Cookies Policy

This page lists the cookies used on adamspierredavid.com, what each one does, and how you can block them. For everything else about your data, see the Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. The site can read it again on your next visit, for example to remember a setting or to count visitors.

Cookies set by this site

These are needed for the site to work or to remember a choice you made. They are never used to track you.

Name	What it does	How long
`csrftoken`	Protects forms against a type of attack called cross-site request forgery.	1 year
`sessionid`	Makes the contact form work and shows you messages such as "Your message has been sent".	Until you close your browser, or 1 hour without activity
`django_language`	Remembers the language you picked, if you change it.	Until you close your browser
`acceptCookies`	Remembers that you closed the cookie banner, so it doesn't show again.	1 year

Analytics cookies

I use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to see which pages people read and how they use them. These cookies are set by Google and Microsoft. Some are stored under this site's name, others under Microsoft's own domains (clarity.ms and bing.com).

Name	Set by	What it does	How long
`_ga`	Google Analytics	Gives your browser a random ID so visits can be counted.	2 years
`_ga_<ID>`	Google Analytics	Keeps track of your current visit.	2 years
`_clck`	Microsoft Clarity	Gives your browser a random Clarity ID and stores its settings.	1 year
`_clsk`	Microsoft Clarity	Links the pages you view during one visit into a single recording.	1 day
`CLID`	Microsoft Clarity	Remembers when Clarity first saw your browser on any site that uses it.	1 year
`MUID`	Microsoft	An ID Microsoft uses across its services, including Clarity.	1 year
`MR`	Microsoft	Tells Microsoft whether to refresh the MUID cookie.	7 days
`SM`	Microsoft Clarity	Helps link data between Microsoft domains during a visit.	Until you close your browser
`ANONCHK`	Microsoft	Checks whether the MUID cookie was sent.	10 minutes

Google and Microsoft may change the names or lifetimes of their cookies without notice. Their own pages are the most up to date: Google and Microsoft Clarity.

This site shows no ads and uses no advertising cookies.

How to block cookies

The analytics scripts load when you open a page. The button on the cookie banner only hides the banner; it doesn't turn them on or off. To stop them, you can:

block third-party cookies, or all cookies, in your browser settings: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge;
use a browser or extension that blocks trackers;
install Google's Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

If you block the site's own cookies, the contact form won't work, but you can still read every page.

Changes and questions

If the cookies change, I'll update this page and the date at the top. For any question, contact me.
