Cookies are small files a website can store in your browser to remember something between visits — like whether you've already seen a particular banner, or anonymous stats about how people use a site.
collinstein.com uses one thing: Google Analytics, which sets a small number of cookies (typically named things like _ga and _ga_<container-id>) to count visits and understand which pages get used. These are only set after you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. If you click "Reject" or simply don't respond, none of these cookies are set, and no analytics data is collected about your visit.
Separately, this site stores one small piece of information in your browser's local storage (not a cookie, technically, but similar in spirit) to remember whether you accepted or rejected cookies, so the banner doesn't reappear on every visit. It also remembers if you've switched the site to dark mode. Neither of these are shared with anyone.
If you accepted cookies and want to withdraw that later, clear your browser's site data/local storage for collinstein.com, or use your browser's cookie settings to block Google Analytics cookies directly. The banner will reappear on your next visit and you can choose again.
Google Analytics is operated by Google, and its use of data is governed by Google's own privacy policy. This site doesn't run any advertising cookies, and no third-party trackers are loaded beyond Google Analytics.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies from their settings menu. Blocking cookies entirely won't stop you from using this site — the only thing that changes is that Google Analytics won't be able to collect usage data.
