What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Websites can also use similar technologies, such as local storage, scripts and tags, to remember choices, provide features, measure how a website is used or support advertising.

The cookies we use

The table below lists the cookies in use on sdingov.net:

How these are applied

The Analytics cookies above are set automatically as soon as you load a page on this site, before you have made any choice in the cookie banner. The Advertising cookies may also be set where a visit contains relevant Google Ads click information. Choosing "Disable cookies" records that choice but does not remove Analytics or Advertising cookies already placed on your device, prevent Analytics from continuing to run on later pages, or clear the related _gcl_ls local-storage entry.

If you would prefer these cookies not be set at all, you can block or delete them at any time using your browser's cookie settings (see "Managing cookies" below).

Cookies from embedded and linked third-party content

Some pages on this site embed or link to content hosted by other providers, who may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies (which we don't control):

Third-party content and their cookies
Where Provider What it is Cookies the provider may set
"What Our Participants Say" page LinkedIn Embedded social posts __cf_bm (.linkedin.com), a short-lived bot-protection cookie
Videos page and Archive video pages Vimeo Embedded video players __cf_bm (.vimeo.com, bot protection), vuid (Vimeo's video analytics, up to 2 years, subject to browser restrictions), _dd_s (player performance monitoring, around 15 minutes)
Tickets page Eventbrite Link to our external Eventbrite ticket-sales page (not embedded; Eventbrite's cookies are governed by Eventbrite's own cookie policy and only apply if you click through to their site) Not applicable

Where third-party content is embedded, the provider controls the cookies and similar technologies used within its service, while this site controls whether the embed is loaded. Eventbrite is an external link and its technologies apply only after a visitor follows that link. See Eventbrite's cookie policy for details.

Third-party scripts

Our mailing-list signup page also loads a form-validation script from our email provider, and the signup form submits to that provider. No cookies were observed being set on our site by this script during the July 2026 review.

Google Fonts is used to deliver web fonts. Google Tag Manager is present on the site and is likely to load or coordinate the advertising technologies listed above, subject to inspection of the container. The standalone Drupal Google Analytics module is the confirmed source of the Analytics cookies observed during the audit. These services are not additional cookie names, but they remain third-party services used by the site. A local-storage entry (_gcl_ls, associated with Google's advertising conversion linker) may also be stored in the browser.

Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. Be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.
