Short version: We only use Google Analytics cookies, and only after you give consent. You can change your mind at any time.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, like your preferences or which pages you viewed.
2. What cookies we use
We use only analytics cookies. We do not use advertising, tracking, or social media cookies.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |

3. How we use analytics data
Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use the Memories website — which pages are most visited, how long people stay, and where they come from. This data is aggregated and anonymised; we cannot identify individual users from it.
We have enabled IP anonymisation in our Google Analytics configuration, so your full IP address is never stored.
4. Your choices
When you first visit the site, a banner will ask for your consent before we activate analytics cookies. You can:
- Accept — analytics cookies will be enabled.
- Decline — no analytics cookies will be set. The website will work exactly the same.
- Change your mind — click "Cookie preferences" in the footer at any time to update your choice.
You can also manage or delete cookies directly in your browser settings. Visit aboutcookies.org for guidance on how to do this for all major browsers.
5. Third-party cookies
Google Analytics cookies are set by Google. Their use of your data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. We will update the "last updated" date at the top of the page when we do.
