Providence, RI · Independent public-finance research & analytics

Cookie Policy

Last updated 1 September 2026

This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies rigfoa.org uses, and how to control them.

Our approach

No analytics or measurement cookies are set until you accept them. When the site loads, analytics storage is set to denied by default; it is only enabled if you choose Accept in the cookie banner. Declining sets no analytics identifiers at all.

What we use

NameTypePurposeDuration
rigfoa_cookie_consent_v1Strictly necessary (local storage) Records your cookie choice so we do not ask againUntil cleared
_gaAnalyticsDistinguishes visitors so we can measure how the research library is usedUp to 2 years
_ga_<id>AnalyticsMaintains session state for measurementUp to 2 years

We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not permit cross-context behavioural advertising on this site. Analytics are configured with IP anonymisation and with advertising features disabled.

Changing your choice

You can change your decision at any time.

You can also delete cookies and site data through your browser settings, and most browsers offer a setting to block cookies entirely. Blocking strictly necessary storage means the site will ask about cookies on every visit.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a decision to decline analytics and do not display the banner as an opt-in.

Changes

If we add or remove a cookie we will update the table above and the date at the top of this page.
