Cookie policy
We use a small number of cookies to make this site work and — if you consent — to understand how people use it. This page explains each cookie and how to manage them.
1. Essential cookies
These are always active because the site cannot function without them.
- PHPSESSID — session cookie used to keep admin users logged in. Expires when the browser closes.
- aaz_cookie_consent_v1 — stores your cookie preferences so we don't ask again. 12 months.
2. Analytics cookies (on consent only)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic in aggregate — most-viewed pages, session length, referral sources. These cookies are set only if you click "Accept" in the cookie banner.
- _ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics client identifier. 2 years.
IP addresses are anonymised before being sent to Google. We do not use advertising features.
3. Functional cookies (no personal data)
- aaz_promo_* — remembers you dismissed an on-site promotion so we don't show it again this session. Session-level.
4. How to manage
You can accept or reject analytics cookies via the banner on your first visit. To change your choice later, clear site data in your browser and reload the page — the banner will reappear.
5. Browser controls
Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies via its settings. Blocking all cookies may stop some features (including the admin login) from working. Guidance: allaboutcookies.org.
