Cookie Policy

Nothing is stored before you answer the cookie bar. The two items stored afterwards are named below.

The two keys

Key	What it holds	How long
10_charlottetown_age_ok	Your answer to the age question, which stops it being asked again on this device.	Until browsing data is cleared
10_charlottetown_consent	Your accept or decline, which stops the bar returning.	Until browsing data is cleared

Strictly speaking, both items are local storage, a different thing from cookies. They stay in your browser, no other site can read them, and neither carries an identifier.

Consent Mode v2

Four Google signals are set to denied in the head of every page, before any other script runs:

• ad_storage
• ad_user_data
• ad_personalization
• analytics_storage

Every page starts from refusal. Accepting changes all four to granted, and declining leaves them as they are.

What accepting would allow

No tag is present today. If one were added, Google Analytics 4 would write _ga and _ga_<id>, lasting two years, and a Google Ads tag would write _gcl_au, lasting ninety days.

Changing the answer

Cookie settings in the footer reopens the bar on any page.

Blocking it in the browser

Chrome and Edge under Privacy and security, Firefox under Privacy & Security, Safari under Settings then Privacy. If you block storage entirely, the age question comes back on every visit.
