Cookie Policy

The short version

This site uses no marketing cookies, no advertising cookies and no cross-site trackers. We use a small number of essential and privacy-friendly tools to make the site work and to count visits anonymously.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make sites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners.

What we use

• Essential storage: Local browser storage used by some interactive tools (for example, to save progress on our scoping forms or quiz). This data stays on your device.
• Privacy-friendly analytics: We use a cookieless analytics script that records anonymised page views, referrers and approximate region. It does not set tracking cookies, does not fingerprint your device and cannot identify individual visitors.
• Embedded fonts: Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts to render our typography. Google may log the request IP for service operation. No cookies are set by this.

What we do not use

• No Google Analytics tracking cookies.
• No Facebook, LinkedIn or other ad-platform pixels.
• No remarketing or behavioural advertising.
• No cross-site or third-party tracking.

Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Because we only use essential and anonymous technologies, blocking them should not prevent you from using the site, though some interactive tools may not remember your progress.
