Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how I use cookies and similar technologies on this website.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies can also store or access information on a device. They can be necessary for a site to function, help remember a choice or help understand how a site is used.

How this website uses them

The website separates technologies into the following categories.

Strictly necessary

These technologies are needed for the website to operate securely and for features you request to work. They may support hosting, security, load balancing, consent-preference storage or form delivery. They cannot be switched off through the website’s cookie settings, but you can control them through your browser. Doing so may affect how the website works.

Analytics

Analytics technologies help me understand how people use the website, such as which pages are visited, whether important routes are working and where an experience may need improvement. They are not set until you actively choose to allow analytics cookies.

These are the tools that run on this website, and the cookies each one sets. Nothing in this list loads until you allow its category, and each category can be allowed separately through Cookie settings.

Cookie	Expires	What it does
`_ga`	2 years	Tells one visitor apart from another.
`_ga_2CB48276HY`	2 years	Keeps track of a single visit.

Microsoft Clarity Statistics

Provided by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft's advertising cookies are switched off for this site, so recordings are not used to target advertising.

Cookie	Expires	What it does
`_clck`	1 year	Remembers this browser between visits.
`_clsk`	1 day	Joins the pages of one visit together.
`CLID`	1 year	Set by Microsoft to recognise this browser.

HubSpot Marketing

Provided by HubSpot, Inc.. This is the one that connects what you read on the site to an enquiry you later send, so it is treated as marketing rather than statistics.

Cookie	Expires	What it does
`hubspotutk`	6 months	Recognises this browser so a later enquiry can be matched to it.
`__hstc`	6 months	Records when you first and last visited, and how many times.
`__hssc`	30 minutes	Counts the pages in one visit.
`__hssrc`	Until you close the browser	Notes whether this is a new browser session.

If you later turn a category off through Cookie settings, collection stops and the cookies listed above are deleted.

Marketing and personalisation

The website does not use advertising or personalisation cookies. The analytics described above runs with Google’s advertising signals switched off, so the data is not used to build advertising profiles or to target you elsewhere.

If that ever changes, this policy and the consent choices will be updated before the technology is used, and you will be asked again.

Managing your choices

When you first visit the website, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies and manage your preferences. You can change your decision at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.

You can also remove or block cookies through your browser settings. Browser controls may not stop all similar technologies, and blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

Third-party technologies and embedded content

Third-party services may set their own cookies when you choose to use an embedded service or follow a link to it.

This website uses Cal.com to handle call bookings. The calendar does not load when a page opens. It loads only when you choose to open it, either by selecting Book a call or by selecting Show available times on the contact page. Until you do, no Cal.com script runs and no Cal.com cookie is set.

Once you open the calendar, Cal.com may set cookies needed to run the booking, and the details you enter to book a call are handled by Cal.com as well as by me. Their privacy notice explains what they collect.

No other embedded services are in use. The website will not add a new non-essential embed until its privacy and consent impact has been considered.

Changes to this policy

This policy will be reviewed whenever the website adds, removes or changes a technology. The latest version will appear on this page.

For more information about how personal information is handled, read the Privacy Policy.
