4. Our First-Party Analytics
We measure how our website is used with our own analytics, hosted on our own servers. We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party tracking, and nothing is shared with advertisers. If you click Accept, we set the ag_vid and ag_sid cookies so we can see pages visited, time on page, buttons clicked, how you arrived (e.g. search, social, email or direct) and your device type and browser. If you choose Essential only (or before you choose), we only count an anonymous page view with no cookies or identifiers. IP addresses are never stored; we keep only a salted, one-way hash. Analytics data is deleted after 12 months.
5. Managing Cookies
You can accept analytics cookies or choose “Essential only” via our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time: change my cookie preference.
