Your region. Your choice.
For visitors identified as being in the United States, basic Google Analytics 4 is on by default unless you opt out or use Global Privacy Control. In other or unknown regions, it loads only after you choose Accept all or enable Analytics in Cookie preferences. It measures page visits and basic device and session information to help improve the site. Advertising features are disabled. Public guides do not require an account.
Choose Reject all to browse without Google Analytics. Withdraw consent here at any time; we stop analytics, remove its cookies and reload the page. Global Privacy Control keeps analytics off. We do not send search queries, form contents or download signatures to Google. We send referring website origins and a limited set of recognized campaign source and medium values.

Optional page statistics help us improve the website. Advertising features are disabled.
No preference has been saved. Analytics is off until you allow it.
When configured, PostHog follows the same analytics choice and regional rules. Our server forwards only allowlisted public page paths, controlled events and a random visit identifier. We do not forward your IP address, browser headers, search text, URL queries, page contents, or workspace activity. Session replay and automatic form capture are not enabled. Reject all also stops PostHog collection. See the PostHog privacy policy.
Browser storage inventory
| Name / type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| permitanswers.analytics.internal.v1 First-party local storage | Only when an internal tester explicitly excludes this browser: prevents its visits from being sent to analytics. Contains no personal identifier. | Until the exclusion is removed or browser storage is cleared. |
| permitanswers.posthog.visit.v1 First-party session storage | When PostHog is configured and analytics is enabled: a random identifier and last-activity time for this tab. Not linked to an account or another site. | Expires after 30 minutes of inactivity or 24 hours in total, ends when the tab closes, and is removed when analytics is turned off. |
| permitanswers.research.v1 First-party local storage | Only when you choose Save research: one project, city/pathway, property reference, findings, task roles, dates and evidence links. Editable exports are saved to your device and shared only by you. | Until you delete saved research or clear browser storage. Downloaded files must be deleted separately. |
| permitanswers.projects.v1 First-party local storage | Only when you select Save: project nickname, role, city, property category, selected work and preparation progress. Up to 20 projects; no server sync. | Until you delete a saved project in the workspace or clear browser storage. |
| permitanswers.privacy.v1 First-party local storage | Remembers your analytics or essential-only choice when you select Save. Contains the policy version, choice and save time; no personal identifier. | Preference valid for 180 days; removable using the control above or browser settings. |
| _ga, _ga_* First-party cookies, Google Analytics | When analytics is enabled: distinguish browsers and maintain session statistics. | Up to 180 days; removed when you withdraw consent here. |
Local storage is different from a cookie: it stays in your browser and is not automatically sent with website requests. Expired preferences are ignored; the stored value remains until cleared or replaced.
Google processes analytics information, which may be processed outside your country. Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy and our Privacy policy. Blocking analytics does not affect site features.
Searches, links and infrastructure
Search terms and comparison selections can appear in page URLs, browser history and standard infrastructure logs. Use project or jurisdiction terms, not a full street address or sensitive records. Our Privacy policy explains information handling.
Following an official source or application link takes you to another operator’s website. Its own cookies and policies apply. Your preference here does not control other websites.
If our practices change
We will update this inventory and provide the required choices before introducing additional optional tracking. Your current choice does not authorize future advertising tools.
