Cookies and preferences
Optional analytics and your browser storage choices.
Your choice
Google Analytics is optional. Before a valid choice, or after rejection, this site does not load the Google Analytics library. You can use the content and enquiry form without analytics. A banner lets you allow or reject analytics; the footer lets you reopen the choice.
Storage used by this implementation
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ovation-cookie-choice-v1 (local storage) | Stores your analytics preference, version and timestamp on this browser. No unique visitor ID is generated for this preference. | Choice expires after 180 days. Browser deletion removes it sooner. |
| _ga and _ga_* (first-party cookies, Google Analytics) | Distinguish visits/users and maintain session information after consent. | Configured here for up to 180 days, without renewal on every visit. Browsers may shorten this. |
Change or withdraw
Open Cookie settings in the footer and choose Reject analytics. The site disables future Analytics use and attempts to remove its accessible first-party Analytics cookies. If Analytics is already loaded, the page reloads to remove that runtime. Browser settings can remove stored data too.
If browser storage is unavailable, your choice applies to the current page and may be requested again on a later page. No choice means no analytics. Scrolling is not consent.
Other services
Fonts are hosted locally. External video platforms load only when you follow their links. FormSubmit receives form data only when you submit a valid enquiry. Its processing is explained in the privacy notice; analytics consent is not consent to all third-party processing.
