Analytics choices
Cookie Policy
We use a privacy-first consent setup: optional analytics do not load unless you select “Accept analytics.”
1. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files placed on a device by a website or service provider. Local storage is a browser feature that stores site preferences on your device. These technologies can remember choices, measure website use, and support site features.
2. Your consent preference
This website stores a value named dswest_analytics_consent_v1 in local storage to remember whether you accepted or declined optional analytics. This preference is necessary to honor your choice and does not track your activity across websites.
3. Optional Google Analytics
After you accept analytics, Google Analytics may use identifiers such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish visits and measure website use. We configure the tag for analytics measurement and disable Google signals and advertising personalization in the site code. Google may process device, browser, page, referral, interaction, and approximate-location information. Cookie duration and data retention can vary based on Google’s settings and policies.
4. Optional Microsoft Clarity
After you accept analytics, Microsoft Clarity may use first-party cookies including _clck and _clsk to connect page views and provide aggregated usage insights, heatmaps, and session replays. Depending on Microsoft’s operation and your browser, other Microsoft cookies may also be used. Form inputs are intended to remain masked from Clarity recordings.
5. Managing or changing your choice
Select “Cookie preferences” in the footer on any page to reopen the consent panel. Declining after previously accepting sends a revocation signal, removes identifiable analytics cookies that the site can access, and reloads the page without analytics tags. You can also clear cookies and site data using your browser settings.
When your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal on a first visit, optional analytics are treated as declined unless you make a different affirmative choice.

7. Updates and contact
