Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small file that your web browser will store on your computer for the website you're visiting. It's used to store some basic data across multiple sessions.

Cookies are usually used for 2 things; maintaining state within an app (like keeping you logged in) and analytics data. Because we don't have user logins and because we're pretty much an information-only website our cookie policy is really straightforward.

We do use Google Analytics, which is a product from Google that tells us some basic info about our visitors. It's all anonymous info, so we don't know who is visited, but instead we get some aggregated data about what the visitors are doing. Google need to set some cookies in order to do this.

Google Analytics sets 2 cookies on your computer. These are:

• _ga
• _ga_G3FP3QHGJN

Additionally you may notice a couple of other cookies:

• examplefiles_session
• XSRF-TOKEN

Both of these cookies are created by the framework we use to build and maintain the website. examplefiles_session is used to store information to help the site function. It's created automatically by the software we used to build the website. Because we don't use things like user logins this cookie isn't really used at all. If you inspect the value of the cookie you'll see a value there, but this is an encrypted version of an empty string. XSRF-TOKEN is there to provide protection against XSRF attacks. XSRF is a technique used by website attackers to submit forms remotely or to place content on pages that shouldn't be there. Our framework creates this cookie to prevent these attacks.

Lastly, we use Google AdSense to serve ads to you. This is the consent screen that you will have seen when you first visited the site. If you accept then AdSense will set some cookies to help it serve better and more relevant ads to you.
