Cookie policy

Body & Soul Magazine uses cookies only to count visits with Google Analytics, with your permission through the banner's Accept button.

The banner on your first visit

Accept and Reject appear in a bar at the bottom of your screen when you first visit us. The bar also includes a Cookie policy link. Google Analytics stays off until you press Accept. No cookies are set while you decide or if you choose Reject. Our pages read just the same with either choice.

Cookies set after Accept

• _ga holds a random identifier so Google Analytics can distinguish your browser from others and count you once. It lasts 2 years.
• _ga_N5P3895WFJ records your current visit in our statistics. Its lifetime is 2 years.

Both cookies belong to Google Analytics, which alone reads them; our privacy policy covers how we use and retain the statistics.

How your choice is remembered

Your browser saves your choice in its local storage as ne-consent. This record is not a cookie and is never sent to us. Clearing your browser's site data erases it.

Changing your mind

To choose again, press the button below. It opens the banner again. If you previously accepted, selecting Reject stops our statistics collection and deletes both analytics cookies from your browser.

Cookie settings

You can also block cookies or delete them through your browser's settings.
