In short
- We use one essential item of storage to remember your cookie choice.
- Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity run only if you click Accept, or switch on Analytics in settings.
- We don't use advertising cookies.
- You can change your choice at any time.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in a similar way. Some are essential for a site to work. Others help the site owner understand how the site is used.
2. Your choices
When you first visit, our banner lets you Accept all, Reject all or choose in Settings. Optional technologies stay off until you choose. You can change your choice at any time:
Your choice is saved on your device for 12 months, after which we ask again. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal of analytics until you switch analytics on yourself. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work.
3. Cookies and storage we use
Strictly necessary (always on)
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| uvl_consent (local storage) | UVL Global | Remembers your cookie choices and when you made them | 12 months |
| uvl_consent_log (local storage) | UVL Global | Keeps a short history of your choices on this device, shown in the Consent Manager | Until you clear it (last 25 choices) |
Analytics (only with your consent)
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors to count visits and usage | 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Keeps the session state for Google Analytics 4 | 2 years |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Keeps the Clarity user ID and preferences on this site | 1 year |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Connects multiple page views into one session recording | 1 day |
| CLID | Microsoft Clarity | Identifies the first time Clarity saw this user | 1 year |
| ANONCHK | Microsoft Clarity | Indicates whether MUID is transferred to ANID, an advertising cookie. Clarity does not use ANID, so this is always set to 0 | 10 minutes |
| MR | Microsoft | Indicates whether to refresh MUID | 7 days |
| MUID | Microsoft | Identifies unique web browsers visiting Microsoft sites. Microsoft also uses it for its own operational purposes | 1 year |
| SM | Microsoft Clarity | Used to sync the MUID across Microsoft domains | Session |
When you make or change a choice, we also save a consent record on our server: your random consent ID, the choice, the page, your approximate country and the time. It contains no name, email or IP address, and we keep it for 5 years so we can show we respected your choice. Cookie names and durations are set by Google and Microsoft and can change. Before you consent, Google Analytics may receive cookieless signals (such as page views without identifiers) through Google Consent Mode, and Microsoft Clarity works in a limited, cookie-free mode. Clarity masks text typed into form fields.
4. Other third-party resources
To display fonts and icons, our pages load files from Google Fonts and the unpkg content network. These services receive your IP address and browser details to deliver the files, but they do not set cookies for this purpose.
