Cookies and how visits are measured

Page visits are counted with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies, and also measured with Google Analytics. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device (named _ga and _ga_ followed by a stream id) so returning visits are recognised as the same session. It records which pages are opened, roughly where in the world the visit came from, and what kind of device was used. It also records what visitors do on the site: calendar files, giving links, links to Church Center, links to the church app, links to the church records portal, links to our social media pages, video links, map and directions links, email and phone links (the kind of link only, never the address), whether a form is seen, used or sent (never what is typed into it), the words typed into the site search (left out if they look like an email address or phone number), how far down an article is read and for how long, pages that could not be found and errors in the site’s own scripts. Names, email addresses and anything typed into a form are never sent. It is not used for advertising, and the data is not sold or shared beyond Google's own processing. These are the only cookies this site sets.

You can block these cookies in your browser settings, with any tracker-blocking extension, or with Google's Analytics opt-out add-on, and the site will work exactly the same. Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services.

Google Search

The church uses Google Search Console to see how this site appears in Google search results: which searches show it and how often it is chosen. Search Console works from Google's own search data. It sets nothing on your device and adds nothing to this site.
