Cookie policy
Everything this site can write to your device is listed below. Decline analytics and the second table never happens — no cookie is set, and the site counts you anonymously instead.
Always present
These hold choices you made and cannot be switched off, because switching them off would mean forgetting the choice. None of them identify you or leave your browser.
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ta-consent | localStorage | theodorosampas.com | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so you are not asked again. | Until you clear it |
ta-theme | localStorage | theodorosampas.com | Keeps the light or dark theme you chose. | Until you clear it |
ta-lang | localStorage | theodorosampas.com | Keeps the reading language you chose. | Until you clear it |
__ph_opt_in_out_* | localStorage | PostHog | PostHog’s own record that you declined, so it keeps honouring the refusal on later visits. | Until you clear it |
Only after you accept
None of these exist unless you accept analytics. Withdrawing consent stops them being written and clears what is already there.
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ta-attribution | localStorage | theodorosampas.com | Records which link or campaign brought you here, so a later newsletter signup can be attributed to it. | Until you clear it |
audit_utms | sessionStorage | theodorosampas.com | Carries campaign tags across the pages of one visit so an enquiry can be attributed. | Until the tab closes |
ph_*_posthog | cookie | PostHog | Recognises your browser across visits so page views and article scroll depth join into one session. | 12 months |
_clck, _clsk | cookie | Microsoft Clarity | Links session recordings and heatmap interactions to one visit. | Up to 12 months |
Changing your mind
Use the cookie settings link in the footer of any page. The banner reappears and your new answer takes effect immediately — you do not have to reload.
Browser-level controls
Every major browser can block or delete cookies and site data for a specific site, independently of anything on this page. Doing so also removes the record of your consent choice, so the banner will ask again on your next visit.
The privacy notice covers everything else, including form submissions and your rights.
