This page explains the cookies and related measurement technologies used on this website. Essential cookies support core site functions and consent preferences. Optional analytics cookies help us understand usage when you allow them. We also use the measurement methods described below.
Cookieless Analytics
We use Independent Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that operates within this WordPress website. It records usage information such as page views, sessions, referring sources, approximate geographic area, device type, operating system, and browser.
Independent Analytics does not set cookies or send analytics data to Independent Analytics or other external analytics servers. A visitor’s IP address is used locally to determine an approximate location and is combined with the browser’s user-agent string and a salt to generate a one-way hashed identifier. The original IP address is not stored by Independent Analytics. Analytics records are stored in this website’s WordPress database.
Because this measurement does not rely on cookies, it may operate when optional cookies are rejected or when no choice has been made. Google Analytics operates under Google Consent Mode. Before consent, limited cookieless pings may be sent while analytics storage remains denied. Google Analytics cookies remain controlled by the choices made in the cookie banner. Learn more about how Independent Analytics handles data.
