Cookie Policy
This describes the site exactly as currently built. If you add analytics, embedded video or advertising pixels, this page must be updated before they go live.
The short version
This site sets no advertising cookies, no analytics and no tracking cookies. It sets two strictly necessary cookies so forms and the assistant work, stores a few preferences in your browser, and loads fonts from Google. That is the whole story.
Cookies
Both are strictly necessary, which under the UK's cookie rules means they do not require your consent — the site cannot function without them.
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| csrftoken | Security. Stops another website submitting our forms using your browser. | 1 year |
| sessionid | Set only when you use the AI assistant, so it can follow your conversation across messages. | Until you close the browser |
Stored in your browser, not sent to us
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| pq-consent | Local storage | Remembers your choice on the cookie notice so we stop asking | Until you clear it |
| pq-country | Local storage | Remembers the country you picked on the cost calculator | Until you clear it |
| pq-score | Local storage | Remembers your readiness-check answers so they survive a refresh | Until you clear it |
All three are local storage entries, not cookies. Unlike cookies they are never sent to our server with your requests, and we have no way of reading them. They exist only in your browser.
Third parties
- Google Fonts. Typefaces load from Google's servers. That request sends your IP address and browser details to Google. It sets no cookie, but it is a connection to a third party and you should know about it.
- Microsoft Azure OpenAI. Only if you use the AI assistant. What you type is sent to Microsoft to generate a reply. No cookie is set on your browser by them.
- Our host. [HOSTING PROVIDER] keeps standard server logs for security and diagnostics.
Turning things off
Because we set nothing that tracks you, there is little to switch off. The two cookies above are strictly necessary — blocking them breaks the forms and the assistant, but nothing else. If you choose “Essential only” on the notice, we still store your preference; that entry is what stops us asking again.
You can clear everything this site has stored at any time through your browser's settings for site data. Doing so simply resets the tools to their defaults.
