Your choice
Amidships, a trading name of The Maritime Consultancy Ltd, uses a small amount of storage so the site can sign you in and remember whether you accepted analytics. Analytics stays off until you press Accept. Reject does the same job as Accept: one tap, same size.

Analytics
If you accept, the page loads Lovable’s /~flock.js script. That script can set the session-id cookie and send page events to Tinybird. If you reject, the script is not loaded and that cookie is cleared. First-party study events inside a signed-in account are separate. They are described in the privacy policy and do not use this cookie.
Change or withdraw
Cookie settings is in the footer and at the corner of the page. Choosing Reject later clears the analytics cookie on the next load. You can also clear cookies in your browser. The site still works if you reject.
