How DanJMills uses cookies and analytics.

A plain-English explanation of cookies, analytics scripts and similar technologies used on this website.

Last updated: 27 August 2026

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device by a website. Similar technologies can include scripts, tags, pixels, local storage, device information and other tools that store information on your device or access information from it.

Some technologies are essential for a website to work. Others are used for analytics, performance, advertising or personalisation. This website does not use advertising cookies or social media tracking pixels.

What this site uses

This website is a static professional website. It uses Finitum for cookie-free website measurement and can use Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager after you allow optional analytics. It may also use third-party asset providers while temporary images are in place. The exact cookie or storage names can change if providers update their services, so this table describes the categories and purposes rather than pretending those technical names will never change.
