Cookies and browser storage
Updated 29 September 2026
Optional analytics stays off until you choose Allow analytics. Rejecting it does not stop you reading the site. Your choice applies to this website in this browser; Brew Tracker has its own setting.
What we store
- Privacy choice: local storage key
ics-analytics-consent-v1remembers allow/reject until you change it or clear browser storage. If storage is blocked, the choice only lasts for the page session. - Google Analytics, optional: Google may set
_gaand_ga_*cookies to distinguish browsers and sessions. Google’s default expiry can be up to two years and can be refreshed on a visit. Browser restrictions and service settings may shorten this. - Vercel Web Analytics, optional: measures page visits without analytics cookies. It follows the same allow/reject choice as Google Analytics.
- Service operation: our hosting provider can process request information for delivery and security even with analytics off.
Change your mind
Privacy settings offers the same allow and reject choices. Rejecting stops our analytics calls and removes this website's analytics cookies on its exact host. It does not clear parent-domain cookies or another service's analytics session cookies. It cannot retract data already sent to Google or Vercel. You can also clear cookies and site storage in your browser.
