Cookies

What we would like to use cookies for, what each one does, and how to change your mind.

Nothing is set unless you say yes

The only cookie we set without asking is the one that remembers your answer. Everything else is off until you switch it on, and you can switch it off again at any time. Turning a cookie off deletes it and stops the tool that set it.

The cookies we use

al_consent
Necessary, set by us. Remembers what you chose in the cookie banner, so we do not ask on every page. Kept for 180 days, then we ask again.
_ga
Analytics, Google Analytics. Tells one visitor from another, so we can count visits without knowing who you are. Google sets it for 2 years by default.
_ga_<ID>
Analytics, Google Analytics. Keeps track of a single visit. Google sets it for 2 years by default.
_clck
Analytics, Microsoft Clarity. Holds the Clarity ID Microsoft gives your browser for this site, so repeat visits are linked.
_clsk
Analytics, Microsoft Clarity. Joins the pages you look at on one visit into a single recording of clicks and scrolling. Anything typed into our forms is masked and not recorded.
CLID, MUID, ANONCHK, MR, SM
Analytics, set by Microsoft on its own domains. Microsoft uses these to recognise a browser across sites that use Clarity and other Microsoft services. See Microsoft's list of Clarity cookies.
No cookie, Ahrefs Web Analytics
Analytics, Ahrefs. Counts visits, pages and where visitors come from. Ahrefs says it sets no cookies. It uses your IP address to work out your location and then discards it, and counts one visitor a day from a scrambled combination of your IP address and browser details, which does not let it follow you from one day to the next. It loads only if you allow analytics.
