Overview
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, including local storage, can also save or retrieve information on your device.
IHMC Digital uses a necessary local-storage record to remember your cookie choice. We use Google Analytics only if you actively accept analytics cookies. Rejecting analytics will not restrict your access to this website.

Your choices
You can accept or reject analytics when the cookie message appears. The two choices are equally available, and the website continues to work if you reject analytics.
You can change your decision at any time. Rejecting analytics stops future analytics collection on this website and removes the Google Analytics cookies that the website can identify on your device. It does not undo information already collected with your previous consent.
You can also delete or block cookies using your browser settings. Blocking all browser storage may prevent the website from remembering your choice.
Google Analytics
With your consent, Google Analytics helps us understand matters such as which pages are visited, approximate location, device and browser information, and how visitors move through the website. We use this information to assess and improve the website.
The website currently sends analytics to IHMC Digital properties identified as G-7G0NMFDFPF and G-Y3T3CD438D. Advertising personalisation and Google signals are disabled in the website configuration. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses or form contents to Google Analytics.
Google acts as an analytics service provider and may process information outside the United Kingdom. Further information is available in Google’s privacy policy and Google’s explanation of Analytics cookies.
Our wider handling of personal information is explained in the IHMC Digital privacy notice.
