Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Cookies store small amounts of information in your browser. This page explains this website’s preference cookie and optional Microsoft Clarity analytics. Read the Privacy Policy for the wider use of personal information.
Your current choice
Optional analytics stay off unless you accept them.
Essential preference storage
ncmc_cookie_preferences is a first-party cookie used only to remember your analytics choice, the preference version and the time the choice was saved. It expires after 180 days. It is not used for advertising or measuring your browsing. Hosting and security infrastructure may use additional necessary storage; contact Nancy if you need information about the live hosting setup.
Optional Microsoft Clarity analytics
Clarity helps explain how pages are used through interaction metrics, heatmaps and session replays. It can record clicks, scrolling, pointer activity, page views and technical/browser details. It uses pseudonymous identifiers to connect activity. This website loads the Clarity tag only after you accept analytics. It does not load Clarity’s cookieless mode when you decline. Advertising consent remains denied.
| Cookie | Purpose | Provider/type |
|---|---|---|
| _clck | Recognises a browser and retains Clarity preferences for this site. | Microsoft; first-party |
| _clsk | Groups page views into a session for replay. | Microsoft; first-party |
| CLID | Recognises an initial visit across sites using Clarity. | Microsoft; third-party |
| ANONCHK | Records a Microsoft identifier-transfer flag. | Microsoft; third-party |
| MR | Indicates when Microsoft’s identifier should be refreshed. | Microsoft; third-party |
| MUID | Identifies a browser for Microsoft services, including analytics and other purposes described by Microsoft. | Microsoft; third-party |
| SM | Coordinates Microsoft identifiers across domains. | Microsoft; third-party |
Not every cookie is set on every visit. Actual use and expiry depend on Microsoft’s implementation, your consent, browser settings and existing Microsoft cookies. Microsoft controls its cookie lifetimes. You can inspect each cookie’s expiry in your browser; see Microsoft’s current cookie information and Privacy Statement for provider details.
Changing or withdrawing consent
Choose Accept analytics or Reject analytics in the banner, or open Cookie settings in the footer. Both choices leave the website’s content and contact links available. Preferences last up to 180 days; after that, the site asks again. Clearing browser cookies may also cause the banner to reappear.
Withdrawing consent sends a denied consent signal, removes accessible first-party Clarity cookies and reloads the page so the recorder no longer runs. Cookies set on Microsoft’s own domains cannot be removed by this site; use your browser’s cookie controls to delete those. Data already collected follows the applicable retention rules.
Browser privacy signals
This implementation respects Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track by keeping optional analytics disabled. While such a signal is active, the analytics acceptance control is disabled. Your browser can also block or delete cookies directly.
