About this cookie policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, whether this website uses them, and the small number of third-party services the site relies on. For how we handle personal data more generally, see our Privacy Policy.
Our approach in short
This website keeps tracking to a minimum. It sets only the essential cookies needed to work, and uses our own privacy-first analytics that is cookieless by default: before you consent it stores no cookies, uses only a temporary in-tab identifier and an anonymised IP address, and it respects your browser’s “Do Not Track” setting. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Some pages also embed third-party content (our live LinkedIn feed and YouTube videos) which can set optional cookies. Optional cookies, and the fuller analytics described below, are only enabled once you accept them. When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you choose “Accept all” or “Necessary only”, and you can change your choice at any time.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device when you visit. They are commonly used to make a site work, remember your preferences, keep it secure, or measure how it is used.
Cookies this website uses
We group cookies into the categories below. We use our own privacy-first analytics rather than third-party advertising tools such as Google Analytics or the Meta (Facebook) pixel, and we do not track you across other websites. Your consent choice itself is remembered in your browser’s local storage (not a cookie), so we can honour it on future visits.
- Essential: needed for the site to function and to remember your cookie choice. These are always on and require no consent.
- Analytics (first-party): our own analytics, on every page. Before you consent it runs cookieless (i.e. no cookies), only a temporary in-tab identifier and an anonymised IP address, and your browser’s “Do Not Track” setting is honoured. If you accept, it may set cookies and link activity to you (for example, to the email address you provide when you submit a form) so we can understand and improve how the site is used. See “Beacon analytics” below.
- Optional - embedded content: set only if you accept. When a page containing our LinkedIn feed loads after you have accepted, the provider may set cookies on your device to deliver, secure and measure engagement with that content. If you decline, the feed is not loaded and no such cookies are set.
Third-party services we load
To provide the site we rely on a small number of external services:
- Beacon analytics (beacon-broker-platform.vercel.app): our own web analytics, loaded on every page. By default it is cookieless (i.e. no cookies), it stores no cookies and uses only a temporary in-tab identifier and an anonymised IP address, and it honours “Do Not Track”. If you accept analytics/optional cookies it may set cookies and, when you submit a form, associate your activity with the email address you provide, so we can measure and improve the site. Any company-level matching uses email domain only; we do not use reverse-IP data brokers.
- Google Fonts: our pages load typefaces from Google’s font servers (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). This sets no cookies, but your device’s IP address is necessarily shared with Google in order to deliver the fonts.
- Contact form (Formspree): if, and only if, you submit an enquiry through our contact or review form, the details you enter are sent to Formspree, which forwards the message to us. No cookies are set on your device when the page loads.
- LinkedIn feed (SociableKit & LinkedIn): our Media & Insights page can display our latest LinkedIn posts through a widget provided by SociableKit, which shows content from LinkedIn. This is optional content: it only loads after you accept optional cookies, at which point SociableKit and LinkedIn may set their own cookies. If you choose “Necessary only”, the feed is not loaded and you can view our posts on LinkedIn directly instead.
- YouTube video gallery (Jotform): our Media & Insights page displays our latest YouTube videos through a gallery widget provided by Jotform (jotform.com), which shows content from our YouTube channel. Delivering the gallery loads a script from Jotform and necessarily shares your device’s IP address with Jotform, but it sets no cookies on your device when the page loads. If you choose to watch a video, you are taken to YouTube, where YouTube’s own cookie and privacy policies then apply.
- Outbound links: some pages link to our profile on LinkedIn and other external sites. When you follow such a link you leave our site, and the destination’s own cookie and privacy policies then apply.
Changing your choice
You can change your mind whenever you like. To review or update your preference, reopen the cookie settings and choose again. Your selection is stored only in your browser, so if you use a different browser or device, or clear your browser storage, you will be asked again on your next visit.
Managing cookies in your browser
Separately from the choice on our banner, you can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies may affect how some websites work; on this site it would only affect the optional embedded content described above.
