What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They — along with similar technologies such as localStorage — let a site remember things between visits. Some are essential; most are not.
Categories used on this site
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Retention | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Site security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices. | gjp.cookie-consent.v1 (this site), session integrity cookies | Up to 12 months | Legitimate interest / contractual necessity — no consent required. |
| Preferences | Remember language, theme, and other personalisation. | theme, locale | Up to 12 months | Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Analytics | Aggregated, IP-anonymised stats about pages and performance, plus anonymised heatmaps and session replays of how pages are used (Microsoft Clarity). Everything typed into forms is masked before it leaves your browser, and these tools only load after you accept this category. | Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity (heatmaps & session recordings) — only with your consent | Up to 13 months | Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Marketing | Measure ad campaigns and surface relevant content off-site. If you opt in and then subscribe or send an enquiry, your email address is shared with Google in hashed form so a conversion can be matched to an ad click. Nothing else is shared, and never if you opt out. | Google Ads conversion tracking (set only if you opt in) | Up to 13 months | Consent (GDPR) / opt-out (CCPA/CPRA) |
Third-party processors
With your consent, analytics and marketing data is processed by Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads) and by Microsoft (Clarity — heatmaps and session recordings). Clarity records anonymised interactions such as clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement; text you type into forms is masked in your browser before anything is sent. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement and the Google Privacy Policy for how they handle it.
Your rights — EU / UK (GDPR)
Non-essential cookies are only set after you give specific, informed, freely-given consent. You can withdraw consent at any time using the button above; withdrawal is as easy as giving consent. You also have the right to access, rectify, port, restrict, and erase your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Your rights — US (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident (or covered by Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or Utah privacy laws), you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and to limit the use of sensitive personal information. Turning off the Marketing category, or sending a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser, is treated as an opt-out request — we honour both automatically.
How to control cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Doing so may affect how this and other sites behave. To clear the consent stored on this device, open preferences above and choose Reject all.
