How we use cookies and storage.
We only use the small number of cookies we actually need to run the site, remember your choice, and (when you have agreed) measure how things are going.
TODO: Tom to legally review this page before launch.
This page is written in good faith and reflects the cookies and trackers the site actually loads today. It is not legal advice and should be checked against your current data protection documentation (UK GDPR, PECR) before being treated as final.
Our approach.
Nothing optional loads until you tell us it can. When you first arrive we show a banner with three choices: Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage preferences for a per-category toggle.
Google Consent Mode defaults are set to denied on every page load so analytics, advertising and personalisation storage are blocked until consent is granted. Embedded YouTube videos use the youtube-nocookie.com domain and only load the iframe once you grant Marketing consent, or when you press Load video on the panel.
Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie called lg_consent and in your browser’s localStorage for 12 months. You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer.
What we set.
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| lg_consent | Stores your cookie choice so we do not ask again on every page or load optional tags without permission. | Legal Growth (first party) | 12 months | Necessary |
| Form session state | Keeps your in-progress contact, assessment, newsletter and conference interest form submissions working as you fill them in. No data is stored once the request has been sent. | Legal Growth (first party, Resend handles outbound email) | Session only | Necessary |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager. Measures aggregate traffic so we can understand what content is useful. Loads only after you grant Analytics or Marketing consent. | Google (via GTM container, if configured) | Up to 2 years | Analytics |
| YouTube cookies (youtube-nocookie) | Embedded Conference and Awards videos. Uses the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain, which does not set tracking cookies unless the video is played. Loads only after Marketing consent, or when you click Load video on the panel. | Google / YouTube | Up to 2 years once played | Marketing |
| TomCRM booking widget | The Book a call link opens the TomCRM booking widget on a separate page (link.tomcrm.co.uk). Any cookies that service sets are covered by their own policy; nothing is set until you follow the link. | TomCRM (link.tomcrm.co.uk) | Varies, controlled by TomCRM | Necessary |
