COOKIES

Like most websites, GAR uses cookies. In our case, we only use the bare minimum necessary for website functions (for example, recording that you are signed in and are therefore allowed access to your personal dashboard). We do some basic tracking related to visits which is both helpful in understanding generally how the site is used and sometimes signals technical issues. None of this information is personal. The tracking information just gives us information on the types of devices and browsers being used which is useful to know as we try to ensure that the site works properly across devices.

You can restrict, block or delete cookies by changing your browser settings but that may mean that the website won't work properly, especially for things like signing in and accessing your custom pages and settings.
