Essential storage supports sign-in, security, language and your cookie choice. These are kept separate from optional analytics.

Separately, we count daily views of public pages without cookies or persistent visitor identifiers, regardless of your cookie choice. We do not link these counts to accounts or store IP addresses or browser information in metrics logs. View records expire after 30 days and daily summaries after 365 days. See the privacy policy for details.

Optional analytics uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to count page visits and navigation. It may collect cookie identifiers, browser and device information, and approximate location. Data is sent to Google and may be processed outside Canada. It loads only after you allow it.

Google Analytics excludes private pages and does not intentionally receive names, email addresses, post content or URL search terms. We do not use it for advertising personalization. Your choice lasts about six months in this browser. You can change it here at any time. Withdrawing stops future Google Analytics collection; it does not erase data already received by Google.
