Optional analytics
Optional Google Analytics is available on the published website, but stays off unless you accept.
When enabled and accepted, Google Analytics 4 helps me understand which pages attract readers, where visits come from, and which article and external links readers select. Google receives page and event information, including page titles, sanitized URLs and referrers, article identifiers, link destinations, and campaign labels. Analytics can also report engagement time and browser, device, and approximate location information.
Accepting analytics allows Google Analytics to use first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_... to distinguish browsers and sessions. These identifiers do not tell me your name. No advertising personalization, Google Signals, account identity tracking, or session recordings are enabled by this integration.
The website does not intentionally send raw site-search terms to Analytics. Unneeded URL query parameters and fragments are removed from the page and link information sent by the integration. Please do not put personal information in campaign parameters.
No Google Analytics script, analytics cookies, or analytics requests are initiated until you accept. Rejecting analytics does not limit access to any articles or website features.
Changing your choice
When analytics is available, use the footer's Analytics preferences control to accept or reject analytics later. Your explicit choice is stored in your browser's local storage under analytics-consent. If the consent policy materially changes, you will be asked again.
Withdrawing consent stops new analytics collection, removes accessible Google Analytics cookies for this website, and reloads the page without the tracker. Withdrawal does not erase information already sent to Google. Clearing your website storage also removes your saved preference.
Google processes analytics data under itsprivacy policy. ReadGoogle's information on safeguarding Analytics data for more detail.
Other local storage and search
The website stores your color-theme preference locally. Session storage remembers navigation context for the back button. These preferences are separate from analytics consent. Site search uses a downloaded Pagefind index in your browser rather than sending your search terms to Google.
Google Search Console
Search Console provides aggregate reports about this website's appearance in Google Search. It does not require an Analytics tracker on this website and does not tell me which named person visited an article.
