Cookie Policy
Last updated: 21 August 2026
1. What we don't use
We don't run Google Analytics, Facebook/Meta Pixel, or any other analytics or advertising tracking on this website. We don't use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we don't share browsing data with ad networks.
2. What we do use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
hi_newsletter_status |
Browser local storage (not a cookie) | Remembers that you've already subscribed, so we don't show the pop-up again. | Until you clear your browser data |
hi_newsletter_snooze_until |
Browser local storage (not a cookie) | Remembers that you closed the pop-up without subscribing, so we don't show it again too soon. | 30 days |
Local storage is similar to a cookie in spirit — it's a small piece of data your browser keeps — but it's stored only on your device, isn't sent to us automatically with every request the way cookies are, and isn't used to track you across other websites.
3. Third-party resources
This page loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com), which involves your browser making a request to Google's servers and sharing your IP address with them, purely to display our chosen typefaces correctly. This is a standard, low-risk technical dependency used by most modern websites, and Google Fonts does not set tracking cookies through this method.
Our contact form sends data to Formspree (formspree.io) to process your enquiry, and our "Book a Strategy Call" link takes you to Calendly (calendly.com) — both are separate websites with their own cookie and privacy practices, which we don't control.
4. Managing browser storage
You can clear local storage at any time through your browser's settings (usually under "Privacy" or "Clear browsing data"). Doing so simply means our newsletter pop-up may appear again on your next visit.
For more on how we handle personal data generally, see our Privacy Policy.
