What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be essential for basic functions or used to understand how the site is used.

How we use cookies

We use essential cookies to remember your cookie preference and keep basic site functions working. If you accept optional analytics cookies, we may use them to understand aggregate visit patterns. Rejecting optional cookies does not block access to assessments information, field notes, or the contact form.

Managing or disabling cookies

On first visit you can Accept or Reject optional cookies via the banner. Your choice is stored under the brand-prefixed key appintegration_cookie_consent. You can clear site data in your browser to see the banner again. Browser settings also let you block cookies entirely; essential preference storage may then reset on each visit.

Third-party cookies

Embedded fonts from Google Fonts may cause your browser to request resources from Google’s domains. Those requests are governed by Google’s policies. We do not embed third-party advertising cookies.

Impact of disabling

Disabling optional analytics cookies has no effect on reading content or submitting a briefing request. Blocking all storage may prevent us from remembering your cookie choice, so the banner may reappear.
