Analytics cookies - Google Analytics 4 and Yandex Metrica - activate only after your explicit consent in the cookie banner. Until consent is given, analytics services stay off (Google runs in Consent Mode v2 with a "denied" status).

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page. Form submissions are stored in StudyU's own protected database on the site's hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare) and are not shared with third-party form services. Along with the request we store the submission page, IP address and country - for anti-spam protection and statistics.
