Cookie Policy.

Every cookie we set, what it does, and how to turn it off. No dark patterns — "reject" is one click, same as "accept".

Cookie Settings

01 — WHAT ARE COOKIES

The Basics

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They let the site remember things between visits — like the fact that you've already dismissed a banner, or the language you prefer. Some are set by us (first-party), others by services we use such as Google Analytics (third-party).

We also use the browser's localStorage to remember your consent choice. It's not technically a cookie, but it has the same privacy implications, so we treat it the same way.

02 — CATEGORIES WE USE

Two Buckets, That's It

Strictly Necessary

Always on

Required for the site to work — remembering your consent choice, keeping you secure. No consent needed; you can't turn them off without breaking the site.

Analytics

Off by default

Help us understand how the site is used — which pages are popular, where people get stuck. Set only after you click Accept.

We do not use advertising, retargeting, or social-media tracking cookies. We also do not run a marketing pixel.

03 — THE FULL LIST

Every Cookie We Set

Strictly Necessary

Name Provider Purpose Duration Type
pm_consent_v1 purplemesh.in Remembers your cookie consent choice so we don't ask twice. 12 months localStorage

Analytics (only after you accept)

Name Provider Purpose Duration Type
_ga Google Analytics Distinguishes unique users with a pseudonymous ID. IP is anonymised before storage. 2 years HTTP cookie
_ga_<id> Google Analytics Persists session state for our specific GA4 property. 2 years HTTP cookie
_gid Google Analytics Distinguishes users for 24 hours (used in some GA4 configurations). 24 hours HTTP cookie

Cookie names and lifetimes are set by Google and may change. We update this list when we notice a change.

04 — HOW WE GATE GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Google Consent Mode v2

We use Google Consent Mode v2 with analytics_storage set to denied by default. That means until you click Accept, Google Analytics receives no identifiers and no cookies are stored — the script loads but is "frozen".

When you accept, we send a single consent update signal and Google Analytics begins counting your visit. If you later reject, the signal flips back and no further data is sent from your browser.

05 — BROWSER CONTROLS

Manage Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies from their settings. The official docs:

You can also opt out of Google Analytics entirely with the official browser add-on.

06 — CHANGES

Updates to This Policy

When we add, remove, or change a cookie we update this page and bump the version on our consent banner so returning visitors are asked again. The "Last updated" date at the top tells you when this version took effect.
