Cookies
Last updated: 20 October 2026
This site uses cookies and similar technologies, including your browser’s local storage. We group them as follows.
| Category | Set by | Purpose | Consent? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | this site | core functionality, security, and remembering your consent choice (stored in local storage) | No (exempt) |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 | understand site usage in aggregate | Yes |
The specific items we use:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pc-analytics-consent | First-party | Remembers your analytics consent choice (stored in local storage, not a cookie) | Until cleared | Strictly necessary |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users | ~13 months | Analytics (consent required) |
| _ga_5KELPQZYJQ | Google Analytics | Maintains GA4 session state | ~13 months | Analytics (consent required) |
All first-party items are set on .pontecollective.com with SameSite=Lax and the Secure flag. The two _ga* items are set only after you consent; we set no advertising or identity cookies, and ad-related storage stays denied.
We link out to external platforms (Medium, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and Substack) rather than embedding their content, so no third-party social cookies are set on this site.
Your choice. On your first visit, a consent banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies — rejecting is as easy as accepting, and analytics load nothing until you choose. You can change your choice at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
