Cookies notice
A cookie is a small piece of text a site asks your browser to store. This site is a static publication. It does not need cookies to show assessments, field notes, or the contact form. We use a small number so we can remember a consent choice and, if you accept, so we can understand which pages are opened.
Types we use
Essential. The consent record itself. Without it, the banner would ask again on every visit. Rejecting analytics does not block reading, quoting, or sending a note.
Analytics. Used only if you press Accept on the banner. These help us see which pages are opened, in aggregate. They are not required for a sitting.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| monitorpulsepoint_cookie_consent | Stores whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies | Until you clear site data, or twelve months of inactivity in our own notes of the key | Monitor Pulse Point (stored in your browser) |
| mpp_page_seen | If accepted: a first-party note that a page was opened, used only to count visits on this domain | 6 months | Monitor Pulse Point |
| _mpp_ref | If accepted: remembers the first page you opened in a visit so we can see whether people reach /contact/ from a field note | Session | Monitor Pulse Point |
We do not load advertising networks. If a future sitting report is hosted by a third party, that host’s cookies would be described here before they are used.
How to manage or disable cookies
Use Accept or Reject on the banner. The choice is stored under the key monitorpulsepoint_cookie_consent. You can also clear cookies and site data in your browser, or use the browser’s controls to block this domain. Rejecting does not close assessments, the method page, or the form.
If you reject, we do not set the analytics cookies in the table. The site remains usable.
Third-party cookies
The typefaces are requested from Google Fonts. That request may allow Google to receive your IP address. It is not a cookie we set. You can block third-party requests in your browser if you prefer system fonts.
Impact of disabling
Disabling cookies may cause the banner to reappear. It does not cancel a dated sitting or alter a brief we have already sent. Application analytics work happens in rooms and documents, not in these cookies.
