Last updated: 1 August 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Dogwood Way Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies on sitedogwoodway.click. For broader data handling practices, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, maintain security, and — if you consent — understand how visitors use pages.
2. How we use cookies
We use essential cookies required for site operation and optional analytics cookies to understand readership of our IR journal and commission pages. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
3. Cookie categories
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features such as cookie consent memory.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand which journal entries and commission pages visitors read. They are set only if you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. Rejecting analytics cookies does not affect site functionality.

5. Managing cookies
When you first visit our site, a banner offers Accept and Reject buttons for analytics cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing site data in your browser and revisiting the site, or by adjusting browser settings to block cookies.
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through settings menus. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
6. Third-party cookies
Analytics cookies, when enabled, are set by Google Analytics. Google's use of data is governed by Google's privacy policy. We configure analytics to anonymise IP addresses where supported.
7. Impact of disabling cookies
Disabling essential cookies may prevent the site from remembering your cookie preference, causing the banner to reappear on each visit. Disabling analytics cookies has no impact on commission brief submission or browsing commission pages.
