Cookies policy
What cookies this site uses, why, and how you can accept or reject them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences or understand how pages are used. Similar technologies such as localStorage may also store a small preference, including your cookie consent choice.
How we use cookies
We use essential cookies (and localStorage) to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies, and to keep basic site functions working. If you accept analytics cookies, we may use them to understand aggregate visit patterns — which pages are read, and roughly how visitors arrive. Rejecting analytics does not block consultations, forms, or reading content.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| datasource_cookie_consent | Stores Accept or Reject choice for the cookie banner | Until cleared (localStorage) | DataSource Business Advisory |
| session_routing | Maintains basic session continuity for form error recovery where used | Session | DataSource Business Advisory |
| _ga / ga* | Distinguishes visitors for aggregated analytics (only if accepted) | Up to 2 years | Google Analytics (if enabled) |
| _gid | Distinguishes visitors for short-term analytics (only if accepted) | 24 hours | Google Analytics (if enabled) |
Essential items run regardless of analytics consent. Analytics cookies are set only after Accept.
Managing or disabling cookies
Use the Accept or Reject buttons on our banner when you first visit. You can clear site data in your browser settings to remove stored preferences and see the banner again. Most browsers also let you block third-party cookies or all cookies; blocking all cookies may affect some non-essential features.
Third-party cookies
If analytics are enabled after consent, the analytics provider may set their own cookies subject to their privacy policy. We do not use advertising networks on this site.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting or blocking analytics cookies will not prevent you from browsing consultations, reading field notes, or sending an enquiry. Essential preference storage may still be needed to remember that you rejected analytics so we do not ask on every page load.
