Cookie Policy

1.What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website can store on your device. They are used to make a site work, to keep you signed in, and, on many sites, to track you for advertising. We use them only for the first two, and not for the third.

2.Our approach

We do not use cookies to profile you or to advertise, and we do not sell data about your browsing. We use the minimum needed to run the service securely, and analytics that measure traffic without cookies and without identifying you.

3.Essential cookies

These are needed for the site and the app to work, so they are always on. Because they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for, they do not require consent under UK law. They include:

Authentication and session

Keep you securely signed in to your account as you move between pages, and support sign-in itself. Set by our authentication provider.

Security

Help protect against fraud and abuse, and keep the connection secure. Some are set by Cloudflare, which serves and protects the site.

Preferences

Remember basic choices you make, such as staying signed in, so the service behaves the way you expect.

Your cookie choice

A cookie named cc_consent remembers whether you said yes or no to analytics, on this site and in the app, so you are asked once. It lasts a year, then we ask again.

4.Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages are useful, so we can improve the site and the app. It is privacy-first by design: it does not use cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not track you across other websites. It reports on aggregate traffic, not on identifiable individuals. We run it as statistics under the UK's exception for statistical purposes, so it is on by default, and you can switch it off at any time, here or in "Cookie settings" at the foot of every page. Switching it off sets one small cookie,cc_stats, so we remember not to load it, on this site and in the app.

Inside the app, we count the steps people take (signing up, finishing an interview, writing a letter, paying) from our own account records, not from your browser, so no cookie or tracker is involved.

Google Analytics, only if you say yes. With your permission we also use Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to see how people move through the site and the app (for example which pages lead to a sign-up). It sets two cookies, _ga and_ga_ followed by our property's code, and each lasts up to two years. Until you press "Accept analytics" on our banner, Google's consent mode keeps them switched off.

You can change your mind at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the foot of every page. Advertising storage stays off whatever you choose: we do not run advertising cookies.

5.What we do not use

• No advertising or marketing cookies.
• No cross-site or third-party tracking cookies (Google Analytics runs only with your consent, as above).
• No social media tracking pixels.
• No selling of your data to data brokers or advertisers.

6.Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and set your browser to warn you or block them. Because we only use essential cookies, blocking them may stop you signing in or using parts of the service, but you will not miss out on any advertising choices, because there are none to make.

7.Changes to this policy

If we ever change what we use, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above, and if a change ever required your consent we would ask for it first.
