The short version: no cookies unless you say yes.
This site sets no cookies until you allow it. Nothing is stored in your browser while the banner is unanswered, and nothing at all is stored if you decline. Accept, and Google Analytics sets two first-party cookies. That is the only thing on this site that sets one.
We also load nothing from other companies. Fonts, images, styles and scripts are all served from our own domain, so no advertising network, analytics provider or social platform learns that you visited.
We measure traffic with Google Analytics, but only after you accept. There are no visitor profiles, no session recordings and no advertising identifiers.
The banner gives you two equally weighted choices. Decline and nothing is set and nothing is sent to Google. Accept and two first-party Google Analytics cookies are stored, lasting 13 months, which tell a returning browser from a new one and keep track of a single visit. Neither contains your name or anything you typed. You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer.
Advertising and cross-device features are switched off, so those cookies are never used to build an advertising profile or follow you onto other sites.
Our store works the same way, with its own banner. The store at shop.redwhiteandclix.org runs on Squarespace and reports to the same Google Analytics account. Its banner is separate from this one, so you will be asked there too, and your answer here does not carry over. Before you choose, Squarespace sends Google a basic signal marked as not consented, which sets no cookies. Accept there and the same two cookies described above are set, lasting about 13 months.
Analytics went live on 27 September 2026. This page was updated in the same change, which is the order we promised.
When you follow a link to register for an event, donate, buy merchandise, or reach a government service, you leave this site. Those companies set their own cookies under their own policies, and we have no control over or visibility of what they do:
If we ever add an embedded map, embedded video, a social feed, a chat widget or an on-site payment step, each would bring cookies or third-party requests with it. As before: this page gets updated and the banner gets adjusted first.
