Cookie Policy
Last updated 15 September 2026
This page lists everything Apron & Atlas stores on your device, what each item is for, how long it lasts, and how to change your mind. Nothing optional is placed on your device before you agree to it.
Change your choices
You can review or withdraw your consent at any time, on any page, from the "Manage cookies" link at the bottom of the site — or from here:
Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and refusing costs you nothing: every part of this site works with everything optional switched off.
Strictly necessary
These are set regardless of your choices, because without them the site cannot remember them.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
klaro | This site (first-party) | Remembers which optional tools you accepted or declined, so you are not asked again on every page. This is the cookie that records a refusal. | 12 months |
Audience measurement — off until you accept
Google Analytics 4 shows me which parts of the site are used and which are ignored — pages opened, how visitors move between them, what kind of device they are on, and how they found the site. It tells me what people do, not who they are.
Until you accept it, the Google tag is not loaded at all: nothing is requested from Google, and neither of the cookies below exists. They appear only after you have accepted. If you accept and then change your mind, the tag stops measuring immediately and both cookies are deleted — you do not have to wait for them to expire.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one browser from another, so repeat visits are not counted as new people | 2 years |
_ga_SRG6HE0TXW | Google Analytics | Holds the state of the current visit, so the pages you open are counted as one session | 2 years |
Google is a recipient of this information and processes it outside South Africa, in the United States. See the Privacy Policy for what that means, what Google is allowed to do with it, and how to object.
Session recordings and heatmaps — off until you accept
Microsoft Clarity records how people scroll and click through the site and builds heatmaps from that — a visual way of seeing where something is confusing or overlooked, alongside the numbers Google Analytics reports. It is a separate tool from Google Analytics, with its own accept/decline choice.
Until you accept it, nothing is requested from Microsoft at all and none of the cookies below exists. If you accept and then change your mind, tracking stops immediately and every cookie below is deleted.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |

_clck | Microsoft Clarity | Persists your Clarity ID and preferences, so repeat visits are attributed to the same visitor | Not published by Microsoft |
_clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Connects the pages you open into a single session recording | Not published by Microsoft |
CLID | Microsoft | Identifies the first time Clarity saw this browser, on any site that uses Clarity | Not published by Microsoft |
MUID | Microsoft | Identifies your browser across Microsoft sites generally, for analytics and other operational purposes | Not published by Microsoft |
ANONCHK, MR, SM | Microsoft | Technical flags that manage the MUID cookie above — Microsoft states this site never uses the advertising cookie these can trigger | Not published by Microsoft |
Microsoft is a recipient of this information and processes it outside South Africa, in the United States. Unlike the other tools on this page, Microsoft describes Clarity as operating under its own control rather than solely on instructions from this site — see the Privacy Policy for what that means and how to object.
What this site does not use
- No advertising, retargeting or profiling cookies. The Google tag is loaded with its advertising and personalisation features refused, and that refusal is never lifted — so nothing here feeds advertising, whether or not you accept measurement.
- No social network buttons or trackers.
- No Google Ads, no Google Tag Manager container and no Google Maps. Google Analytics does serve its tag from a
googletagmanager.comaddress, which is confusing but is simply where Google hosts it; it is the analytics tag described above and nothing more. - No embedded video and no third-party fonts — the typefaces are served from this domain.
- No cookie behind the recipes world map. It is drawn by this site as part of the page, not loaded from anyone else.
- No cookie behind the quote form. It posts your request directly and stores nothing on your device.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, under Privacy or Security. Note that deleting the klaro cookie deletes the record of your refusal, so you will be asked again on your next visit.
Changes to this page
If a new tool is ever added, it will appear on this page before it is switched on for anyone, and — unless it is strictly necessary, as the consent record above is — in the consent banner as well. The date at the top of this page changes with it.
