Cookie policy

A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations we may only set cookies that are strictly necessary without asking you first. Everything else needs your consent.
What this site sets
This site uses Google Analytics to count visits, see which pages get read, and count a few actions: sending an enquiry or one of the tools' reply forms, tapping the phone number or email address, and using one of the free tools. It sets no analytics cookies, and requests nothing from Google, unless you accept on the cookie banner. If you reject, or simply never answer, the analytics script does not load and no cookie is set. There is nothing else: no advertising cookies, no social media trackers, and no cross-site tracking of any kind.
If you accept, Google Analytics sets these two cookies:
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Cookie | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Tells one visitor apart from another, using a random identifier rather than anything about you | 2 years |
_ga_50Z1TWR2KL | Remembers that your current visit is one visit, so ten pages read as one session rather than ten visitors | 2 years |
Your answer to the banner itself is kept in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie, under the name jj-consent. Remembering your choice is strictly necessary, needs no consent, and is the only way to avoid asking you on every page. It stays until you change your choice or clear your browser data.
The content editor at /admin
This site carries its own content editor for our staff, at /admin. Simply visiting that address sets nothing. Signing in to it does: the editor keeps an authentication token in the browser so the person stays signed in, and Sanity, the service the editor is built on, sets its own sign-in cookies. These exist only for a signed-in administrator, are strictly necessary for the editor to work at all, and are never set by reading any page of this website. If you are not on our staff, nothing in this section applies to you.
Changing your mind
You can reopen the banner and choose again whenever you like. Accepting starts analytics from that moment. Rejecting stops it from that moment; you can also delete the two cookies above in your browser settings, and nothing on this site will miss them.
Video on case study pages
A case study page may offer a video. No video is embedded by default: until you press play the page shows a still image held on this site, and nothing is requested from YouTube or any other Google service. If you choose to play it, the video is loaded from YouTube at that point, and YouTube may set cookies on your device. That is your decision, and declining it costs you nothing else on the page.
Controlling cookies
You can also block or delete cookies for any site in your browser settings. Every major browser lets you do this, and doing so will not stop this site working.
