Cookies & your choices

Last updated: 5 November 2026

Essential storage

A session cookie whose name begins with fc_session_ protects forms against cross-site requests and supports administrator authentication. It is a session cookie, marked HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax, and Secure on HTTPS connections.

Your saved preferences

A localStorage value named fc_consent_v1 records your analytics and advertising choices and their date for six months. If browser storage is unavailable, optional tags remain blocked. You can reopen Privacy choices at any time.

Analytics and advertising

Google services may create cookies such as _ga and _gcl_au when enabled and allowed. Their names and lifetimes depend on Google’s configuration and may change. The site uses a basic consent approach: optional Google measurement scripts are not loaded before the corresponding choice. When Google’s consent platform is configured, its decision also applies to measurement and advertisement display.

Managing Google advertising consent

Where configured, Google’s Privacy & messaging platform presents its own regional consent message. The local preference panel does not replace that platform or its vendor-specific choices. Rejecting local advertising blocks this application’s ad requests. You may also use Google’s ad controls and browser controls.
