01What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. We also use similar technology such as your browser's local and session storage. Together we call these "cookies" here. They let a site work properly, keep you signed in, and help us understand how the site is used.
02Our approach
We keep cookies to a minimum. We use only what is needed to run the site securely, plus privacy-friendly analytics. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
03Cookies and storage we use
Strictly necessary (always on, the site cannot work properly without them):
- Your cookie choice, stored in your browser's local storage so we remember your preference and do not ask again.
- Page transitions and your draft brief, kept in your browser's session storage while you browse, so moving between pages is seamless and a half-written project brief is not lost. Both are cleared when you close the tab.
- Session cookies for the client portal, which keep you securely signed in while you use it.
Analytics (helps us improve the site):
- Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-first and cookieless. It does not set cookies, does not track you across sites and does not collect personal data. It gives us only aggregate figures such as page views.
If we ever add analytics or other tools that do set non-essential cookies, we will only load them after you accept, and we will list them here first.
04Managing your choice
When you first visit, our banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time using , also in the footer of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but blocking essential storage may stop parts of the site, such as signing in or keeping your brief, from working.
05Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. The latest version is always published here, with the date it last changed shown at the top.
