Cookie Policy

The cookies mbseeley.com uses, what each one does and how to change your choice. Last updated 5 October 2026.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your phone, tablet or computer. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help the site owner see how the site is used. A website can also keep small amounts of information in your browser's storage, and we cover that here too.

How we use cookies

This site uses very few cookies. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not track you across other websites.

Necessary cookies are always on, because the site needs them.
Analytics cookies are off unless you switch them on.

Necessary cookies

These do not need your consent because the site cannot work properly without them.

cookiez-user-consent. Set by our cookie banner. It remembers the choice you made so we do not ask you on every page. It lasts 180 days.
wpEmojiSettingsSupports. Set by WordPress, the software this site runs on, in your browser's session storage. It records whether your browser can display emoji. It holds no personal information and is cleared when you close the tab.
Security check. Our hosting provider, SiteGround, may set a short-lived cookie if it needs to check that a visit is not from an automated bot.
WordPress login cookies. These are set only for our own staff when they log in to manage the site. Visitors do not receive them.

Analytics cookies

These are set only if you choose Accept All, or switch on analytics in the cookie settings. We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. The reports show totals and trends. They do not tell us who you are.

_ga. Set by Google Analytics. It tells one visitor from another. It lasts up to 2 years.
_ga_11KL3R12NM. Set by Google Analytics. It keeps track of your visit. It lasts up to 2 years.

Changing your choice

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. Open cookie settings, or use the round Cookies button in the corner of any page.
