTube or Google Maps is loaded.
We use Complianz to remember your Google Analytics preference. Analytics and third-party services may load when you visit the website. You can turn off Google Analytics using the cookie banner or the settings link below. Maps, videos and other external services are described in Section 5.

5. Third-Party Services
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with the website, including information about visits, sessions, pages viewed, approximate location, browser and device characteristics, and referral sources. The current measurement identifier is G-ELNTSX6RCM.
Google Analytics may send measurement requests to Google-operated domains, including analytics.google.com and stats.g.doubleclick.net. Google explains its use of Analytics cookies in its GA4 cookie documentation and its wider data practices in the Google Privacy Policy.
YouTube
Some blog articles contain embedded YouTube videos. Loading an embedded video may allow YouTube to receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and page URL and to set or read YouTube cookies. Depending on your Google account and privacy settings, YouTube may use these technologies for security, analytics, functionality, personalisation or advertising. More information is available in How Google uses cookies.
Google Maps
The About YTD and Quote pages contain embedded Google Maps. Loading a map allows Google to receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information and the page from which the map was loaded. Google may use cookies or similar technologies according to your browser, account and Google privacy settings. See the Google Privacy Policy.
Hostinger Reach and Cloudflare
The website may load a Hostinger Reach resource from cdn-reach.hostinger.com. That resource is protected by Cloudflare, which may set the __cf_bm security cookie for bot detection. Cloudflare provides further information in its Cookie documentation.
Website fonts
We store the Inter font on our own website.
6. Your Cookie Choices
Use Allow analytics, Turn off analytics or Customize on the cookie banner. To change your Google Analytics preference later, open Cookie settings. Without a saved preference, we also turn off Google Analytics when your browser sends a supported Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal.
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and to control third-party cookies. Browser settings vary, so please consult your browser’s help or privacy settings for instructions. Blocking all cookies may affect some website functions, including embedded maps or videos.
You can also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on where supported. When you turn off Google Analytics, we stop our Google Analytics tag and remove its accessible first-party cookies. Changing your choice cannot undo data already sent or remove cookies stored on third-party domains; those can be managed through your browser settings.
7. International Data Transfers
Some third-party providers identified in this policy may process information outside your country or region. Where applicable, such transfers are handled under the safeguards described in the relevant provider’s privacy documentation and our Privacy Policy.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, service providers, legal obligations or use of cookies changes. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated date.
Because third-party services may change the cookies they use, the table above describes cookies identified during our latest review and cookies that may reasonably be set by the embedded services currently used on the website.
