Cookie policy
Effective date: 1 May 2025 · Host: leeds.digital
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the site. Under UK GDPR and the UK PECR, we are required to obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
2. Cookies we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ld_cookie_consent | Essential | Stores your cookie preference (all or essential). | 1 year |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics 4 — measures page views, sessions and navigation patterns. IP addresses are anonymised. No personal data is sold or shared with third parties. | Up to 2 years |
3. Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to work and cannot be switched off. They do not collect any personally identifiable information. The sole essential cookie we set is ld_cookie_consent, which remembers the choice you make below.
4. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4)
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are popular, how visitors find the site, and general session data. We enable IP anonymisation so your full IP address is never stored by Google. We do not use remarketing features, cross-site tracking, or share data with any third-party advertisers.
Google’s own privacy policy governs data processed by their servers: policies.google.com/privacy.
5. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, and erase personal data we hold about you. Because we do not collect directly identifiable personal data ourselves, the primary way to exercise your rights is to withdraw your analytics consent below (which stops future tracking) and to clear any existing analytics cookies from your browser settings.
