Google Analytics preferences
With your permission, we use Google Analytics to understand how people use our public website pages and measure actions such as enquiries, newsletter subscriptions and bookings.
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies. It remains off unless you accept analytics, and we don't use it for personalised advertising.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using Analytics preferences in the website footer. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics collection but doesn't delete information already collected.
Analytics storage and durations
We use a cookie and browser storage to remember your analytics choice for up to 180 days, whether you accept or reject analytics. Other optional analytics storage is used only after you accept.
| Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
st_analytics cookie and st-analytics-v1 browser storage | Remember whether you accept or reject analytics. | Your choice is valid for 180 days. |
Google Analytics cookies, including _ga and _ga_PT4XP6G7CF | Help Google Analytics distinguish browsers and measure website visits. | The _ga cookie expires up to 180 days after creation. The _ga_PT4XP6G7CF cookie expires up to 180 days after its latest update. |
st_analytics_receipt cookie | Confirm that a newsletter subscription was verified and whether guide delivery was initiated, for optional analytics measurement. | Up to 10 minutes; removed when used. |
st-analytics-attribution-v1 browser session storage | Remember recognised marketing campaign information or referring website domains during your visit. | Up to 30 minutes from the latest page navigation, within the browser tab session. |
st-analytics-plan browser session storage | Remember the coaching plan category you selected. | Up to 30 minutes, within the browser tab session. |
st-ga-sent browser storage entries | Help prevent the same conversion being counted repeatedly. | Up to 180 days from the recorded event, or sooner if analytics consent is withdrawn or browser storage is cleared. |
Browser settings may remove this information sooner. These durations describe storage in your browser, not how long Google retains analytics data.
You can change your analytics choice at any time. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics collection but does not erase information already collected.
