Effective date: 3 August 2026
Authenticator
The authenticator does not deliberately store your secret, generated code, algorithm, or digit settings in cookies, local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Theme preferences may be added in a future release only if they can remain separate from secret material.
Content website
The public content website uses local storage to retain your optional-cookie
choice. Once you choose “Accept optional,” Google Analytics 4 may set
first-party cookies, including _ga, to measure page views,
sessions, approximate location, browser and device information, and how
visitors arrive at the site. If advertising is enabled, Google and its
partners may also read or write cookies and similar identifiers for ad
delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, frequency control, and—where
permitted—personalisation.
Consent management
We ask every visitor before optional analytics or advertising loads. You can change your choice through “Cookie settings” in the site footer. Rejecting optional storage does not prevent access to articles or the authenticator.
Your controls
Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Google also provides advertising controls through its Ads Settings. Blocking optional technologies may change ad relevance or measurement but should not prevent the core content from loading.
