Gazette · Cookies

Small records in the browser

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file a site asks your browser to keep. Some cookies are needed for the page to remember a choice. Others count visits. This gazette is a set of static pages; it does not log you into an account.

Types we use

Essential. The cookie-choice record is stored in localStorage under the key toolkitwork_cookie_consent after you Accept or Reject. That record is not a third-party cookie. It exists so the banner does not return on every page load. Rejecting does not close the studies, the fieldwork page, or the enquiry form.

Analytics. We do not set an analytics cookie unless you have accepted and we later add a simple visit count. If that count is added, this table will name it. Until then, no analytics cookie is placed.

How to manage or disable

Use Accept or Reject on the banner. You may also clear stored data for toolkitwork.digital in your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies for a single site. Blocking all cookies may also clear the banner choice, so the banner can appear again; the rest of the gazette still opens.

Third-party cookies

The typefaces are requested from Google Fonts. That request may allow Google to see that a browser asked for those files. It is not a Toolkit Work analytics cookie. If you prefer not to request typefaces from Google, your browser’s tracker settings can block that domain; the pages still read, in a plainer type.

Images are loaded from Unsplash and Pexels. Those providers may see a request for the picture. We do not place their widgets or share enquiry forms with them.

Impact of disabling

Refuse, or block cookies, and you still read the studies, send an enquiry, and ring the desk. You will not lose a “logged-in” state because there is none. The only convenience you lose is the banner staying hidden, and any future visit count if we add one after an Accept.
