This page lists every cookie and piece of browser storage used on alexistarantos.com, who sets it and why. Analytics stays off until you accept it.
What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of data a website stores in your browser. Browsers also offer local storage, which does the same job for this purpose. This page covers both.
What this site uses
Before you choose, the site sets no cookies. It only saves your cookie choice in your browser's local storage, so it can remember the choice on your next visit. Analytics cookies are set only after you accept them.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | How long | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cc_cookie | This site (consent banner, local storage) | Remembers your cookie choice. | Until you clear your browser data | Not needed |
| _ga, _ga_ followed by the container ID | Google Analytics, through Google Tag Manager | Tells visits apart and counts which pages are read. | Up to 2 years | Only after you accept |
| ph_ followed by the project key and _posthog | PostHog, in your browser's local storage | Tells visits apart and counts which pages are read. | Until you clear your browser data | Only after you accept |
Your choices
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics. You can accept, reject, or open the preferences.
You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. If you reject analytics, the analytics cookies stop being used and Google Tag Manager receives a denied consent signal.
You can also delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. The banner will then ask again.
Analytics
If you accept, the site uses Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, and PostHog. Both count visits and show which pages are read, so I can see what works and what does not. Google and PostHog receive data about your visit, such as the pages you view and your approximate location.
The site does not use advertising or marketing cookies.
Contact form
The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to keep spam bots out. It loads from challenges.cloudflare.com when the form is shown and may use your browser's storage to tell people from bots. It is not used for tracking or advertising.
Fonts and other resources
Fonts, icons and scripts are served from this site's own domain, so loading them does not contact other companies.

Changes
When the cookies used on the site change, I update this page and the date at the top.
