Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies and similar storage technologies this site uses, why, and how you can change your mind at any time. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly.

Cookies and similar technologies
"Cookies" is the everyday shorthand for a family of technologies that let a website remember something about your visit. This site doesn't rely on traditional server-set cookies for most of what it remembers — instead it uses your browser's built-in local storage, which works the same way from a privacy point of view: small pieces of information are saved on your device and read back by the site when you return. We treat local storage exactly as we would a cookie for the purposes of this policy and UK law.
Your rights under UK PECR
The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), alongside UK GDPR, set the rules for how we're allowed to ask for and act on your consent. In practice, that means:
- Equal prominence. "Accept all" and "Reject all" are presented as equally sized, equally visible buttons in our cookie banner — neither is styled to nudge you toward accepting.
- No pre-ticked boxes. Analytics and Functional cookies start switched off. We only switch them on if you actively choose to.
- Granular choice. You can accept or reject analytics and functional cookies independently of one another via "Manage preferences" — it isn't an all-or-nothing decision.
- Free to withdraw, at any time. You can change your choice whenever you like, as often as you like, using the button below.
The categories we use
We group everything the site stores into three categories.
Necessary
Always on
These keep the site working: remembering the choice you've made in the cookie banner, routing your page requests, and basic security protections. They can't be switched off because the site can't function without them, and they carry no marketing or tracking value.
Analytics
Off until you say yes
These would tell us, in aggregate, how many people visit, which pages are useful and where visitors drop off, so we can improve the site. They stay switched off until you actively choose "Accept all" or turn them on in "Manage preferences" — nothing loads before that.
Functional
Off until you say yes
These remember choices you make so you don't have to repeat them — for example, keeping your selected industry sector or your light/dark theme preference in place the next time you visit. Like analytics, they stay off until you opt in.
What's stored on your device
In plain terms, here is everything this site can save in your browser's local storage, and what each one is for. None of it is shared with third parties, and none of it identifies you personally.
- Theme preferenceia_theme
- Remembers whether you last viewed the site in light or dark mode, so it opens the same way next time.
- Sector personalisationia_sector
- Remembers which industry sector you selected (for example, healthcare or financial services), so relevant content and calls to action stay in view as you move around the site.
- Visited-before flagia_visited
- A simple marker that you have been to the site before, used only to avoid repeating first-visit prompts.
- Consent recordia_consent
- Stores the choice you made in the cookie banner — which categories you accepted — so we don’t ask you again on every page.
Managing your preferences
You can open the cookie banner again at any time — to accept, reject or change individual categories — using the button below.
You can also clear or block local storage and cookies directly from your browser's settings at any time. Doing so will reset any choices you've made here, and we'll ask for your consent again on your next visit.
Third-party services
If you opt in to Analytics, we load a single, privacy-focused analytics script (Plausible Analytics) to help us understand overall site usage. It does not load, and no data is sent to it, until you give consent. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of any kind.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we introduce a new feature that stores additional information. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated review date above.
