Google Analytics
If you allow analytics, we use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are read. It collects the pages you view, the page that referred you, your approximate location derived from your IP address (which Google Analytics 4 does not store), your device and browser type, and a pseudonymous identifier kept in the _ga cookies.
Google Ireland Limited provides Google Analytics and acts as our processor. Google Signals and ad personalisation are turned off, and we do not use this data for advertising. Event data is kept for 14 months and then deleted automatically.
Google Analytics loads only after you allow it. Until then your browser does not contact Google for it. Once you do, your browser contacts www.googletagmanager.com and Google Analytics servers (*.google-analytics.com and *.analytics.google.com), which see your IP address and browser details, as any server does for a file it serves.
How you can manage cookies
Choose Cookie settings in the footer of any page to allow or withdraw analytics at any time. Clearing site data for clerkrow.com in your browser also resets your choice.
Changes to this policy
If we ever add an optional feature that needs a non-essential cookie, we will update this page and ask for your consent before using it.
