What this website uses
The public pages set no cookies and no browser identifiers. Google Analytics and advertising scripts are not installed. Fonts, images and icons are delivered by the website itself. The only third-party content is the booking calendar on the Book page, provided by Google.
| Item | Purpose and duration |
|---|---|
| Website cookies | None. |
| Your choice about third-party content | One entry in your browser's local storage holding your answer (accepted or declined) and its date, so the question is not asked again. Kept until you change the choice or clear your browser data. Storing a consent choice needs no consent. |
| Booking calendar (Google Calendar) | Loaded on the Book page only after you accept third-party content or select Show available times. Google may then set its own cookies under its policy; payment on that page is handled by Stripe under its policy. |
| Analytics, advertising, social media and maps | Not used. Optional aggregate page counts, without identifiers, are switched off. |
| Administrator session | Only for authorised administrators of the website, after sign-in: authentication tokens in local storage. Never set for visitors. |
Your choice
On your first visit, a notice at the foot of the page asks whether the booking calendar may load as soon as the Book page opens. Accept, and it does; decline, and the calendar waits until you select Show available times, a choice that lasts only while that page is open. Browsing the website is the same either way, and declining takes nothing away. The notice does not ask about cookies of our own, because there are none.
You can also delete the stored choice, and any cookies set by Google on the Book page, in your browser's settings. If analytics, advertising or other third-party content are ever added to this website, this policy and the notice will be updated before they are switched on.
Caching and security
Your browser may cache site files so that pages load quickly, and the hosting infrastructure processes technical request information to deliver the pages and protect them. Neither is tracking.
External links
LinkedIn is an ordinary link, not an embedded widget: if you open it, you leave this website and LinkedIn's own policies apply. An email link opens your email application. The Google Calendar booking page, when opened on its own, works the same way. Questions about this policy go to office@consultauthentic.com.
