At a glance
- Accept cookies enables optional Google Analytics.
- Essential only keeps our Google Analytics tag off.
- Cookie settings lets you change your choice at any time.
You can read SARL event information with Essential only selected. Optional Google Analytics cookies are not required to browse the website or view registration information.
What cookies and browser storage do
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser and sent with relevant website requests. They can keep an authorized staff member signed in or help an analytics service distinguish visits.
Local storage is a separate browser feature. SARL uses it to remember your cookie choice; the browser does not automatically attach that preference to every web request. Both cookies and local storage can be removed through your browser’s site-data settings.
What your choice means
- Accept cookies: allows our Google Analytics tag to load and use analytics cookies. It also records your preference for future visits in this browser.
- Essential only: keeps our Google Analytics tag disabled. Essential sign-in functionality remains available for authorized committee members.
- Cookie settings: reopens the choice. Choosing Essential only after accepting disables further collection by our tag and removes the analytics cookies accessible to the website.
Neither choice registers a team, subscribes you to marketing emails or grants permission for advertising personalization. The Google Analytics preference does not disable hosting, security or separate Cloudflare performance measurement.
Manage cookie preferencesCookies and local storage used by SARL
| Name / type | Purpose and category | When used / duration |
|---|---|---|
sarl_staffCookie | Essential. Maintains an authorized committee sign-in session. | Set after staff sign-in. Up to one hour; cleared on sign-out. Public browsing does not require it. |
_gaCookie | Optional analytics. Helps Google Analytics distinguish browsers. | Only after Accept cookies. Configured for up to 180 days, refreshed by subsequent activity. |
_ga_8K12LT41SRCookie | Optional analytics. Maintains session information for the SARL Google Analytics property. | Only after Accept cookies. Configured for up to 180 days, refreshed by subsequent activity. |
sarl_analytics_consent_v1Local storage | Preference. Remembers whether you allowed or declined analytics. | Saved after either choice. Valid for 180 days; the stored entry remains until replaced or cleared. |
Actual cookie lifetimes can be shortened by browser privacy settings or manual deletion. Google may change the format of its cookie names. Cookie expiry does not determine when previously collected analytics reports are deleted.
What Google Analytics measures
Google Analytics helps us understand visits to public pages and improve the clarity and usefulness of event information. It processes browser and device information, analytics identifiers and website activity. Our page-view integration does not send registration form values and removes query strings and fragments from the page address it reports.
We disable advertising storage, advertising personalization and Google signals in our tag configuration. Read Google’s explanation of information collected through partner sites and our Privacy Policy.
Change or withdraw your choice
- Select Cookie settings in the footer, or use the preference link on this page.
- Choose Accept cookies to allow analytics, or Essential only to decline it.
- Your choice is saved for this browser where local storage is available. Other browsers or devices have their own settings.
Withdrawal takes effect for future collection by our tag and is synchronized with other open SARL tabs in the same browser. It does not automatically erase data already sent to Google. Contact the committee if you want to discuss information previously collected.
Why the banner may not appear
The banner normally appears when this browser has no valid saved preference. On the home page, the racing introduction may cover it until that introduction finishes. After you choose, the banner stays closed on subsequent visits while the preference remains valid.
You can always reopen Cookie settings without clearing all your browser data. After 180 days, or after the saved preference is removed, the site asks again. If storage is blocked, your choice may apply only to the current page. Content blockers or disabled JavaScript can prevent the banner or the Google tag from loading; absence of a banner is not evidence that analytics is active.
Hosting, external services and browser controls
Vercel and Cloudflare process requests to deliver and protect the website. Cloudflare’s performance measurement is separate from this GA4 cookie preference. Cloudflare describes its Web Analytics service as cookie-free; see Cloudflare Web Analytics and its Privacy Policy.
Your browser can block or delete cookies and local storage. Blocking the essential staff cookie prevents committee sign-in from persisting. Following external links takes you to services that manage their own cookies and preferences.
