Cookies and your choices

This site sets a small number of cookies. Some keep it working. The rest run only if you say so, and you can change your mind at any time from the link at the bottom of any page.

What each kind does

Strictly necessary
Keeps the site working: form security, spam checks, and remembering the choice you make here.Used by: Fourth Ring, Cloudflare Turnstile
Analytics
Counts visits and shows us which parts of the page people actually read, so we can cut what nobody does. Remembers which page, ad or link brought you here, so we know what works.Used by: Google Analytics, Fourth Ring
Advertising
Used by: Fourth Ring

What we set ourselves

  • fr_consent holds the choice you made here: whether analytics and advertising are on. It lasts twelve months.
  • fr_src holds how you arrived, so we can tell which ads are worth running. It clears when you close the browser.

Information stored on your device

The numbers you type into the calculator are kept in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie, so they are still there when you come back. Clearing your browser data removes them.

If you start booking a call, the answers you type into the booking form are kept in your browser's local storage so you can pick up where you left off, and they are deleted when you book, when you choose Start over, 24 hours after you send them, or after 30 days, whichever comes first.

The vendor cookies

The exact cookie each vendor sets is being confirmed against a live install and will be listed here before launch.

Global Privacy Control

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we read it and keep advertising off before anything loads. You still see the same choice everyone else sees, with everything off until you turn something on. If you do turn something on, your choice is what we follow from then on.

Changing your mind

Use the Cookie preferences link in the footer of any page. Clearing your browser cookies also clears the choice, and we will ask again.

The rest of this policy, including the text message program, the legal entity and mailing address, and governing law, is still being written with the details it needs.
