Cookie consent banner:When you first visit our site, a banner lets you accept all cookies or limit to essentials only. Choosing "Essential Only" keeps analytics cookies (Google Analytics, PostHog) from loading and stops Meta Pixel tracking, current visit and onward. Your choice is stored in localStorage and respected on future visits.
Meta ad preferences: You can also control how Meta uses data about you at facebook.com/adpreferences.
Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their privacy settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent login functionality.
Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
