Cookies & browser choices

We keep public browsing lightweight. Optional third-party services stay off until you choose to enable them.

What the public website uses

The public pages use self-hosted fonts and images. We do not install advertising pixels or analytics trackers. Hosting/security providers may use strictly necessary security technologies. The privacy-choice record (uh-privacy-v1 in local storage) remembers your selection and expires after 180 days; you can change it through Cookie settings in the footer.

Optional Google form protection

When a valid reCAPTCHA configuration is connected, you can choose to enable Google form protection. Its script is loaded only after that choice on a page containing a form. Google may process device, browser and interaction information and set cookies such as _GRECAPTCHA for risk analysis. Google’s privacy policy and terms apply. Declining optional protection does not stop you browsing; you can contact us by email instead of using a protected form.

Private administration

The separate VPN-only administration site uses necessary authentication/session cookies for signed-in editors. These are separate from optional public-site services and are required for the administration session.

Manage or withdraw a choice

Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time. A withdrawal stops our page from loading Google protection on subsequent use; if it was already loaded, the page reloads to remove active scripts. Third-party cookies already set may need removal through your browser settings. No optional category is preselected.
