What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Similar tools, like browser storage and web beacons, do much the same job. Some keep a site working. Others count visits or help choose ads.
What we use
The analytics and ad entries only apply on pages and in periods where we've turned those tools on. Ads appear on some guide pages only. Providers can change their cookie names and durations, so treat this table as a summary:
| Name | Provider | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| site-consent | Foundation Repair (browser storage) | Remembers your cookie choice | Until you clear it |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells visits apart so we can count them | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Keeps track of your current visit | Up to 2 years |
| __gads, __gpi | Google AdSense | Controls how often an ad appears and measures ads | Up to 13 months |
| __eoi | Google AdSense | Helps protect against ad fraud and abuse | Up to 6 months |
| IDE | Google (doubleclick.net) | Serves and measures personalized ads | Up to 13 months |
| NID | Google (google.com) | Stores ad preferences and serves personalized ads | Up to 6 months |
Google keeps its own current list in its guide to advertising cookies. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites.
Your choices
- On this site: use the banner, or change your choice at any time on our privacy choices page.
- In your browser: block or delete cookies in its settings. The site still works, and our form doesn't need cookies.
- With Google: turn off personalized ads in Google Ads Settings, or analytics with Google's opt-out add-on.
- With other vendors: opt out at aboutads.info.
Turning off personalized ads doesn't remove ads. You'll still see them, but they'll be less related to you.
