Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Browsers also have a similar store called local storage. This page lists everything this website keeps in either of them.
2. Cookies We Use
This website uses one functional cookie. Google Analytics cookies are only set if you accept analytics in the cookie banner. There are no advertising cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers the language you are reading the site in | Until you close your browser |
| _ga | Google Analytics, only with your consent: tells visits apart so they can be counted | 2 years |
| _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics, only with your consent: keeps track of the current visit | 2 years |
3. Other Browser Storage
- Maps: some research pages show interactive maps from Mapbox. On those pages the map software may keep a small technical record in your browser's local storage. See the Mapbox privacy policy.
- Your cookie choice: whether you accepted or declined analytics is kept in local storage, so the banner does not appear on every page.
- Admin login: the site administrator's login is kept in local storage. Visitors never get this.
4. Managing Cookies
You can change or withdraw your analytics consent at any time via "Cookie preferences" in the footer; the Google Analytics cookies are then removed. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the language cookie only means the site may not remember your language.

5. Changes to This Policy
If we add other analytics or tracking, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent before any such cookie is set. Changes are posted on this page with an updated revision date.
