Cookies
Every cookie this site can set, what it does, and how long it lasts.
We set very few cookies ourselves. Most of what is listed here comes from advertising, and only after you agree to it.
Set by us
| Name | Purpose | Type | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
bq-theme |
Remembers light or dark mode | Local storage | Until you clear it |
bq-saved |

bq-anchor |
Remembers you dismissed a bottom advert | Session storage | Until you close the tab |
None of these are transmitted to us. They are read by your browser and never sent anywhere.
Analytics
Cloudflare Web Analytics — no cookies at all. It counts page views without identifying anyone, and it runs for every visitor.
Google Analytics 4 — sets cookies. In the EEA and UK it loads only after you
consent. Until then, Consent Mode v2 holds analytics_storage and every
advertising signal at denied, so nothing is written to your device. If you
decline, GA4 does not run for you at all and nothing on the site stops working.
Advertising
Google AdSense may set cookies for ad delivery, frequency capping and measurement. In the EEA and UK these load only after you consent. Details of every vendor are shown inside the consent tool itself.
Changing your mind
There is nothing to change yet — this site currently loads no analytics or advertising cookies at all, so no choice has been stored. This control becomes active if that changes.
If that button does nothing, you are outside a region where we run the consent tool, and no advertising cookies were set by choice-gated vendors.
