What this site keeps in your browser, and why.

Kept for a year.

messages

Carries a notice over to the next page, such as the one saying your password was changed.

Kept until the notice is shown.

Google Analytics

If you agree, the site counts your visit with Google Analytics, to see which pages people use. It runs with Google signals and ad personalisation off. Until you agree nothing is loaded from Google, and if you decline nothing ever is.

Google describes what it does with the data on its own page.

Kept for six months.

_ga_ZJGDVRHBTR

Set by Google Analytics, only once you agree: keeps track of the visit in progress.
