Cookies and analytics
One cookie is about language. NEXT_LOCALE remembers whether you read in Latvian or English so you land in the right one next time. It holds nothing but that choice, expires after a year, and your browser can clear it whenever you like. Under the ePrivacy rules a preference you set yourself is strictly necessary, so it needs no consent. The same goes for meijar_consent, which remembers your answer to the cookie prompt for six months so you aren't asked again on every page.
For a plain visitor count we use Plausible, a cookieless analytics service running on EU servers. It records the page, where you came from, and rough country-level location, stores nothing on your device, and keeps no identifier that could be traced back to you.
We also run Google Analytics 4, and that one does use cookies - _ga and a second cookie named after the property, kept for up to two years so a returning browser can be told apart from a new one. It gives us page views, the search or link that brought you here, and which pages actually get read. It does not store your full IP address, and no advertising or cross-site feature is switched on.
Because it writes to your device, Google Analytics is off until you say otherwise. Nothing is requested from Google, and no cookie is set, unless you accept the prompt that appears on your first visit - decline and the tag is never loaded at all.
Neither service is an advertising pixel. We do not retarget you, do not build audiences, and do not follow you to other websites - nor do we sell any of it.
Changed your mind? "Cookie settings" in the footer of any page clears your answer and asks again; withdrawing also deletes the Google cookies already on your device. Blocking cookies for this site in your browser works just as well, and nothing here behaves differently if you do.
